An Abundance of Katherines

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, John Green delivers a fresh and witty tale with An Abundance of Katherines.

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton, a former child prodigy, has a peculiar type: girls named Katherine. Remarkably, Colin has dated and been dumped by nineteen different Katherines. On the cusp of his latest heartbreak, he embarks on a spontaneous road trip with his quirky, Judge Judy-loving best friend, Hassan. Armed with ten thousand dollars in his pocket and no clear destination, Colin sets out to escape his troubled heart and perhaps discover himself along the way.

During the journey, Colin conceives a grand mathematical theorem he dubs the Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability. He believes this formula will not only predict the fate of any potential relationship but also avenge all the "dumpees" of the world, providing him with closure and hopefully winning him the girl of his dreams. However, as he makes his way through unfamiliar and often hilarious encounters, including a run-in with a feral hog, Colin learns that life and love are not always easily predictable by graphs and numbers.

An Abundance of Katherines is a richly layered novel infused with John Green’s signature humour and deep understanding of the human condition. Interweaving themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery, the story culminates in surprising and heartwarming conclusions that challenge Colin's preconceived notions about fate and relationships.
