An Abundance of Katherines, by John Green

sooOOO i went shopping on wednesday and i finally bought my own copy of katherines (and paper towns) and yeah so im not sure what else to write

Summary:


so basically theres this boy named colin singleton and he is a child prodigy (he knows everything- and i mean everything. literally. just read the book)  and he has a thing for girls named katherine. he has been dumped exactly 19 times, and each time he was dumped by a different girl, and each time the girls name was katherine. so with the end of the relationship with katherine the 19th, colin decides to go on a road trip to clear his brain or whatever because he is so devastated and he cannot for the life of him explain why his katherines keep dumping him. so with his best friend hassan, he goes to a tiny little town called gutshot tennessee  because he heard that the archduke franz ferdinand (whos assasination began world war I) was buried there (he wasnt) and there he meets a girl named lindsey lee wells (who happens also to be dating a boy jerk named colin) and there he becomes friends with her and he stays with her and he gets a job interviewing the citys residents who work in a factory and i am not going to say what that factory produces but if you want to you can google it. so while he is there he is a) becoming closer to lindsey and b) trying to develop a formula to graph a relationship and figure out (finally) why he keeps getting dumped by girls named katherine. then hassan ends up going out with the hottest girl in the entire town, and then sees her with lindseys boyfriend colin so he dumps her and lindsey dumps colin and ends up with our colin (colin singleton) and then they find out that the factory is not making enough money so they are burrying half their product and keeping everyone employed. and colin also learns that the future is unpredictable. 


so in the end his formula looked like this :
and yeah
its beautiful okay just read the book.

My overall opinion:

27462837491284/10 i loved it so much oiwaehflviuedsjholqiawefhlucisdho8i;OWIEUFVH;ODSIJK and yeah i really liked lindsey and hassan they were soo funny and TOC irritated me a lot and idk the book was just really good but i liked looking for alaska a little better. but it was still really good and i think colin is the only main character that ive ever related to so much like ewiofhdvilujfdscikjsvdfnoriwgh.vkfd we even worry about the same things and like idk it was really good i like colin but not as much as i like augustus waters but i am nothing like augustus but i feel like colin and i would have gotten along really well but i dont ship myself and colin cuz i ship him with lindsey and anyway i ship myself with someone else. so.


and temporarily heres a picture of the cover i will edit this so that it is a picture of my copy once i get home but for now:






i think this is the fan designed one but im not for 100% sure
