An Abundance of Katherines

From the acclaimed author of "Turtles All the Way Down" and "The Fault in Our Stars," this novel is both a Michael L. Printz Honor Book and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist. It has also clinched a spot on the New York Times Bestseller list. Colin Singleton, who has a peculiar penchant for girls named Katherine, finds himself repeatedly heartbroken, having been dumped by nineteen Katherines. Embarking on a road trip equipped with ten thousand dollars, he's accompanied by his carefree best friend, who adores Judge Judy, and they have an unexpected travel companion: a menacing wild hog. Yet, they're notably absent of any Katherines. Colin is determined to validate his innovative idea—The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability. He envisions this theorem as a tool to forecast the dynamics of any romance, seek retribution for all hearts that have been broken, and ultimately help him win the girl. This cleverly constructed, comedic tale explores themes of love, camaraderie, and personal growth, concluding unexpectedly as it intertwines with the story of a deceased Austro-Hungarian archduke.
