If you read my last post, Birthday Shenanigans, you'd know that I received three books for my birthday about a fortnight ago.
Those books were, An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Let It Snow.
I recently finished reading An Abundance of Katherines, which I'm now going to abbreviate to AAoK, as typing it will get irritating and annoying.
Anyway, the book is about a child prodigy, Colin Singleton and his best friend, Hassan Harbish, a Judge Judy fan. During his life, Colin has dated 19 girls, and been dumped 19 times, all by girls named Katherine (spelt all the same way). After K-19 dumps him, Colin and Hassan decide to go on a road trip to try and cheer Colin up.
I won't reveal anything else incase you guys want to read it, but that's how it kind of starts.
BLURB-
19 KATHERINES AND COUNTING...
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a blood-thirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
It is a great book, I would recommend it to anyone, though it does show some complicated math which, if you're not good at math like me, confused me.
All in all, it is a good book, and a must-have.
