An Abundance of Katherines

by John Green

Summary: Colin Singleton has been dumped 19 times. And every single one of those girls was named Katherine, spelled the exact same way. When the 19th Katherine dumps him, he and his hilarious friend go on a road trip on which Colin, who is a "prodigy," works on a mathematical theorum that will predict how long a couple's relationship will last. The road trip ends with an early, and totally unexpected stop, in Gutshot, Tennessee, where Colin meets a Lindsey, who changes everything.

My thoughts: This book is so, so funny--do not read in a quiet place, because you will laugh out loud! Every page of this book has footnotes, most of which are sarcastic asides. Another genius novel by one of my favorite YA authors. A note: this is a high school book, so we do not have it in this library, but if it sounds good to you, don't forget the public library!
