Plot summary

AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES is the story of Colin Singleton who, at the end of his high school career, is unceremoniously dumped by a girl named Katherine. It must be noted that she is, in fact, the 19th girl named Katherine with which Colin has had a relationship, none of which ended very well. Mired in rejection and plagued with the knowledge that his status of "child prodigy" is nearly at an end, Colin sets off on a walkabout with his best friend, Hassan, with the idea of finding a mathematical formula that can predict where any relationship will head, (and thus elevate him to the adult status of "genius")which he calls, "The Theorem for Underlaying Katherine Predictability."

Synopsis

  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 time, to be exact.
 On a road trip miles away from home, this anagram-happy, washed up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty 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.
  Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to a surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself by Printz medalist John Green, acclaimed author of Looking For Alaska.
