February's Group Read - An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

After reading The Fault in Our Stars, which, by the way ruined my life in the best possible way. I'm not sure if my emotions are ready for another John Green book :)
An abundance of Katherines was my least favorite John Green Novel. But it still was a great feel good story.
I actually REALLY enjoyed this story. I wasn't overly annoyed with the main character like I was with Paper Towns and somewhat with Looking for Alaska, I would actually rank it as my second favourite John Green book. Such a cute, light weight story and it was refreshing.
This was definitely a good story and I appreciated all of the humor and wit, as well as the personal growth/realizations that the main character went through. I do wish that the plot moved a little faster though. It was just a little slower paced for my tastes. I was also ready to stop hearing about Katherine(s) by the end!





An Abundance of Katherines
Synopsis:
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. He's also a washed-up child prodigy with ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a passion for anagrams, and an overweight, Judge Judy-obsessed best friend. Colin's on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which will predict the future of all relationships, transform him from a fading prodigy into a true genius, and finally win him the girl.
Letting expectations go and allowing love in are at the heart of Colin's hilarious quest to find his missing piece and avenge dumpees everywhere.
