Who would like this book? An Abundance of Katherines is a comedy fiction book that’s a quick and easy read. I wold recommend it to anyone, especially girls ages 12-15.
The goods on this book: Colin, a former child prodigy, has spent his whole life on quiz shows, learning languages, and falling in love with girls named Katherine. He’s just broken up with his nineteenth Katherine, leaving him devastated. His charismatic best friend Hassan decides it’s time Colin takes the pressure off himself and whisks him off on a road trip without a destination. They end up in an unknown town with a family that works in a textile industry when Colin gets an idea. He decides he can create a mathematical formula to predict how each and every relationship will go. Filled with stories and flashbacks from each of Colin’s failed relationships and plenty of hilarious moments, An Abundance of Katherines is great for anyone that’s interested. This book was a quick but enjoyable read, with dynamic characters and an intriguing storyline.
