Katherine V thought boys were gross
Katherine X just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail
K-19 broke his heart
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.
On a road trip miles 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 surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
And here is my opinion.
Once again John Green never ceases to amaze me! I really enjoyed this book, almost as much as I enjoy chocolate rice krispy treats. Yum! Normally I can't stand when a book jumps around in time but this one was able to tie in the skippy timeline thing. The best part is that John Green wrote a touching romance novel where the feelings between the characters is so much more than just sensual lust and tension. I read romance novels and sometimes I get the "Romeo and Juliet" relationship feel or the "Planning the other persons murder and then succumbing to wild monkey lusts". This didn't have that at all. These two met and they were friends before they were in love. Of course I am failing to mention the fact that there is a fight scene in this book even though it's a romance. This book is so great.
