By John Green. Colin Singleton was a nerdy child prodigy that has only dated and been dumped by 19 consecutive Katherines. Was a child prodigy because he has recently graduated high school which means that he is no longer a prodigy but genius seems out of his reach. He embarks on a road trip with his best friend Hassan--not a terrorist. They end up in Gutshot, Tennessee where Colin tries to come to grip with his Katherine past and his murky future. Hassan faces up to being a non-doer and Gutshot native Lindsey discovers that maybe there is more to life than staying in Gutshot as Colin and Lindsey try to work out the math involved in getting dumped by Katherines. This is a wonderful, quirky coming of age novel that teens and adults can find common ground in. Green captures those painful murky years between childhood and becoming an adult perfectly. Ride along on their journey, you won't regret it.
