An Abundance of Katherines, by John Green is a book about a teenage boy named Colin. He is a child prodigy, but is never satisfied, and nothing is ever good enough for him. He is looking for his big shot moment to become a genius, but he struggles with many things including depression. Colin has dated nineteen different girls by the name of Katherine. At the beginning of the book, Katherine (the ninetieth) broke up with him, and he can only seem to remember her, the one who broke up with him.
After this break up, Colin's amusing Muslim friend, Hassan, convinces him to go on a road trip with him. They end up in some rural place in Tennessee. They meet a girl named Lindsey, whom Colin is quickly attracted too. They soon find out that she is dating another boy named Colin. (a.k.a. TOC (The Other Colin.)) She is a parametric in training and gives tours of the local Archduke's grave. Soon after their arrival, Holly, Lindsey's mother, employs them at the tampon string factory that she owns.
While his attraction to Lindsey becomes stronger, he searches for his "Eureka" moment. He comes up with a theorem to determine the curve of every relationship. He finds that this theorem has been true for each of his nineteen relationships with each Katherine. Finally, TOC is found cheating on Lindsey. Colin immediately finds Lindsey and is happy when she confesses that he is relieved by this matter. They confess their love for each other and all is well, until he finds out that in his theorem, Lindsey will break up with him in four days. Lindsey finds this out and four days later, slips a note to him saying that they need to break up, and at the end writes "P.S. I'm just joking."
Despite his theorem failing, they end up driving into the distance on another adventurous road trip.
