Colin Singleton has been dumped by 19 girlfriends, each of them named Katherine. This fact leads the child prodigy on a quest to develop a mathematical equation to explain it. A road trip with his nerdy best-friend Hassan takes them to Tennessee where he is captivated by a girl--named surprisingly-- Lindsey! The book is heavy with footnotes and an appendix to explain the math, which plays a large role. Wonderful characters, a touch of humor and two teenagers looking for love from the author of Looking for Alaska. Booklist called it a "sharp, intelligent story." I was drawn to this book on my visit to the Erving Public Library because I loved Alaska and was intrigued by any book that can correlate love and math!
