ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green tells the story of Colin Singleton, a former child prodigy who has been dumped by nineteen different girls, all named Katherine. Seeking a new direction in life after his most recent breakup, Colin embarks on a road trip with his best friend, Hassan, leading them to the small town of Gutshot, Tennessee. Here, they meet Lindsey Lee Wells, and the three of them spend the summer working on a local history project.

The narrative explores Colin's journey of self-discovery as he grapples with his past relationships, intellectual identity, and a desire to matter. The book delves into themes of love, loss, friendship, and the importance of stories in shaping who we are. Colin tries to understand his life using mathematical formulas, anagrams, and other intellectual pursuits, which is contrasted by the emotional and social experiences he has during his road trip. Ultimately, he learns to appreciate the value of personal connections and shared narratives over abstract concepts.
