About An Abundance of Katherines

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. Now, on a road trip far from home, this washed-up child prodigy is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship and avenge Dumpees everywhere.

Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel.

About this title

Review:

About Penguin Minis:

"The tiny editions are the size of a cellphone and no thicker than your thumb, with paper as thin as onion skin. They can be read with one hand -- the text flows horizontally, and you can flip the pages upward, like swiping a smartphone.... It's a bold experiment that, if successful, could reshape the publishing landscape and perhaps even change the way people read." - The New York Times

"Imagine an operating room at the start of a daring but well-rehearsed procedure and you will have something of the atmosphere of "An Abundance of Katherines" every detail considered, the action unrolling with grace and inevitability." --New York Times Book Review

"Funny, sweet, and unpredictable." -The Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The laugh-out-loud humor ranges from delightfully sophomoric to subtly intellectual." -Booklist, starred review
