Mini-Review

Colin is a (former) child prodigy who has just been dumped by his 19th Katherine – all his girlfriends have had the same name. Devastated, he embarks on a road trip with his friend Hassan, ending up in a small town called Gutshot, working with an intriguing girl called Lindsey, going on a feral pig hunt, investigating a tampon string factory mystery and formulating a theorem to predict the course of a romance.

I’m loving John Green at the moment and this book was funny and enjoyable… but it’s not as good as his first book (Looking for Alaska). One for JG fans, but it wouldn’t be the first one I’d recommend.
