Predictions for "An Abundance of Katherines"

After finishing The Fault in Our Stars, I decided to continue my trend by reading another John Green book. With high hopes, I started An Abundance of Katherines. This book is about Colin, a ex-child prodigy who just graduated high school. On the same day of his graduation, Colin was dumped by his girlfriend, Katherine. This was the 19th consecutive Katherine Colin had dated since the third grade; all of them had dumped him and left him broken hearted. Colin decides to go on a road trip with his best friend, Hassan, to try to get his mind off the break up. They drive for about 12 hours south of Chicago when they end up in a small Tennessee town, Gutshot. They meet Lindsey, a worker at a local convenience shop. They get a job with Lindsey's mother, who knows Colin from a show he participated on when he was a child prodigy. While in Gutshot, Colin tries to figure out the purpose of his life, knowledge, and love through logic. He creates equations and diagrams to try to help him solve these problems in his life.

As I continue to read this book, I predict that Colin will end up really liking Lindsey. Based on their flirty interactions, I believe that Colin already likes her but just doesn't want to admit it to himself because he consumed in the fact that the perfect girl for him will be named Katherine. I also predict that Hassan will also start to fall for Lindsey, causing problems in Colin and Hassan's friendship. As well as conflict between Colin and Hassan, I think Lindsey's boyfriend, Colin (not the main character, another Colin), will also get involved in the competition for Lindsey. I'm excited to see how the see how the next events in the book compare to my predictions and how they escalate.
