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. Nin
eteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, wa
shed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty fer
al hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy - loving best friend riding sh
otgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underly
ing Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any rela
tionship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friends
hip, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changin
g conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
