An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, the author of The Fault in our Stars, Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska.
The expectation of all John Green books is to create a flood of tears, well this book doesn't accomplish that goal.
Colin is a prodigy/genius with predisposition to fall in love with girls named Katherine and later get dumped by them.
After Katherine XIX Colin believes that there will never be other Katherines.
With his friend, Hassan, Colin sets out on a road trip to forget all Katherines and seek an eureka moment.
They end up in a small town called Gutshot, Tenessee.
When we met Lindsey we all knew she'd dump Colin (her boyfriend, not Colin the prodigy) and start dating Colin (yes, the prodigy). As opposed to The Fault in our Stars where we didn't expect the end till the final chapters, in An Abundance of Katherines we can sense the way it'll end from the first chapter.
Annoying aspects:

Annoying aspects:
- The anagrams, it's really ANNOYING anagramming every single word.
- The footnotes, there are 87 footnotes (and most of them about maths and translation from Arabic) in the book that adds like 10 pages more.
- The words fugging, fug and fugged. In every page like 10 times.
