This was my 3rd favorite John Green novel (1: Looking for Alaska and 2: The Fault in Our Stars) and I thought it was original and funny and quirky and had resonances of new beginnings and moving on and it was just great. And I don't even like math. The story is about a child prodigy (not genius) who is now no longer a child, who has only ever dated girls by the name of Katherine and so far has been dumped by all 19 of them. He then tries to come up with a mathematical prediction of how a relationship will go and who will be the dumper/dumpee ect.
Great Lines:
"After a while, having each tooth individually destroyed probably gets repetitive, even dull. But it never stops hurting"
"You matter as much as the things that matter to you"
"Books are the ultimate dumpee's; put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they will always love you back"
"I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter."
"Dating, after all, ends only one way: poorly"
