Math meets Love Story
Bewertet mit 2 Sternen
When we are talking about girls, Colin has only one type that he likes. Girls named Katherine. But he does not seem to be very successful with that, because each time he’s the one who gets dumped. So far there were 19 girls named Katherine who dumped him. To get over his broken heart he goes on a road trip with his best fried Hassan. Now he’s also on a mission to write a theorem that predicts how likely someone will dump someone. This is supposed to help predict any relationship and finally win him the girl.
As a math geek myself I really liked the idea of a guy trying to find a theorem to predict relationships. Never would I have thought that the guy doing so is this annoying. Colin Singleton must be the most whiny person you can find. He knows that he is annoying and whiny but that does not make it any better. His best friend Hassan was only a small improvement. Supposedly he is the funny guy but most of his jokes were just truly bad. I mean he had his fun moments but there could definitely have been more of them. The plot itself was just plain boring. Nothing really exciting happened and I could not really see the characters evolve in any way. However I did enjoy some of the „useless knowledge“ that Colin provided and I also did like the theorem that he created. The rest was just not for me and so I can’t really recommend this book to anyone who’s looking for an enjoyable YA story.
