What would you do if 19 girls named, Katherine, dumped you?

Hey I’m Colin and apparently this happened to me.  I hear Katherine IXX say we are the problem.  Head in my hands I head upstairs to think.  I find my parents in my room they must be concerned.  I tell them I need some time alone to think.

Then my best friend Hassan finds out that Katherine broke up with me he comes to my room and tries to help me feel better.  He thinks I’m a genius even though I’m really a child prodigy.  Hassan then tells me we’re going on a road trip.  I know he’s trying to help me forget the nineteenth Katherine the nineteenth, but I didn’t feel like going on a road trip.

Hassan somehow got me to go.  So off we go on a road trip trying to avoid things that would help me remember Katherine IXX.  Everything I see reminds me of her!

This book can be kind of twisty.  There are a lot of open doors.  You never know what’s going to happen next.  I liked the suspense.  It kept me hooked to the story.  It helped me wait for the great twist in the end.

You never know what will happen on the road trip.  What if he meet’s another Katherine?  Does he meet someone who is not a Katherine, that he likes?  What will his next move be?
