Colin is a teenage prodigy who is heartbroken after being dumped for the 19th time by a girl named Katherine. Smarting over his latest failed Katherine-induced romance, he heads on a road trip with his best friend, where he ends up in a small town called Gutshot, Tennessee. In between his rural adventures -- where, among other things, he ends up hunting a monster size pig -- he obsessively works on a math formula that will help him know in advance if a relationship will work out. Yes, this is a nerd book. And yes, it's as dorky as it sounds. But it's also well written and fun and ... OK, OK, I admit it, it's a nerd book for math geeks, but hey, I like math!
3 out of 5 stars
