John Green gets teenagers in a way that I think few adult authors do. His characters feel real to me and not at all forced or conjured. I just love his writing.

Having said that, An Abundance of Katherines was nowhere near as strong as Looking for Alaska or The Fault in Our Stars. I did love Hassan and all of Gutshot, TN. And while still endearing, Colin was a bit too whiny for me. And I guess it's because LFA and TFIOS touched on such deep topics and AAOK did not, but this one didn't leave me thinking about the characters long after I was finished, as LFA and TFIOS did. So I think the three-star review comes simply from my comparison of this book to his other ones that I loved so freaking much. Still a great read.
