LOVED An Abundance of Katherines!
I just finished reading John Green's Abundance of Katherine's. It was one of the funniest books that I have ever read. It is also one of the smartest. It is definitely for high schoolers. I am a pretty liberal middle school librarian and I know that some of my 8th graders would totally love this book (Jacob...I'm thinking of you!) but most of my kiddos aren't mature enough to "get it" and some of the language is very mature and "Catcher in the Rye"ish. The main character Colin has been dumped by 19 Katherines and he tries to develop a mathematical theorem on a road trip with his best friend to explain the phenomenom of dumpers and dumpees. Colin and his friend are total nerds and are proud of it. The trip leads them to Tennessee where they learn many life changing lessons about themselves and others.
