"An abundance of Katherines" by John Green

I have continued to read my book and its becoming more and more interesting. Once Colin and Hassan arrive at Gutshot they meet a girl called Lindsey who coincidentally is dating a guy named Colin. Her  great grand father started a string factory there a long time ago and it is the hotspot for all people looking for a job. The three of them become friends very quickly and Lindsey's mom gives Hassan and Colin a job which includes going around the town and asking people about Gutshot and a factory there. They interview local people who live in the area as well as factory workers. Whats quite interesting is that Lindsey seems to act very differently in front of each group of people which suggests that she changes the way she is to make other people happy; making her a people pleaser. Collin thinks that she isn't very intelligent and is quite superficial. She reads Celebrity Living and doesn't seem to have much depth. Although in fact in my opinion I think that she just plays dumb as a coping mechanism or a mask for her insecurities. She seems to wear a lot of different masks infant of certain types of people which is very interesting.

I think the characters in the book are becoming more and more complex which is thickening the plot. I really am enjoying this book and can't wait to find where the characters adventures will lead them.
