The way she used her instant karma powers was mildly infuriating, particularly because all I wanted was for her to receive a bit of karmic justice for her own attitude. She assumed that Quint was constantly slacking and when he tried to explain himself and provide her with a (very reasonable) excuse for his constant tardiness, she told him to stop talking and wrote him off. She was self-centered, judgmental, and rude. As he developed as a character and Pru learned more and more about him, he just became more likable and was my favorite character by the end of the book. He had an affable personality and tried to be nice to Pru despite her frostiness towards him. It was clear almost immediately that there was more to his character than met the eye and honestly, he was likable from the start. In Pru’s eyes, Quint fails to pull his own weight time after time, and his lack of interest in their joint project infuriates her. Pru is a perfectionist and focuses heavily on her grades and little else, while Quint seems to always show up late. The story is set up as a sort of hate to love romance between two lab partners who just can’t seem to get along. I loved the animals, the new information I received about them and their care, and I overall appreciated the research that must’ve gone into those scenes. Honestly, the time spent at the conservation center was my favorite part of the book. Since reading this book, I’ve developed a newfound love for sea creatures and preservation. The added twist of “instant karma” sounded incredibly fun and this quickly became one of my most anticipated reads of 2020. I always love the romance in her series and was so excited to read a book from her that was wholly focused on romance. Marissa Meyer has done something that her readers have wanted for years – she has finally delved into the romantic comedy genre. I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review Soon, Pru begins to uncover truths about Quint, her peers, and even herself that reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to karaoke hecklers, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner and all-around mortal enemy. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.

In this young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her-both good and bad.Ĭhronic overachiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town.

Hopeful book marissa meyer
