Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer

 


“Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. 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. 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. 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 . . . love and hate.” - taken from Goodreads.com


Beatle fans, prepare for your time to shine. Prudence Barnett is a chronic overachiever who has had to endure marine biology with laid-back Qulint Erickson. Unhappy with the grade on their final project, Pru attempts to find a way to improve her grade with or without Quint’s help. When a fall in a restaurant leaves her with a slight lump on her head, Pru soon realizes that she has the power to impart bad Karma on those around her she feels are deserving, except for Quint. As she begins to further research for their project, Prudence soon learns that she has vastly underestimated Quint Erickson. She soon finds herself not only involved with the local marine animal rescue center but with Quint himself.


A fun, uplifting story about how not everything is what it seems and the true meaning of karmic justice.
