In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult
contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast
instant karma on those around her - both good and bad.
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 mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers
consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner.
Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it
comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.
When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra
credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental
upheaval, and romantic crossed signals--not necessarily in that order.
Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue
and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate... and fate.
