Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer

Instant Karma - a book about an over achiever who after a slip and fall gets a concussion some how develops these powers to give out instant Karma... When Prudence first realizes this gift/curse she's super excited and it's like boom you're a bad person bad karma, you're a bad person boom bad karma,, she dishes it out like no body's business but slowly she starts realizing the ripple effect of what happens with every decision she makes. This is simply an adorable cute slow romance and Karma filled story that really opens your eyes that although you may think your point of view is the right one well there is a point of view that may simply disagree.

Overall I love the character's and I loved this little small town point of view and crazy amount of Karma that is dished out and how it comes full circle. My only annoyance is that throughout this story Prudence is so concerned about helping the rescue center that she seems to be for the most part oblivious to her own family's troubles and sorry this is a bit of a spoiler the book never really answers or resolves this issue for me.. not sure if it gets resolved in the next book but it was quite annoying that it wasn't here therefore I only gave it 4 stars.

But to surmise my overall review of this book I will say that I did have fun reading it, I loved the characters and the story and I would definitely recommend to anyone that loves contemporary romance. This was adorable and just a cozy read.

Excited to read the next book in this series. :)

there is no way in HELL Prudence would accept a half-assed apology after being accused of committing a CRIME.

Honestly, probably would have given it a 4 if it wasn’t for the fight with Quint and Rosa at the end. The fact that Rosa never actually apologized to Prudence and how Prudence so easily forgave her pissed me off. Even Quint apologized slightly better than Rosa did. I’m very disappointed.
