Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer
4.0

Pru was definitely the worst part of this book! She definitely made me cringe. Her screaming down the classroom over her B- plus her arrogance at thinking she’s the better person really had me for a while. I think, by the end, she has begun to at least consider that people might have different opinions to her own…

That being said, I liked that we did have a flawed MC, and it wasn’t a ‘fake’ flaw that is secretly attractive. I’ve read so many books where the character’s “flaw” is that they’re an independent, badass loner, for example. Or the dreaded “clumsy” flaw. I liked that Pru was confident to the point of arrogance. It was different.

The nature and sea life theme also got me. I’m a sucker for the sea. Pru had me so annoyed for the first half when she was like “Why don’t we turn everything into a tourist trap to make money?!” Nah girl. Listen to Quint, for once.
