Instant Karma

In Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, Prudence Daniels, a chronic overachiever, gains the unexpected ability to cast instant karma on those around her after a night out. Eager to enact karmic justice, she initially directs her powers at the town's wrongdoers, but they continually misfire on her charming slacker lab partner, Quint Erickson. As Pru volunteers at a local rescue center, she discovers deeper truths about morality, relationships, and the complexities of life, blurring the lines between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed, and love and hate.
