Instant Karma
by Marissa Meyer
Prudence and Quint are high school lab partners. Pru is an overachiever while Quint lives a more relaxed lifestyle. When they get a C in their class, Pru wants to do extra credit over the summer, but Quint is not on board with spending his summer working on a school project. When Pru hits her head after singing "Instant Karma" by John Lennon she gets the ability to cast instant karma on those around her that she feels are doing wrong. The only person she can’t use this power on is Quint. When she discovers more about Quint and how he volunteers at his mother’s animal rescue center, she offers to volunteer as long as he does the extra credit with her.
This was a cute young adult contemporary romance with some magical realism thrown in. Prudence is a bit stuck up, but she’s a smart teenage girl with her head on straight, which I like as a main character in young adult. Quint seems to be a slacker, but there’s so much more to his character. This is definitely an enemies to lovers trope with the two being an unlikely couple.
My favorite part of the book was once Pru started volunteering at the animal rescue center. I loved all of the animals that they helped. I enjoyed that this book gave me an education on beach cleanup and conservation of wildlife. I liked Pru and Quint’s relationship especially as he teaches her more about the animals at the rescue center and how people can make a difference in helping them.
The only negative I have is that this booked dragged a bit at the end. It could have been a few chapters shorter.
I listened to the audiobook and thought that narrator, Rebecca Soler, did a great job. I enjoy Marissa Meyer’s writing style, and I would recommend this to fans of YA romance.
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
