Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer
4.0

I received the eAudio ARC through NetGalley

So this is definitely my least favourite Marissa Meyer book but it is by no means bad. Meyer's fantasy books offer very well written character in a setting that we're familiar with but has been messed with and made her own. I think the characters in this were just as strong as I expected but it's missing a twist. It's too by the book/by the known structure. It's by no means a bad book but it doesn't feel like a Marissa Meyer book which was a bit disappointing. The ending was nauseatingly happy and clean (which may not be for me but I know is a big appeal in YA contemporaries). The setting was fun and it did have some discussions about things we struggle with today (eco-tourism, animal rescue, finances, etc).
