An Awesome Enemies-to-Love Teen Romance Book

Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer

I loved this book!

Instant Karma is an entertaining and superbly crafted enemies-to-love teen romance. 

Meyer is pitch perfect in her depiction of teens, and how their passionate convictions and goals often afford no gray areas. Perfect example: Academic overachiever Pru is quick to disparage certain classmates, especially Quint, her seemingly lazy lab partner.

 

Pru can magically cause instant karma on others — except Quint. How frustrating the universe keeps blocking her! But when Pru’s desperate quest to improve a bad grade forces her to volunteer at Quint’s family’s sea animal rescue center, she realizes how badly she had misjudged him.

 

Meyer goes beyond stereotypes, giving each character emotional depth. She realistically depicts the push-pull of teenagers’ feelings. Teen concerns, including the environment, family economics, and animal welfare, are woven seamlessly into the love story. 

 

Instant Karma takes readers on a layered, magical journey they won’t soon forget.
