This book was such a cute and heartwarming book, I really related to the characters and honestly think everyone should read this book.

"Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer was super cute. Take a driven, yet sort of self-involved heroine, and pair her up as a lab partner with someone who is seemingly lazy and irresponsible. Cue the disaster that is this pair's final science…

I really enjoy Marissa Meyer's writing, so I was excited to read this book. However Instant Karma wasn't my favorite. I loved the individual characters and the music references throughout the story, but the plot felt cluttered. I feel…

I loved this book! It was the right amount of romance, but also with a good storyline. I hope she makes a sequel!

Prudence is a very high achiever and does her best in school, but after she is stuck with Quint, who she sees as the laziest, rudest and dumbest lab partner ever, she gets a poor mark and is absolutely destroyed. However, since this was a…

I decided to read this book because I liked the other books that Marissa Meyer has written, like the Cinder series and Renegades (although I liked the latter less), and this was pretty good for me. It's about a girl named Prudence Daniels…

Prudence is stuck with the absolute worst lab partner she could have ever imagined, Quint, and now has to deal with the absolutely unacceptable grade, a C, that she got because of him. The only way to change the grade is to redo the…

Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer is a heartwarming and utterly adorable YA contemporary romance centered around Prudence Daniels, a girl who suddenly receives the power to cast instant karma on anyone who she deems fit; magically balancing…

I grabbed this as a new audiobook based on the cover and I had no idea it was a teen novel. That said - it's quite fun! Imagine being back in high school with the gift of doling out instant karma on those who do you wrong. A good time for…

I’m a huge fan of Marissa Meyer, and this book did not disappoint. Instant Karma is a lighthearted story about right and wrong, perspective, and of course, karma—with a healthy dose of adorable marine mammals. It’s not a profound or…

The twist ending is what makes me like this book. Though I dislike the main character I do like the guy she is frenemies with. The author should make a book all about Quint because he is a far more interesting character than Prudence.

It's a light fluffy read from Marissa Meyer set in contemporary times, and although Prudence does indeed get the power to unleash karma on folks, she learns that perhaps she's not always right....A nice weekend read for curling up with a…

I loved the coastal town feel of this book. I also loved the environmental focus and the fact the protagonists are having real world impacts with what they're doing. It encourages readers to be active in their community. I will warn you…

I cannot say enough good things about this book!! Super light and "carefree" exactly the kind of book we all need in 2020. Love Marissa and all her works and can't wait to see what she comes up with next 💕

a contemporary YA from marissa meyer that is no lunar chronicles, but is well plotted as expected.

This was possibly my favorite teen read of 2020! I always love Marissa Meyer, and this rom-com was a departure from her usual genre, and is an instant winner. Pru is a straight-A student. Her bio partner, annoying and constantly tardy…

#IndyPLTeens: If you're a sucker for RomComs, this is your book! Prudence is an overachiever, and her class partner, Quint, is so not. After she earns a "C" on the final project, while Quint earns a better grade, Prudence is willing to…
