I'm a simple girl. I see Marissa Meyer and I hit the "to-read" button before I even read the synopsis. It's just the way it is. Karma, from the Sanskrit karman, is a term widely used in various dharmic religions to refer to the spirit of balance and justice. I really enjoyed Pru and Quint’s interactions. Their romance was exactly what I look for when reading YA romance. Pru’s and Quint’s family and friends were also an important part of the story.

Karma truly is a bitch, and Prudence found that out firsthand. Its punishment sometimes harsh, and its reward mostly sweet. In the end, the universe played a role in turning the sour relationship between Prudence and Quint into something beautiful. And for another example, is there simultaneously too much going on here and not enough? Yeah, there is. But again, who can be bothered. because theres not the flashiness of her usual sci-fi/fantasy in this, it feels like MMs writing is stripped down, which helped me realise her writing skills are actually quite good. its simple, but really effective. the character development is great, the pacing is spot on, the banter is adorable. this is everything you could hope for from a YA contemporary.It really did take a bit for me to get into this, but once Prudence started softening up I enjoyed it much more. Quint is fun from the start, and I really love the relationship between Prudence and Jude, even though he treats her way better than she deserves sometimes. Ari is cool, too - I love how generous and warm she is, and I wish she'd been in more of the story. Watch Sadhguru in conversation with notable authors & personalities in medicine, sports, film and more. In the end, even though I didn't love this novel, I did enjoy parts of it. I really liked the side characters and would have liked more from them. Honestly, all of the characters were great except for Pru. Maybe I'm being overly judgmental of her, but then again, she was overly judgmental of everyone around her so let's just call that karmic justice, if you will. And after her hard work Prudence gets C which is unacceptable like an ambitious, ultra perfectionist girl like her. She needs to redo her assignment with Quint but at first she has to convince him to work with her. But you can guess both of the parties hate each other’s guts passionately! Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It is not some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it is possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Rebecca Soler and she did a fantastic job narrating. Rebecca Soler is one of my favorite narrators and her narration never disappoints. The enemies to lovers could have been cute but Prudence is beyond rude to Quint when he would just mind his business and if he would make a mistake she wouldn’t really allow him to speak. She only cared about herself and her own feelings. I actually liked Quint and Prudence’s brother Jude. All the characters except for Prudence herself were likable.The law of creation states that it's important to take action. Don't just wait around for good things to magically happen. The 11th law says that if we remain consistent in our good karmic deeds, they will eventually accumulate good karma. It's possible that the accumulation of good karma will take time, but eventually consistency of good karmic deeds reaps the reward of good karma. 12. The Law Of Significance And Inspiration
