The Karma Club by Jessica Brody

The Karma Club
by Jessica Brody

Published: 2010
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Paperback release date: May 24, 2011
Genre: Coming of Age, Romance, YA
Hardback: 272 pages
Rating: 5

Description from amazon.com:
Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. Do good things and you'll be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what you deserve.

But when Maddy’s boyfriend cheats on her, nothing bad comes his way. That’s why Maddy starts the Karma Club, to clean up the messes that the universe has left behind. Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. It turns out Karma often has plans of its own.

Amusing chapter title:
The Legend of the Great Granny Panty Bandit
- page 111

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): butterfly

Loved it. Along with the fun moments, I liked how this book got me thinking of the power of choice in life situations. The book ends with an overall good message.
