Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment onthe lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams ofkarmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakesup with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.
Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandalsto mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistentlybackfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyinglycute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with therescue center for local sea animals.
When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue centre for extra credit, shebegins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romanticcrossed signals - not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmicinsights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity andgreed . . . love and hate . . . and fate.
