Karma Club

I don't read realistic fiction often but I think this book made me rethink all the prejudice I had in my mind about the whole genre. Really, I don't like realistic fiction because it reminds me of my life and I read so I can escape my life, not be brought back to it. But this book made me laugh and feel happy and sad for the characters.

I'd been looking at this book for a long time, eyeing it on the shelf. Like Finnikin, I'd take it off the shelf and examine it before putting it back. I just wasn't sure whether it was safe or not. Now I found out that I was kinda right on not trusting it. It's slightly more mature than you think. But not in a bad way. In a very funny way.

Here's the cover-

Maddy, Jade and Angie were all disrespected by boys. Maddy's boyfriend dumped her for the most popular girl in school. Jade's old boyfriend made love with another girl before her. Angie's just had bad experiences with them in general. When Maddy's mom takes her on a surprise visit to a spiritual center, Maddy learns about the force of Karma that controls the balance of energy in the universe. She and her friends decide to create a Karma Club where they give payback to the boys that hurt them.

As everything seems to be going well, Maddy lets down her guard a little. She gets put with a new tutoring student who signed up anonymously only to find out that it is Spencer, one of the boys that they were targeting for revenge. After spending time with him, she begins to realize that Spencer isn't the stuck up snob he seems to be from a distance. But how will Maddy be able to save Spencer and convince her friends that he isn't evil without giving away their secret relationship? And with all the Karma setting they've been doing, will Karma eventually bite them like it bit their targets?

My thoughts- 

It was a very relateable story which I say is hard to find. Even in the realistic fiction genre. I know I am too young to have a boyfriend, but I too have been cheated as a friend and have wanted revenge. The Karma Club wasn't.necessarily.the best choisce of action but it was driven on by pure motives anyone can relate to. Honestly, I learned one lesson from this book. Never try to control forces that are completely out of your control.A very detailed plot with many twists and turns. I recommend it to anyone around high school age.But definitely for lovers of comedy and romance.
