The Karma Club Jessica Brody Books

Jessica Brody has created a light-hearted story about a group of friends who decide that the universe isn't quick enough to punish those who have wronged them. When Maddy walks in on her soon-to-be-ex boyfriend making out with the most popular girl at school she wants nothing more than to make him feel the same hurt and humiliation that she did, but when the universe takes too long in righting this wrong, she decides to take things into her own hands. She decides to form the Karma Club with her friends and get back at the cheating boyfriends who have hurt them.

What the friends soon learn is that every action has a consequence. Will they be able to handle all the consequences or will the universe be able to balance itself out again?

This was a light-hearted read with interesting characters. At times it felt like a self-help book as it explained the rules of karma and the butterfly effect. But, the actions and consequences that the characters run into made it an interesting read.

The Karma Club Jessica Brody Books Reviews

Madison Kasparkova, has a textbook-perfect boyfriend, Mason, and two wonderful best friends, Angie and Jade, but what Maddy really wants out of life is hardcore popularity. To that end, she sends her boyfriend's photo and mini-bio to a teen magazine so that he'll be featured and everyone will envy her when they read the article about him, thus catapulting her to new social heights. Her plan backfires, because after the article runs, Mason dumps her for the queen bee of their high school. Maddy decides that because he hurt her, she needs to pay him back in kind. Angie and Jade are more than willing to help her form a Karma Club to avenge herself on Mason, because it means that they'll get to dole out some tail-kicking karma to their own awful ex-boyfriends.

I don't really like the premise. The girls complain about how horrible it is that bad people don't get paid back for their bad deeds, but what they really mean is that anyone who has been mean to the three of them shouldn't go unpunished. When forming the club, Maddy stipulates, "No one can know that we are in any way responsible for what is about to happen. Everything has to be completely and utterly anonymous. Untraceable. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Karma. It would just be three bitter girls trying to get back at a bunch of their ex-boyfriends and the girl who stole one of them, which isn't the point at all" (pg 69). It sounds to me like it's exactly the point, otherwise the girls wouldn't be trying to forcibly induce karmic balance for only the people who've personally wounded them. I think I would have enjoyed the story more if Maddy and her friends had been more honest about their motivations--I could really get into a book called the Bitter Revenge Club.

Maddy's not an awful person, but I couldn't connect to her because it seemed that pre-breakup, all she wanted was popularity, and post-breakup all she wanted was for Mason to be miserable. She's a second-semester senior, and her goals make her feel like a much younger teen. The character I liked best was Spencer, the most popular boy in school, who takes an interest in Maddy and turns out to be less shallow than he originally appears.

Of course, by the end the girls all learn a big lesson about the dangers of seeking revenge, so that's an upside. The Karma Club isn't a bad book at all--it just didn't work for me.
It's a good book. I enjoyed reading it. You won't regret purchasing this book because it's a good read. Go jessica Brody!!!
I loved this book. I thought it was funny. It also was cute. It had a good story plot too
Perfect summer reading. I got through it in about 3 days. It's really entertaining and I also took something positive away from this book. The author's writing really flows well, there aren't any slow parts to the story (in my opinion). Great light summer read, couldn't put it down. ) I consider this a must read.
Although my favorite Jessica Brody book is "My Life Undecided", this one is also a fun coming of age tale. Perfect for the almost-in-high-school reader, as well as the I'm-in-it-now reader. Clever concept of Karma and how our actions reach further than we intent, sometimes for better, sometimes not. (I'm an adult, btw, who's hooked on YA. Fast and fun to read for OA's (old adults) too!)
I found this book to be pretty comical. Not in anyway the best book ever but a good book if you want an easy read. The things the characters do as karmic pay back is pretty inspired! lol...The ending felt like it wrapped up a little too neatly in my opinion. I mean, they did some pretty awful things and got away with it all. Although I think they were just handing out karmic justice I felt they should be held responsible for their actions as well...I dunno. Other than that small issue it is a pretty good read.
