THE KARMA CLUB
Farrar, Straus, Giroux Books for Young Readers
April 27, 2010
When you mess with Karma, Karma messes back...
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.
"Equal parts fresh, funny, and engaging...this is one YA debut you won’t want to miss!"
- Alyson Noel, NYT best selling author of Evermore and Blue Moon
"All the fun and intrigue of Gossip Girl, with the heart of a Sarah Dessen novel and the soul of the I Ching."
- Gabrielle Zevin, author of Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac

- Booklist
In her job, she's an expert on men...
In her own life, she doesn't have a clue.
Jennifer Hunter never saw herself as the relationship type. After all, she’d spent the last two years of her life as an undercover fidelity inspector, hired to test men’s faithfulness—not exactly the kind of job that lends itself to intimacy. But when Jamie Richards walked into her life, everything changed, and Jennifer vowed to trade in her undercover lifestyle for something more normal.
That’s why she formed the Hawthorne Agency: Five full-time fidelity inspectors, hired to carry out Jennifer’s mission while she manages the process from a safe (relationship-saving) distance. But a surprise proposal from Jamie leaves her wondering if the “normal” life is really meant for her. Can a former fidelity inspector who’s seen nothing but failed marriages ever come to terms with tying the knot herself? And when she receives a frantic phone call from one of her employees in trouble, she’s faced with a choice: fulfill her obligation to the client who needs her or honor her promise to the man she loves.
Bestselling author, Jessica Brody continues to shine in this compelling follow-up to The Fidelity Files.
