Publisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
After being magically gifted with incredible luck, a boy discovers this gift just may be a curse when it comes to love, in this sweet romantic comedy by #1 New York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer.
Jude is determined to fly under the radar. He just wants to draw comics, host D&D night with his friends, work at his parents’ vinyl record store, and escape high school as unscathed as possible. That is, until the night he finds himself inexplicably gifted with a bout of supernatural good luck.
Suddenly, everything Jude has ever wanted is within reach. His art is being published. He helps his friend’s song become a finalist in a songwriting competition. And he wins a pair of coveted concert tickets, which he can use to ask out the popular girl he’s been crushing on since elementary school.
But how long can Jude’s good fortune last? And why does he find himself thinking about Ari, his best friend since forever? If Jude has been dreaming of the wrong girl this whole time, does that mean he's doomed to be unlucky in love forever?
With a sprinkle of magic, this sweet beachside romance is perfect for fans of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Love & Gelato, as well as anyone who has ever swooned over Marissa Meyer’s beloved characters.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 16-year-old artist Jude discovers a mysterious red 20-sided die that grants him an impossible run of good luck, it seems as if everything is finally going his way. His family's struggling record store starts turning a profit, his favorite gaming magazine accepts his art submission, he's acing schoolwork without even trying, and Maya, the popular girl he's loved from afar for years, agrees to go out with him. Nothing can go wrong—or so he believes. Because when Jude accepts that he and Maya would be better off as friends, he realizes that he's been overlooking his best friend Ari, whom he's never thought of in a romantic way before. And when his good luck starts swinging toward misfortune, Jude discovers that getting things the easy way may have a cost. In this companion to Instant Karma,Meyer presents a breezy and fun romantic comedy that cycles through predictable beats with good-natured charm. While there aren't many surprises, Jude's self-aware narration entreats to readers like a trusted confidante, and the chemistry between Jude and Ari is so palpable, it's a wonder it took them so long to realize it. Jude is white, Ari is Latinx, and Maya has "dark skin." Ages 12–up.

Great book
I read “instant karma” which shares the characters but has a different storyline and is focusing on a different character. AMAZING ✨✨
