“This book really makes you look at life, and Karma to be exact, in different way. It shows the readers the negative and positive sides of Karma, and explains that it does what it does on its own time! Jessica Brody creates a fun, entertaining, story about Karma (which is not to be messed with)! This book will make you laugh and will make your day as well, not to mention, is definitely worth the read.”
