Jessica Brody was already a published author when she decided to write a novel specifically for a young adult audience.

Being far beyond the age demographic of her much, much, much younger readers, I confess that I’ve not read any of Jessica’s books. But if this good advice from that first novel for young adults is typical, I might just have to pretend I’m sweet 16 again and pick it up:

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can’t get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don’t care who you are. What goes around comes around. That’s how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.”

– Jessica Brody “The Karma Club”

There are far too many people on this Earth who obviously don’t believe — or don’t care — that karma, or fate, or whatever you believe in will come after them eventually. But if Jessica Brody is right, then there may be hope for the world.

Just sayin’ . . .
