I never thought I'd fall for a character like Devi. But you know what they say - there's a first time for everything. I really loved the characters, the plot, the actions, EVERYTHING. And the premise itself was pretty exciting and original. Calling myself? Cheating on quizzes with the help of your future self? It's a thing that we can only DREAM (or have nightmares!) of. This book was amazing and I have no complaints.

This book was hilarious and adorable.

I love Sarah M. I've read the Magic in Manhattan series and a few of her chick lit books. This book was great. The main character/characters were really funny. The plot kept me flipping the pages and wanting to know how everything would turn out.

Didn't mind this, although the older character was really shrill and annoying.

Interesting idea, although for a book so centered on technological gadgets, I found it a bit weird that the older version of the character thought to herself 'gee, where can I find a central store of information about people I know... I'll dig up old yearbooks!' Really? the first thought wouldn't be Facebook?

I liked the younger character, although I wished she'd stood up for herself a bit more, and I wish I had a comment for her friends, but we really didn't see enough of them to make a call either way.

Why is it so addictive it's my most re read book ever❤️

I really liked this book, but I felt as if Devi kind of overreacted about the breakup with Bryan. I mean, he was moving, for Pete's sake. She got mad at him for that? Has she not heard the saying "If you love something, let it go, and of it doesn't come back, it was never yours in the first place?" I mean, seriously. I found the plot to be enjoyable, but Devi was kind of weird.

This is a book I still remember even though I read it 4 years ago. It is just a fun and cute book! Definitely recommend this book to teen girls! (And other people who like fantasy/romantic books :p) This book is certainly still on my list of favorites!

First book read in 2012! Not bad.

I had fun getting to know Devi─both from the past and present. While the younger her is more lively, innocent and caring, the older Devi is more mature, tough (emotionally) and selfish (although still caring). It shows how different they are with and without their friends─and boyfriend.

I also like the concept of getting a second chance─by calling your younger self!─to fix your life. Although I still don't get how it's possible to do so─magic? luck? wish came true? gift from God?─by just dropping your phone in the chlorine-filled fountain.

I think the main purpose of the book is to tell the readers that whatever thing you do now─big or small─it will, in one way or another, affect your future, with or without you noticing it. So basically it's saying to 'think real carefully before you act'. If that is the purpose, then point taken.

Gimme a Call has an original and fun concept─audio time travel, knowing your test marks, future college, your date to prom and your life─it will keep you entertained the whole time. Overall, I enjoyed the book and will look forward to more similar books like this one.

Have you ever wished you could go back and do things differently? Maybe tell a younger "you" who to be friends with, who not to date or what fashion trends to skip altogether? I know I HAVE! I've said many times that I if I could have the chance to talk to my teenage self again I would in a heartbeat!

Devi Banks is almost through her Senior Year of High School and is having quite possibly the worst day of her life when the she accidentally drops her cell phone in a fountain at the mall. After retrieving it she discovers that it still works (thank goodness!) but there's a problem...no matter what button she pushes, she keeps getting the same girl who claims to be her, Devi Banks. What. Is. Happening?!

Devi (the first one) quickly realizes that right before her cell phone fell into the fountain, she "wished" there was way she could talk to her Freshman self - tell her how not to screw up her life to the point that it is now in her Senior year. She figures out that when she uses her phone, she's actually calling herself, her younger, 14 year old self! Her wish has come true! She now has the chance to go back and change her life, that is, if she can convince herself, her Freshman self, that she's, they're not crazy and that she (Freshman Devi) is actually talking to herself from the future. Confused yet?

Once they figure out that they are the same "Devi" they get to work on "their" life. The first problem to fix? Bryan. (world peace can wait) Bryan is Devi's boyfriend who by Senior year has broken her heart. We don't know exactly what's happened but we do know that they meet at a party Freshman year, one that Freshman Devi, or "Frosh" as she decides to go by (to make it easier to keep track of whose who) is on her way to the day of the cell phone disaster. We also know that by Senior Year, Devi has no girlfriends, her family life is struggling and her plans for college look grim. Basically, she's staked her whole High School life around Bryan and now she's all alone.

The story progresses and is filled with hilarious conversations between Devi and Frosh as they continue to make changes in the past that have immediate effects in the future. Some of these changes are positive and don't just affect Devi and some of the changes aren't exactly what she was hoping for. (One decision Frosh makes takes Devi from a normal teenager one minute, to a spiky, pink haired, delinquent in a heartbeat!) The one thing that remains a constant throughout are her memories, especially the ones of she and Bryan. No matter how hard she tries to change her past, to rearrange it so he's not a part of her life, he still manages to play a key role. There are some pleasant surprises and Frosh makes better choices than Devi does the first time around even if it's not what she wants her to do.

One of the things that makes this story so enjoyable is that the characters are one in the same so when they are arguing, they are doing so with themselves. I found myself wondering what my conversations with my 14 year old self would sound like and I couldn't help laughing. There is a part of me that really would like the chance to talk to a younger version of myself and make some changes but only if I could have an "out", a way to keep things as the are now if I didn't like how they turned out. If I ever get the urge, maybe I'll just go looking for a fountain, make a wish and instead of dropping a nickel, I'll drop my cell phone instead. :)

3.5--cute!
