Gimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski
4.0
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.
