I read 10 Things We Did last summer and I loved it. It was quirky and fun and made me laugh out loud. When I saw this book at the library I was hoping for something just as fun and quirky from Mlynowski. I have to admit that while I enjoyed this book, it was a bit disappointing and lackluster for me.
The book is about a girl named Devi who has just been heartbroken. She drops her phone in a fountain and as a result something magical happens. Now the phone can only be used to call one person: herself in freshman year. Devi decides to use this to her advantage and tells her younger self to work harder (to get into a better university) and to stay away from her ex (so she won't have her heart broken). In the end shenanigans are had by all.
To me, this book was light and fluffy but I think it was too light and fluffy for my taste. While I enjoy YA, I am almost 30 and I think that this book would be perfect for it's target audience of teenagers. I think that most YA is geared at teens but can also be enjoyed by those that are older but some is best enjoyed while still young.
I still like Mlynowski's writing style and her characters and I still found the book entertaining but I did find that it was a bit too predictable for me. It is also a theme that I have read a lot of.
While this book may not be entirely for me, that is not to say that it wouldn't be enjoyed by others. I give the book 2.5 stars out of 5 but again, it was more than likely just my frame of mind and my age bracket. I would suggest that you read for yourself and decide what you think.
