If you’ve ever wanted to change your life, this is the book for you. If you’ve ever wished you could go back in time, prevent a mistake, or just start over, this is also the book for you. High School senior Devi gets exactly what she wishes for when her cell phone drops in the fountain at the mall and she suddenly finds herself unable to call anyone but her former self. But it’s perfect, really, because the end of Devi’s high school career is hardly what she’d imagined it would be. She’s just been dumped by her long-time boyfriend, and next year’s college destination = totally lame. But now! Now with access to her freshman-year self, Devi can change all that. She can get exactly what she wants … Or can she? Sarah Mlynowski’s Gimme a Call offers a hilarious yet surprisingly poignant look at the choices we make and their intended—and unintended—consequences.
