I will admit that, in the beginning, I did not like this book. There was something about the narration, the tone, that just really turned me off. Lately, the books I have been reading have been lighter, a little less impacting, a little less serious. This is great, at times, but, as I made my way through the first few chapters, I considered putting this book down quite a few times. I am so glad that I didn't stop reading this book.Gimme A Call is about Devi Banks. A senior in high school, Devi's...

I think that the concept of this book is fantastic. I always wonder about the impact of a simple choice, so books about the different lives a person could be living because of some decisions they make are must-reads for me. This one is different from everything else I've read, so I was really interested about it and I wasn't disappointed.I loved how the younger and the older Devi felt like two different people - which they are, in a way. They're the same person, but their life experience makes t...

And her phone.But after accidentally dropping it in a mall fountain, Devi's phone appears to be on the fritz. It keeps calling the same number over and over: hers, four years earlier.

Ha! What a fun read.Did you ever want to change your own past? What would you do if you could talk to yourself when you were younger? What would you tell yourself? What would it change?For Devi, apparently, it would change a helluva lot!I really just loved the concept to Gimme a Call. How many times did I wish I could creep back into my own past and tweak a few things to make things be different for my future? But like Devi (& Ivy) the consequences to change ones past always come with a price. P...

What advice would you give your younger self? If you got advice from your older self, would you listen?This was so addicting; I couldn’t bear to wait to see what happened next. It’s a little funny and a little horrifying. The suspense is constant and tantalizing. It was literally impossible to put down at times.It’s a light, quick read but don’t be fooled into thinking this is fluffy and thoughtless. Every character and situation has a purpose, and it was all meticulously thought out and put tog...

The story is about Devi, or Devorah, whose life is in a mishap, no friends, worried about college, and worst of all, a boyfriend who just left her. Her cellphone accidentally fell in a wishing fountain, just as she wished she could talk to her younger self, just to re-do everything in her life. Imagine her surprise when her younger self does answer her almost-dead phone, and even more surprising to find out that everything that her former self does differently in the past, changes the future, or...

I liked this book because it was about a new topic: talking with the future or past you. Highschool senior, Devi, accidentally calls her self as a freahman. She decides to completely change her life after a bad breakup...sometimes it's not good to meddle in people's lives, even if it is yours.

Gimme a Call by Mlynowski was a GREAT read that was a ton of fun! I enjoyed the book from cover to cover and could not have asked for a better plot and ending. The storyline is unique, the characters are very well developed, and as you read the book, you wonder… How is this going to resolve itself? Well, Sarah was clever and spot on with her perfect conclusion. I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a break from paranorm, but still want to have some fun with a bit of suspended realit...

After 17 year old Devi drops her phone in the mall fountain, she is amazed that it still works......sort of. The only person she can call is herself -- at age 14! After the initial shock wears off, she has a great idea -- fix all the things wrong with her life. After all, since her boyfriend just broke up with her and none of her friends from freshman year are speaking to her, what if she NEVER even went out with him in the first place? What if she can prevent her best friend from becoming anore...

YA Teens only!I believe this book would appeal to teens, although I found it a fairly tense read with older Devi putting so much pressure on younger Devi (view spoiler)[to excel in school in order to get a scholarship to an Ivy League university. (hide spoiler)] Devi is too hung-up on a boy to make the book interesting to adults. As an adult reading this, I would give it only 2 stars, but I came up to 3 since I'm obviously not the target audience.Clean read, suitable to middle grade and up.

Gimme a Call has been staring at me from my bookshelf for quite some time. I bought it because I loved Ten Things We Did and because that’s probably one of my favorite covers ever. So when I found myself in the mood for something fun and fast I knew I had to pick up Gimme a Call. It did not disappoint.Devi’s heart is broken and she wishes that she could go back in time and make different decisions. After a clumsy accident involving a cell phone and a mall fountain Devi’s phone will only call her...

That ending was really cute. This was an easy, fast-paced read that kept me turning the pages even when the MC began to annoy me (both the older and younger versions, lol). But I enjoyed the writing, and the story, and the concept was executed very well.3 stars.

Wow this book was so good!! Not what I expected at all it gave me chills

3.5 stars. This was a fun YA that gets you thinking about time travel and messing with the way things go. For the audience, I think it would be really cool. As an adult who has read a decent amount of this genre, it didn't do anything spectacular and it was pretty basic, but entertaining for the most part! The book did get pretty repetitive but it was so short it didn't get too bothersome. This book about is Devi. Shes a senior in high school and gets broken up with by her boyfriend and has her

This book had a similar premise of “The Future of Us” by Jay Asher. Another thing they had in common? Great idea with boring execution. Maybe I wasn’t fair to Jay Asher when I wrote that review. Maybe it’s just really hard to write a “past self, future self” story. Because I always liked Sarah Mlynowski’s adult books. Disappointed overall.

4/5starsI weirdly really enjoyed this?? This does NOT seem like a book I would like, but with my friend's high praise and how she got me it for my bday, I had to give it a try - and was pleasantly surprised! I'm honestly shocked I haven't seen this trope done more often since this and "Orange" are the only ones I've read so far - but this whole "older/younger self manages to contact older/younger self to warn them about the future/make things different in the past" is FASCINATING to me!I also ad...

The book I chose is called Gimme a Call. It was about a girl named Devi that was having a rough time in her life. Once she drops her old cell phone into a fountain her life begins to become much better. Once she retrieves it out of the fountain, she realizes she can only call one number on the phone... She can only call her number in perticular, three years ago, at age 14. Now that Devi can talk to herself at a younger age, she can turn her whole life around and go to a great college, not get he...

Actual rating: 3.5High school senior, Devi Banks, has never really had a great life. Her family barely has any money, her GPA is below average, and she has no friends. So when the only good part of her life, her boyfriend Bryan, breaks up with her, she's left with pretty much nothing, other than loneliness and heartbreak. One day, she wakes up, and she finds that her phone can now only call one number, and that number is herself...as a freshman, before she lost her friends and, most importantly,...

4.5/5 (B+)What I liked? I really, really enjoyed Gimme a Call. I pretty much enjoyed everything about it and it kept me engrossed till the end. I thought both the younger and older Devi were likable characters :) Yes, the older Devi was a bit pushy and selfish at times, but when you have the opportunity to change your future for the best, you take it... And it didn't only benefit her, it benefited the younger Devi as well. What I liked in this "relationship" is that the younger Devi wasn't just
