What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

What would you change?

Gimme a Call asks a question that I think all of us have pondered at one point or another. If you could go back and change your past, what you would change? What would you do differently?
I have thought about this so much and though I have been through some trying times in my life, I keep coming back to the realization if you changed one thing in the past, it would compromise everything about the present. Therefore, I wouldn't change a thing.
That's the idea here. Devi is a high school senior at the end of her high school career. Her phone falls into a fountain at the mall. Devi's phone doesn't work at all, except....when she hits send, she calls herself! Only it is herself in September of her sophomore year. After getting over the initial disbelief and shock, Older Devi starts telling Younger Devi all of the stuff she needs to do and avoid to make her life better.
This books is both fun, fun, fun and thought-provoking. It was a total accident that I read it- I won a copy- autographed and everything- from randombuzzers.com. I can't wait to read another book by Sarah Mlynowski.
