Devi is a high school senior, looking forward to college. At least, she was, until Bryan - her boyfriend of three years - broke up with her and she realizes that her whole life was planned with him in mind. While at the mall, Devi accidentally drops her phone in the fountain and suddenly it only dials one number: fourteen-year-old, freshman Devi. Once they get over the shock, senior Devi realizes that she has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reorganize her life the way she wants it, if only she can convince her younger self to go along with the plan. But as her world literally changes around her, Devi starts to wonder what she actually wants, and what she's willing to do to get it.
I really enjoyed this story, which was an nice twist on the classic idea of "what you would tell yourself if you could go back in time." The way that the author handled the time distortion was interesting, since "senior" Devi could witness the changes, but hadn't experienced the time in between "freshman" Devi's actions and her reality. Overall, I liked the characters and found them very realistic, and I thought that (aside from the magical temporal paradox), the situations were also extremely realistic. So far as I know, this is a stand-alone book, and it had a fairly satisfying ending. I would recommend this book to fantasy fans who enjoy magic that happens in the real world.
