Gimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski

A fun concept for a book that was pretty well executed. Having the two main characters be the same character made for an interesting look at how we change through time, especially the formative high school years. The constant changes in Ivy's life kept the story fresh and kept me reading to see how one thing would affect another. Even though the lottery idea didn't work out, I really wanted them to play again, but this time only go for a small jackpot that would be enough to pay for college and that's it.
I found Ivy to be too bossy and rather slow to catch on when something changed in her life. I can understand having trouble adjusting, but she kept questioning other people about a change that of course they didn't experience. I think she would quickly learn to keep her mouth shut until she could figure out what changed. Still those moments were not too often and overall I enjoyed the book.
