Sarah Mlynowski started writing books when she was three years old. Kind of. She would tell them and her mom would transcribe them. They were all about Princesses named Sarah. After learning to use her own pencil, she continued scribbling stories throughout elementary and high school, and studied English literature in college.When she was twenty-four she published her first chick lit novel, Milkrun. Since then she has written five novels for teens, four additional novels for adults, co-written a guide to writing chick lit (See Jane Write), co-edited two bestselling charity collections, and contributed to various anthologies. Originally from Montreal, Sarah now lives in Manhattan.
Devi is a senior in high school who regrets having given the last four years to her high school boyfriend, Bryan, who breaks up with her right before the prom. Distracted by her predicament, Devi accidentally drops her phone in the mall fountain. The result is a magic hotline to her freshman self. Freshman Devi starts taking Senior Devi's advice (study hard, be true to your friends, and whatever you do, don't fall for Bryan), with amusing results. This light take on the theme of regret will enchant every adult who has wished for a do-over, a chance to go back in time and repair past mistakes.-Angelina Benedetti, "35 Going on 13," BookSmack! 9/16/10 (c) Copyright 2010.
