Chain Reaction
This book is all about chain reactions in Devi's life so I thought it would be appropriate to do a domino effect but with people.

Butterfly Effect
The butterfly effect is when you do something that will effect something else in the future. Which happens to Devi in Gimme a Call.

Gimme a Call By Sarah Mylnowski
Devi is talking to herself three years ago on the phone after her phone fell in the mall fountain. By having this ability any mistakes she made since then she can change, shaping the future she wants. Like not being heartbroken about when her boyfriend dumps her and actually having time for her friends. ‘“ You could put a little more effort into your grades now that Bryan isn’t around.” “Listen, I have to go.” I don’t want to spend the next hour being lectured about all the ways I’m screwing up my future. Especially, since I’m fixing it all on my own. (pg 35)’ So her younger self not doing something will be changing Devi’s life. But accidental butterfly effects could shape her future in a way that might not suite her best.

Introducing Friends
Ever since 2014 when I met my best friend, Tianna, along with introduced her to my other friend, Carly. They have seemed to change based on the others influences. Some good and some bad changes. Like Tianna and I getting in silly fights, and Carly being more sensitive to anything I say. Meaning they seem to change with new people involved in their life.
