Here I Go Again by Jen Lancaster.
Another unlikable heroine, this time named Lissy Ryder, attends her 20th high school reunion only to realize that nobody there likes her, even though she was the queen bee in high school. Deva is featured again in this book, this time providing a time traveling elixir that lets Lissy go back to high school and "get it right" this time.
While I am not a fan of fantasy, I did enjoy the theme of one action creating ripples throughout the world (the butterfly effect) and the pondering Lissy does about does the butterfly still have a right to fly despite the devastation its wings may cause.
4 stars.

Book #34 in 2015
Twisted Sisters by Jen Lancaster.
Reagan Bishop can only find fault in her sisters and never herself, until she engages in a body swap with the help of her mystic friend, Deva.
At first, I really disliked the protagonist, but she kind of grew on me. The whole body swapping thing demands reality be overlooked, but after that, it was kind of fun.
