I received an Advances Reader Copy from the publisher as an employee at Page 2 Books in Burien, WA.
This was a fun read, part rom-com and part mystery. A twenty-something trying to figure out who she is (literally and figuratively) and what to do with her life.
She wakes up in the hospital with severe memory loss and retraces her steps via instagram account to find out who she is. An endearing nerdy brain scientist helps her along the way and she meets some other interesting characters as well.
I enjoyed it but found it unbelievable at times.

This was super fun! It was light and fluffy and entertaining—a great escapist read. I feel like it got too much hate in the reviews because while this isn’t a deep or serious novel, it isn’t trying to be. It delivers exactly as promised: a kind of ridiculous and highly entertaining romp through LA via Instagram.

I got a big kick out of "Siri, Who Am I?" Enjoyed the humor, wisecracks, and callbacks, all the hashtagged jokes, and whatnot. I liked the #RealMia who emerged throughout this part-chick-lit, part-mystery, part-romance, and I especially liked that the #romance part wasn't rushed or overly romanticized--the story ended on what I thought was a #real and promising note. There were some surprises for me, too, in that the person I thought would be the Big Bad *wasn't* (#RedHerring), and the person who technically set the story in motion was someone I least expected (but probably other readers saw it coming from miles away). Maybe a few developments weren't #realistic but if I wanted #realism I'd've read non-fiction instead (which I don't, so I didn't). All in all, I had a good time with this book, didn't want to put it down, and am a bit sad to be done with it. More from Ms. Tschida, please!

I picked up this book because it sounded like a "good" time. When I say this I mean "funny". I did not laugh once while reading this book. This is unfortunate. There is something about this book that could have been something.
One of the issues is that I found Mia to be boring. There was nothing intriguing about her or her supposed life. However, Max was cool. I found him to be likable. I read the first half of this book in a really fast fashion and than put it down and walked away from it for a while. When I did pick this book back up; my feelings towards it did not change. In fact, I found myself sort of skimming through the last half of the book. Sadly, Siri could not have helped save this book.

DNF at 60%. Couldn't stand the main character or the stupid choices she makes. I can't bring myself to read any further.
A note on release dates: When I received this ARC, the release date was listed as May 2020, which is why I started reading the book now. It looks as though the release has now been pushed back until January 2021, which is why this seems to be such an early review.

Loved Mia’s narration and the use of footnotes to track her meandering thoughts. This was a like if Cher Horowitz forgot everything and had to solve a mystery.
Goes places i never would’ve expected.
