The concept of this book was so interesting and definitely left me reflecting on how curated social media allows us to curate a specific image of our lives. 

This story follows Mia, who wakes up in the hospital with a head trauma and amnesia. She has no idea how she got her head injury or who may have caused it -- but she also can’t remember her name, birthday, where she lives, or if she has any family whatsoever. All she has is a phone that unlocks thanks to facial recognition. What follows is part satire on social media, part mystery as Mia traces her life through her social media trying to figure out what happened to her, but also who she is and how what is portrayed online is not always as it seems.
 
I liked the book, but some of the dialogue and the internal dialogue of Mia just wasn’t my jam, but the story overall propelled me through.
