A funny, gripping read that had me simultaneously laughing and gasping in shock. I loved this publishing trend that combined amnesia and technology.

My thanks to NetGalley and Quirk Books for an eARC of this book for me to read and review.

I got to page 21 and the TSTL and suspension of disbelief being asked of the reader were too much for me to take and I DNF'd this book, with a quick peek at the back to see if I cared about the ending enough to read the rest of it and the answer was NOPE.

Recommended if you want a story with an amnesia plot line and don't care about the book making ANY sort of sense at all.

Spoilers and warning of assault being mentioned below this point.

MC h wakes up in a hospital. No ID, no money or credit cards, cracked phone and a cracked skull. She came in wearing a tiara, a Prada dress and cape-let, a teeny designer clutch that only held her phone and a designer lipstick and designer heels. She has a strong suspicion that someone tried to kill her. She has the bonk on the back of the head and the blood spatter on her Prada cape-let, as well as no one claiming her or accompanying her to the hospital to back up that suspicion.

Rather than the hospital, oh, I don't know, calling the cops about a Jane Doe they have with a crack on the back of her skull and no memory after she woke up days later from a drug-induced (?) coma, to try to figure out who she is; is she listed as a missing person, does she have fingerprints on the data base, does she have a name and insurance/an address they can bill for holding her for multiple nights, they MAKE HER LEAVE after she wakes up!!! WHAT?!?! On WHAT planet would a hospital let someone LEAVE with both amnesia and NO WAY TO BE CONTACTED FOR BILLING?!?

Then, as she is leaving, she looks at her Prada cape-let with all of the blood and she's like, "Oh ew. Not even sure this is mine and it has my blood on it from when someone tried to kill me, but it's gross so, TO THE TRASH WITH YOU!" She doesn't even KNOW THAT IT IS HERS, she ACKNOWLEDGES that fact and yet she STILL throws it out???!! If I was loaning it to her, I would have been PISSED it was just thrown out. Like, dry clean it and make the ATTEMPT to give it back!! Also, possible EVIDENCE of someone trying to KILL HER. If the cops ever get into the picture, they MIGHT actually CARE about that!

I can see a woman with amnesia making poor decisions, but there is no WAY that a hospital wouldn't have contacted the police about a possibly assaulted Jane Doe. And honestly? I don't know, but if a Jane Doe were admitted unconscious and bleeding from a head wound that could have been foul play, would they have done a rape kit on her? I would think that sexual assault would have been a possibility with that scenario.

Maybe I am overthinking this, my boss at the bookstore says I do that ALL of the time, but I just can't shut my brain off when reading a book that is supposed to take place in current-day America. The one suspension of disbelief pass the author gets is the amnesia and how the MC h goes about trying to regain her memories. Everything else? Better be realistic.

1, I also had a physical copy of this book which I abandoned in the airport and ended up staring at the back of my eyelids for the entire flight, rather than attempt to read this, star.

Siri, Who Am I? by Sam Tschida is a delightful and humorous read that is perfect for fans of lighthearted romance and social media satire, who will enjoy the witty banter, relatable exploration of influencer culture, and the thrilling mystery surrounding Mia's identity and the secrets behind her seemingly perfect online persona.

Interesting idea, great title, but the premise never quite came together for me. I also feel that this book definitely got lost in the pandemic Shuffle

The title, cover, and synopsis drew me in. It sounded like it would be such a fun read. Mia was a little frustrating. I wanted to love this more than I did.

I was so surprised that I loved this book, and can safely say that I've never read another one like this. The main character, Mia, wakes up from a coma in a hospital, with a head injury and amnesia. The hospital practically shoves her out the door (which I found very strange). She only discovers her name by asking the Siri assistant on her cell phone, hence the title. Mia discovers that she has apparently recorded her entire life on Instagram, and begins working her way backward trying to find out little things like where she lives, what she does for a living, if she has friends or a boyfriend, etc.

She finally makes it back to the house of the man who is her boyfriend, only to discover from the house sitter that he is on a trip overseas. The house sitter is a post-doctoral student named Max. She and Max drive all over Los Angeles (with frequent stops for tacos), looking for clues to Mia's life. It turns out that Mia has a foot in two very different worlds.

This one was a great idea, but it didn't quite play out for me. All just seemed a little far-fetched which was a shame.

I missed out on downloading at the time, but have since bought a copy and I'm pleased I did, it was the perfect summer read as a mystery lover this ticked all the boxes with the book beginning with Mia the protagonist, waking up with no memories and beginning to reassemble her life from her mobile and social media posts to try to work out who she is.

"SIri, Who Am I?" was a superficial unraveling mystery that kept me wondering until the end. I had hoped that the main character wasn't going to turn out to be an evil, manipulative person. The ending was not what I expected to be and I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, a good read, but forgettable once you've finished it. I'm wasn't left thinking about the story long after.

This one was a bit much for me. I really loved the premise, but there were some plot holes that made it seem a bit unbelievable. The use of too many hashtags also put me off a bit. I In the positive realm, it was a lot of fun to read and quick to go through!

I thought the idea of this book sounded really interested--a young woman loses her memory and with just the help of her phone pieces it back together. There were some very clever "ideas" on her part--talking her way into a luxury house driving a fancy car, but the fact she stayed in her yellow cocktail dress for days sounded a bit far fetched. I think the author was trying in the end to make a statement for women, but somehow in the romance, the mystery, and the media/technology it just got lost. A decent first attempt, but the book maybe tried to do too much...

The beginning really hooked me in and I was excited to keep going. It was ridiculous and I thought it was what I was looking for at that time. There are a bunch of weird hospital characters and Mia was sorta quirky but not really the endearing kind which is fine because I found it enjoyable. Mia's initial findings on who she is and who she might be was interesting. Then, when she started calling people and you get that feeling that she's not really liked, I felt like oooh yes mystery. Mia also has an extremely rich boyfriend who seems to good to be true. Anyway, I really wanted to know where the story is going and who caused Mia's accident. However, instead of becoming more invested in the story, I started losing interest.
Everything was just so meh and I didn't feel the chemistry. When it got to the part revealing how she lost her memories, the tension was lost so it felt very anticlimactic.

It was still quite a fun read but I don't know...I might have been expecting something more (or different?).

The age old millenial question, and is this the new format for bildungsroman's? Not quite sure, this was not a first purchase

This is a very entertaining book with IRL prose, interesting characters, effective use of technology as opposed to awkward placing of brand names, and a pacing that makes it very hard to put down. The story fits a number of genres so it is easy to promote and can appeal to a large variety of readers.

This book is perfect for fans of movies like 13 Going On 30 & Freaky Friday. There are twists, turns, & enough fun moments that it feels like reading a full blown Rom Com. It's also an incredibly fast read that is perfect for the beach or by the pool and it is one that is easy to share with friends!

Twists and turns are everywhere in this story deeply set in social media and the truth behind every Instagram post. When a woman ends up losing her memory and having to retrace her life through her posts, things get strange and at times, heartbreaking.

It's a classic sassy and quick read where you can't believe everything you see situation, even if what you're seeing is yourself.

All I can say is I'm glad the internet wasn't around when I was in my 20's.

*I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I am a member of the American Library Association Reading List Award Committee. This title was suggested for the 2022 list. It was not nominated for the award.

Interesting idea to reconnect/remember your life using social media posts. Had some funny times and some too close for comfort moments. Overall, a fun read that I would recommend to friends. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

I thought the premise of this book was quite intriguing. It started off ok but quickly became unbelievable. If the patient has amnesia, the hospital wouldn’t just release the patient without someone to care for them. And where were the police? She doesn’t know her name but knows what all the social media platforms are and knows the name of Siri. This was funny in parts but the main character Mia is obnoxious, unlikable and became annoying after a while. To many hashtags for my liking. I understand what the author was trying to do. That everything you see online is not necessarily reality but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I though I would.

Thank you to Quirk Books for this advanced copy.

"Siri, Who Am I?" is one of the few books that I have actually laughed out loud while reading in a VERY long time. It was exactly what I needed to read. Tschida's writing allows the wit, humor, and social commentary to effortlessly blend together into an entertaining story.
