"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. |

I feel like the premise of this was really cute, but the execution wasn’t great. It kept getting weirder and weirder, and I just couldn’t buy it. I mean - do hospitals really release people who have amnesia to Uber drivers? I’d pass. Thanks to @NetGalley and Quirk Books for my ARC! |

I absolutely adored the idea of this story- a woman waking up in the hospital after a head injury leaves her with amnesia and nothing but a phone and nearly empty purse. Siri can offer only Mia's first name, and from there she uses Instagram to try to piece together the rest of her life before the accident. But things do not entirely add up. Could someone be out to get Mia, who didn't want her to survive the accident? And what if she discovers she doesn't entirely like the person she was? Is this a chance to start over? This book was fun and light while giving some chance to reflect and think in perfect balance. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. |

This book is great! Would definitely recommend. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. |

In this unique novel, an influencer has amnesia and must piece her life back together using her social media accounts. Are the accounts true, or is she caught in the trap of a life on social media & then a completely different life in real life? |

I loved the premise of this book having a character having to piece their life together from just the information they can find on a smartphone that may or may not be theirs. There’s a bit of crime solving and a few twists that I didn’t see coming, that made this book fun to read. What I liked most about Siri, Who am I? was the character progression that Mia, the main character, goes through over the course of the book. We learn things about Mia at the same times she does and because of that I think readers can relate to her. Mian’s situation is different than most, but the moments of uncertainty or having to confront an ugly truth are experiences most of us have gone through at some point. And having those experiences mirrored in this book makes Mia more relatable. The other cast of characters are also interesting and while not nearly as relatable as Mia, they still make quiet the impression. Max and JP are polar opposites and watching Mia try to choose between them isn’t as awful as I was expecting. I’m never a fan of ‘love triangles’ or when characters have to choose between two very different people for seemingly superficial reasons. But Sam Tschida, the author, does a good job of focusing on how Mian’s choice between Max and JP is about more than just who she thinks she loves. It’s very personal and much more about finding out what kind of person she wants to be, rather than actually choosing between the two men. There’s not much I didn’t like about this book. The pacing was a little off, going to fast and then slowing way down, but overall the writing was good and the plot is interesting enough to keep readers engaged even when the book slows down. I’d recommend this book for readers who like romances with a bit of mystery thrown in or for anyone just looking for a fun book to read. |

Thank you for the opportunity to read this title. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to get into it. To be honest, the numerous hastags and footnotes became really annoying and I found It unbelievable an amnesiac would be released from a hospital without any knowledge of who she was or where she lived or without a person to help her. I didn't get much farther than that. Since I didn't get far, I will not be posting a review on Goodreads so as not to skew the rating. Thanks so much! |

This book is so fluffy that it kept floating off my lap. It is also quirky, and funny, and a bit of a mystery. It's really 3-1/2 stars but I kept reading all the way to the end just to see who the heck Mia really was. |

This book was an amazing read and one that I would read again and again. I would recommend this book to anyone that asks me about it. |
