Description

Memento gets a Millennial makeover by debut author Sam Tschida in this smart and edgy comedy about a Kardashians-obsessed woman who wakes up in a Los Angeles hospital with amnesia, a torn party dress, and a broken iPhone. She must work backward, using her Instagram account, to piece together her identity, only to discover that her life is a perfect lie.

"A wild ride . . . with endless turns and a happily-ever-after ending fit for a Friday night, feel-good rom-com movie." - USA Today

A Los Angeles woman with amnesia uses her Instagram account to piece together her true identity in this irreverent and whip-smart mystery rom-com about finding yourself in the age of social media.

The only thing worse than losing your memory? Finding out who you really are . . .

Mia might look like a millennial, but she was born yesterday. Emerging from a coma with short-term amnesia after an accident, Mia can't remember her own name until the Siri assistant on her iPhone provides it. Based on her cool hairstyle (undercut with glamorous waves), dress (Prada), and signature lipstick (Chanel), she senses she's wealthy. The only way to know for sure is to retrace her steps once she leaves the hospital.

Using Instagram and Uber, she arrives at the pink duplex she calls home in her posts but finds Max, a cute, off-duty postdoc supplementing his income with a house-sitting gig. He tells her the house belongs to JP, a billionaire with a chocolate empire. A few texts later, JP confirms her wildest dreams—they're in love, Mia is living the good life, and he'll be back that weekend.

But as Mia and Max work backward through her Instagram and across Los Angeles to learn more about her, they discover an ugly truth behind her perfect Instagram feed, and evidence that her head wound was no accident. Did Mia have it coming? And if so, is it too late for her to rewrite her story?

Perfectly of the moment and laugh-out-loud funny, this big-hearted rom-com will make you believe it's never too late to become who you really are.
