A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK!
Recommended by The New York Times • Vogue • People • NPR • Vulture • The Guardian • Cosmopolitan • Rolling Stone • Publishers Weekly • The Sunday Times • and many more!
In this sensational, page-turning debut novel of domestic suspense, a high-profile female journalist's world is upended when her fiancé's name turns up in a viral social media post.
"Brilliantly written, intricately plotted and incredibly clever. Once I started, I could not put it down, and I am sure I'll be thinking about this book for a very long time." - Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice
Ola Olajide, a celebrated journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is set to marry the love of her life. Young, beautiful, and successful, she and her fiancé, Michael, are considered the "couple goals" of their social network and seem to have the perfect modern love story. That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message: "Oh my god, have you seen The List?"
It began as a list of anonymous allegations about abusive men. Now it has been published online. Ola would usually be the first to support such a list-she'd call for the men to be fired, write article after article. Except this time, Michael's name is on it.
With one month to the wedding, Ola gives Michael an ultimatum: prove his innocence or the wedding's off. But will the truth of what happened change everything for them both?
Compulsively readable, wildly entertaining, and filled with sharp social insight, The List is a piercing and dazzlingly clear-sighted work of Black British fiction and a debut about secrets, lies, and the internet.
"Topical, heartfelt, provocative and wise, Yomi Adegoke's characters are tenderly realized . . . the entire cast of this ultimate millennial novel springs vividly to life." - Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other
"The List asks 'what if?' and the answers will surely get people thinking. A vibrantly told exploration of the messy interface between virtual and offline relationships. A page-turning tale!" - Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake

Cancel culture or trivialization?
Ola is a journalist and works for a feminist magazine. Her Future looks bright: She loves her job and is happy about her engagement and thrilled to get married to her fiancé Michael. But then everything changes: Her Husband to bee's name is published on an anonymous list on the internet with men, who harmed women. Who put Michael’s name on that list and why? This book targets the subject of cancel culture and the question can, or should Ola still marry Michael? I liked the questions and the discourse this book opens. Sadly, the book for me was a little wordy and doesn’t get to the point very quickly. Nonetheless, I recommend this book to people who love to read feminist literature. -

Loved the idea, did not like the execution
Ola and Michael want to marry, but their plans are disrupted when Michael is named in an online list of abusive men. This situation raises important questions about feminism, men, abusive behavior, internet bullying, and more. I loved the idea of the story and was completely engaged in the first few chapters. However, despite the significance of the themes and the discussions surrounding them, the story quickly became boring. There were a lot of repetitions in the plot, and I felt a lack of diverse perspectives. Additionally, the characters weren't really relatable. I loved the concept but was disappointed by the execution.
