    Summary
    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, 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 it all. 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 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

    The list is a prime example of what extreme measures one would do when they're jealous. Ola and Micheal were the "it" couple. UK social media crowned them "Black Couples Goal" because they seem to have it all. Ola a known journalist, got a lead on "The List," not knowing her fiance was listed on it. Granted, his name was spelled wrong, but could it be her Micheal, and if so, should she go through with the wedding because of it's allegations. And with all the money spent, their family in Africa, and the world awaiting the photos, Ola is stuck. She doesn't know whether to stand by her man or cancel it all. Toake matters worse. One of her best friends is assaulted/raped by one of the men on the list. Online culture, Black/African culture, women's solidarity, love, jealousy, forgiveness, and so much are highlighted throughout this book. I truly enjoyed it. I wish for a follow-up of Micheal and Ola's relationship and careers. #Book5of2024 #Bookworm #Whatsnext
