Summary

The instant Sunday Times bestselling debut novel

This audiobook contains an exclusive Q&A between Sheila Atim and the author.

ONLINE RUMOURS. REAL LIFE TROUBLE.

Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist, is marrying the love of her life in one month's time. Young, beautiful, successful – she and her fiancé Michael 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 made her name breaking exactly this type of story. She would usually be the first to cover it, calling for the men to be fired. Except today, Michael’s name is on there.

With their future on the line, Ola gives Michael an ultimatum to prove his innocence by their wedding day, but will the truth of what happened change everything for both of them?

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!

Honestly felt like the most realistic story I’ve read (listened to) in a long time. Truly feels like a situation me and my friends could be in. The relationships felt so authentic and the writing was style was so consistent. 10/10

One of the best produced audiobook I've read

Love that the book has multiple narrators and includes a Q&A with the author at the end. It's definitely an easy read. It is difficult to put down. There's something that is quite simple about the writing style and if you prefer your books more layered with intertwining themes, you may not get it here but I wish more audiobooks were as well produced as this.

Unexpected ending

I liked the characters - all believable. I didn’t like the pace; at times it felt slow.

Thought provoking

I really enjoyed this audiobook, a multi-faceted and very engaging keyhole into the complexities of social-media, and its pitfalls. I would definitely like to read / listen to more from Yomi Adegoke. The narration was really great in the audiobook, also a key aspect for me.

So nuanced, well rounded, critical and conflicting. So well done!

Provoked so many feelings and conflicts and shows so many sides and nuances to a topic.

Gripping and thought-provoking

I loved this book and initially did not think I would be interested.. but it was a fantastic book to listen to. I really enjoyed the two perspectives, and as wild as it was, the ending was unexpected. However, I could imagine that happening in reality
