The List: A Gripping Contemporary Drama with a Suspenseful Edge, Explore the Dark Side of Online Culture

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.

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.

“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
