The List [Audiobook]

Description

The List was phenomenal. Brilliantly written, intricately plotted and incredibly clever. Once I started, I could not put it down, and I am sure Ill be thinking about this book for a very long time. -- Abi Dare, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice In this sensational, page-turning debut novel, a high-profile female journalists world is upended when her fiances name turns up in a viral social media post--a nuanced, daring, and timely exploration of the real-world impact of online life, from award-winning journalist and internationally bestselling author Yomi Adegoke. Ola Olajide, a celebrated journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is set to marry the love of her life in one months time. Young, beautiful, and successful--she and her fiance 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 crowdsourced collection of names and somehow morphed into an anonymous account posting allegations on social media. Ola would usually be the first to support such a list--shed retweet it, call for the men to be fired, write article after article. Except this time, Michaels name is on it. 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. Perfect for fans of Such a Fun Age, Luster, and My Dark Vanessa, this is a searing portrait of these modern times and our morally complicated online culture. Topical, heartfelt, provocative and wise, Yomi Adegokes 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
