The List: A Novel By Yomi Adegoke

"The List" by Yomi Adegoke is a sensational debut novel that has garnered praise from top literary and media sources including The New York Times, Vogue, and NPR. This page-turner explores the powerful intersection of online and real-world lives through the lens of a high-profile journalist.

Ola Olajide, a celebrated journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is set to marry her fiancé, Michael, in one month. As a young, successful couple, they are viewed as the epitome of relationship goals by their social media followers. Their seemingly perfect world shatters when they wake up to a viral post featuring a list of allegations against prominent men—and Michael’s name is on it.

Ola, who would typically champion such lists and call for accountability, now faces a personal and professional crisis. The anonymous account has turned a crowdsourced list into a platform for accusations, and Michael’s inclusion on it challenges Ola’s beliefs and loyalty.

The novel is a gripping and insightful examination of the impact of online life on personal relationships and reputations. Filled with sharp social commentary and an engaging plot, "The List" delves into themes of secrecy, morality, and the complexities of modern digital culture. It’s a compelling read for fans of "Such a Fun Age," "Luster," and "My Dark Vanessa," offering a searing portrayal of contemporary issues and online influence.

Bernardine Evaristo praises the book as "topical, heartfelt, provocative, and wise," while Charmaine Wilkerson calls it a "vibrantly told exploration" of virtual and offline relationships. 📚❤️
