Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is marrying the love of her life in one month's time. 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?’

I was really heartbroken that I couldn’t engage with this book. Personally it felt like a betrayal, it started as a promising take on the #metoo movement and ended up as lame story about cancel culture and the impact of the accusations on men. It definitely reads as a debut novel, it would have benefited so much from tight editing.
I listened as an audiobook and the narration was excellent, super engaging and really kept me going at moments when I wanted to DNF it.
