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?

Such a inspiring and important story to listen

I've just finished listening to this and OH MY GOD! This is such an important to read/listen. Remember people, everyone is innocent until proven guilty!

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.

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

Unexpected ending

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

A well-written, important story

Brilliant narration and riveting story line. I love how it delved into different perspectives of the characters. Overall a great book, and I’d 100% recommend.

I was hooked straight away

The story is so compelling, as are the characters. They’re relatable, complicated and human in a way that can be difficult to do in a book that’s more story driven. The story is really contemporary, dealing with the world of the internet, post Me Too, and gender politics. I like how well it humanised so many conflicting perspectives. Can’t wait to see it adapted on screen!

Amazing all-round.

Absolutely love this. Unputdownable. I finished it in two days and probably the fastest I’ve finished a book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Truth to power

I listened for a group - it wasn’t my choice. The audible is good and I’m not sure I would bother with the book. Both narrators are excellent. There are a few pot holes and it’s unbelievable at times, but very important themes. I listened as the Russell Brand story evolved so it was highly relevant. There is an excellent interview with the author at the end who is a fellow Croydonite.
