The List: A Novel Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK!
Recommended by The New York TimesVoguePeople NPR Vulture The GuardianCosmopolitanRolling Stone Publishers Weekly The Sunday Times and many more!
In this sensational, thrilling debut novel, a high-profile female journalist’s world is upended when her fiancé’s 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 authorYomi Adegoke.
“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
Ola Olajide, a celebrated journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is set to marry the love of her life in one month’s time. 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 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—she’d retweet it, call for the men to be fired, write article after article. Except this time, Michael’s name is on it.
Compulsively enjoyable, 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 Adegoke’s 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

That said, the concept is a clever and timely one, and I applaud Yoni Adegoke for tackling it. The idea of a list that publicly damns those named without evidence or trial is compelling in an era of cancel culture and aggressive online activism. But the balance of toxic masculinity and wedding planning felt uncomfortable and over-filtered.
For me, this was classic case of style over content, but as other reviewers have said, it also comes across as a book aimed at a young, TikTok target market and it clearly fulfils that brief very well. It just doesn’t translate to a broader audience.
I’m afraid bailed early, just skipping to the end to get the answers.
