Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is marrying the love her life in one month’s time. Young beautiful and successful, she and her fiancé Michael Koranteng are the couple’s goals of their social networks. And as Michael has finally landed the jobs of his dreams, the pair truly seem to have it all. 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, circulated in secret to protect other women. 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?
MY REVIEW
I can’t believe The List is a first novel by Yomi Adegoke. This one novel I highly recommend as it has a very different marriage problem.
I love reading problems before a couple get married.
I was hooked into The List for a couple about to get married in one months time.
With what should be Ola and Michael’s happiest time preparing their wedding plans, has now turned into chaos.
What started out as Google Doc, it’s then appeared on Twitter a list of women accusing Michael of an assault, harassment, and with someone saying they have a restraining order against him.
It’s really scary for Ola, seeing the list of all allegations against the man of her dreams whom she is marrying.
Ola who works on Womxxn magazine gives Michael a month to prove that he innocence over all of the accusations.
Ola works for Womxxn Magazine, where normally this type of story she would write about, but with her future husband being on The List she can’t, so instead she hires a private investigator to have Michael followed.
Michael has just started the job of his dreams, but when the boss finds out about The List she has to let Michael go. I was so wrapped into this story to find out if Ola and Michael get married.
