The List by Yomi Adegoke
£12
The List is the book of the summer. The debut novel from podcaster and journalist Yomi Adegoke was an instant Sunday Times bestseller and has already been snapped up for a TV adaptation with Adegoke as executive producer. It tells the story of Ola and Michael, a young, Insta-famous Black couple who are soon to be married, in the days following the publication of the List, a roll call of men working in the UK media who have been identified as sexual abusers and predators. Not surprisingly, the List goes viral. As a feminist journalist, Ola would usually be the first to support such an exposé — except this time, Michael’s name is on it. Cleverly plotted with complex main characters, The List deftly explores the dark side of social media, online influencers and cancel culture. Described by Paula Hawkins as ‘impossible to put down’, it is essential summer reading. Add to basket now.
