The List by Yomi Adegoke

Happy book birthday to THE LIST by Yomi Adegoke
How do we gauge the truth of what we see on social media? What would you do if you saw someone you loved on a list of wrongdoers? This is what Ola must decide and the timing couldn't be worse. She is a journalist at a feminist magazine and used to being a champion of women's rights but now it is personal. Just weeks before she is getting married her fiancé's name comes up on a list of men accused of sexual misconduct on social media. The accusers are not named but the accused are publicly vilified. Now her job, friendships, her social event of the season wedding and her relationship with Michael all come under public scrutiny. Is it true or is someone playing a vindictive and destructive game? Twists and turns will have you moving players from hero to villain back and forth. The scary part of the story is how easily this could happen in a world where social media dominates our lives. Justice needs to be served, victims need to speak out but we should all being careful of being both judge, jury and executioner. 4 stars
