Not sure how I felt about this one. From the get go, you know it's going to be hard for the author to write a complete story, which way to go, will it be a cliche etc. I felt that the author did a good job of showing the grey and the middle ground reaction and action of the characters. The last chapter was such a random plot twist, not sure how I felt about it

I was conflicted the entire time I read this. The content was unsettling for me. The writing was great but I didn’t find the plot to really grab me.

Really intriguing listen! I was hooked at the beginning, but then didn’t really see how this book was going to carry on for so much longer. And the end? Wow, did the last part really surprise me!

An interesting concept with 3d characters, i do think that the q+a section with the authors and one of the narrators was very good and added a lot of context to the writing

Ola Olajide and Michel are the hot couple right now and they are all over social media. She is a journalist for Womxxxn magazine, he is about to start a new job at a production company called CuRated and they are about to be married.

One morning they wake up to a list on the internet containing anonymous allegations towards several high profile men accusing them of a variety of abuse against women. Michael’s name is on The List.

Ola’s world has been turned upside down. Did he do what they’re accusing him of? Can she trust him? Does she know him at all? So many questions but she is running out of time as the wedding draws near.

This was a very thought-provoking story and I was persistently thinking“What would I do in this situation? My heart broke for Michael in one way as everything was falling around him but in another way, I thought he brought some of it on himself. I felt Ola was so quick to judge him and gave no consideration to what he was going through.

This gave me Caroline Flack vibes with the hatred that was being shown and the intensely horrifying bullying on social media towards the men. Some very sad scenes where Michael felt so lost he just broke down and had no idea what to do or where to turn.

There was another name on the list, a professional footballer, Lewis Hale. He was struggling with who he was and who the public wanted him to be. His story was a sad one and my heart broke for him and his family.

A eye opener story and very apt for the world we are living in today where everything happens on social media.
