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 list of anonymous allegations about abusive men. Now it has been published online. Ola would usually be the first to support such a list--she'd call for the men to be fired, write article after article. Except this time, Michael's name is on it. With one month to the wedding, Ola gives Michael an ultimatum: prove his innocence or the wedding's off. But will the truth of what happened change everything for them both? Compulsively readable, wildly entertaining, and filled with sharp social insight, The List is a piercing and dazzlingly clear-sighted debut about secrets, lies, and the internet.
