The List by Yomi Adegoke
Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.

Didn't like the characters, didn't like their behaviours. Don't think it did the #MeToo movement any favours at all. Barely understandable in places with the slang and text speak, and boring the rest of the time. A potentially good concept but just an awful book.
