"#MeToo comes with a sting in its tail in Yomi Adegoke's punchy first novel ... Adegoke poses pertinent questions as she considers the real-life harms of online witch hunts"  The Times, Book of the Year 2023

"A topical, important and probing novel that thrashes out the moral issues around social media outrage and personal culpability. Adegoke captures an impressive array of voices and vernaculars with such supple verisimilitude, it feels as if her vividly realised characters are in the room with you." Bernadine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other
