_________________________
Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and the micro-aggressions, she's thrilled when Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They've only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events cause Nella to become Public Enemy Number One and Hazel, the Office Darling.
Then the notes begin to appear on Nella's desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW.
It's hard to believe Hazel is behind these hostile messages. But as Nella starts to spiral and obsess over the sinister forces at play, she soon realises that there is a lot more at stake than her career.
Dark, funny and furiously entertaining, The Other Black Girl will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist.

This book desperately needs an editor
The author spends a good 80% of the book setting up the stage and the characters. Office politics, micro aggressions, race, et all. The plot builds up in the last 30 pages and it almost feels like the author got tired with the set up and didn’t exert as much energy concluding it well. One of the reviews said it’s Get Out meets Devil wears Prada. It’s sooo far from any of it. It’s also got too many POVs which just doesn’t add much. Skip this one
