Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Time , The Washington Post , Harper's Bazaar , Entertainment Weekly , Marie Claire , Bustle , BuzzFeed , Parade , Goodreads , Fortune , and BBC "Riveting, fearless, and vividly original." --Emily St. John Mandel, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Hotel "A brilliant combustion of suspense, horror, and social commentary that leaves no assumption unchallenged and no page unturned." --Walter Mosley, internationally bestselling author of Devil in a Blue Dress Urgent, propulsive, and sharp as a knife, The Other Black Girl is an electric debut about the tension that unfurls when two young Black women meet against the starkly white backdrop of New York City book publishing. 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 microaggressions, she's thrilled when Harlem-born and bred 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 elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust. 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 realizes that there's a lot more at stake than just her career. A whip-smart and dynamic thriller and sly social commentary that is perfect for anyone who has ever felt manipulated, threatened, or overlooked in the workplace, The Other Black Girl will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist.
