Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris, read by Aja Naomi King, Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Bahni Turpin and Heather Alicia Sims.
A highlight for 2021 from: Guardian, Time, Independent, Evening Standard, BBC, Stylist, Irish Times, i, Harper's Bazaar, Washington Post, Fortune, Entertainment Weekly and The Sun.
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.
A whip-smart and dynamic thriller and sly social commentary, The Other Black Girl will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist.

Intriguing!
I enjoyed this story! The twists and turns were unexpected, and the mix between humour and terror was well done! Did not expect this ending!

Science fiction
I'm not one to usually leave reviews but this is truly a weird book. It's slow with a fantasy style second half that, although unexpected, was a waste of time and money. Wouldn't recommend. Finished it but overall the story was just alright.

Disasapointing
It starts so well; there's no doubt the author is a great writer. The introduction of characters is done beautifully, which made me dive into their lives. I just wished she had used her talents to give us a more interesting story.
The novel has such a stupid and puerile plot twist that it wouldn't surprise me if the author started working on this story while she was at school.

Slow and disjointed
I wanted to love this book but I found it hard to follow the story line and the narrator's voice almost put me to sleep.
