What’s it about? What’s the plot?

From Deadline: Described as The Devil Wears Prada meets Get Out, The Other Black Girl “centers on Nella, an African-American editorial assistant working her way up at an established, starkly white NYC publishing firm.

When the new girl, Hazel arrives, Nella couldn’t be more excited to have a black co-worker, but over time Nella’s world is turned upside as she goes from office darling to public enemy number one. Is Hazel a friend or foe? The novel is a darkly comedic take on workplace politics and the importance of female friendship.”

The Other Black Girl was originally published in June 2021.
