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.
Zakiya Dalila Harris received her MFA in creative writing from The New School. Her debut novel, The Other Black Girl, was an instant New York Times bestseller and is now a critically acclaimed Hulu Original Series.

A gripping workplace thriller with sharp social commentary (Perfect for Class Analysis!)
Used this book for my Contemporary Literature paper and it proved to be an excellent choice. Zakiya Dalila Harris delivers a fascinating blend of workplace drama and psychological thriller that sparked great classroom discussions about race, identity, and corporate culture. The story follows Nella, a Black editorial assistant at a publishing house, and her complex relationship with Hazel, the titular "other Black girl" who joins the company. What starts as office politics evolves into something far more sinister. The author's own publishing industry experience shines through in the authentic details. From an academic perspective, the book offers rich material for analyzing themes of assimilation, microaggressions, and power dynamics. I particularly appreciated the subtle ways Harris weaves in commentary about Black women's experiences in predominantly white workplaces. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that some plot threads felt a bit unresolved. However, this actually worked in my favor for the paper, as it provided good material for critical analysis. Pros: Complex, well-developed characters Perfect for literary analysis Thought-provoking themes Unique genre blend Cons: Some unresolved plot points Ending might not satisfy everyone Bottom line: Highly recommend for both personal reading and academic analysis. Got an A on my paper and enjoyed every minute of reading it!

Suspense a cada virada de página
The Other Black Girl (A Outra Garota Negra, na edição brasileira) é o romance de estreia da americana Zakiya Dalila Harris. Traz a história de Nella Rogers, uma jovem assistente editorial que trabalha numa prestigiosa editora em Nova York. Ela é a única funcionária negra na empresa. Até que um dia, uma outra assistente negra é contratada. Nella fica contente, por crer que finalmente teria uma aliada naquele mundo branco e opressor. Porém, as coisas não são exatamente o que parecem ser. Com uma prosa envolvente, Zakiya leva o leitor para a toca do coelho, numa trama com plot twists suficientes para nos deixar espantados a cada virada de página, ansiosos por desvendar aquele mistério. O que terá acontecido a Kendra Rae Phillips, a única editora negra a trabalhar naquela empresa, que está desaparecida há tempos? Quem escreve aqueles bilhetes intimidadores que surgem misteriosamente sobre a mesa de Nella? E por que a nova assistente insiste tanto para Nella usar um hidratante capilar que ela mesma fez, e cujos ingredientes não constam na embalagem porque são “uma receita secreta” que veio da mãe de uma amiga de uma amiga de uma amiga? Zakiya Dalila Harris trabalhou numa grande editora em Nova York antes de escrever esse romance. É com precisão de detalhes que ela nos leva por esse mundo que, de maneira geral, é stale, male and pale, e onde a presença de uma mulher negra, o que dirá duas mulheres negras, é motivo para desconfortos, micro agressões e macro agressões. The Other Black Girl usa suspense para falar de racismo e privilégios num mercado de trabalho que os brancos querem manter branco e onde os esforços e dedicação dos funcionários negros nunca são suficientes para que eles consigam quebrar o teto de vidro criado para mantê-los em posições subalternas para sempre. Nella Rogers sente que não só o seu emprego mas sua vida corre perigo. O que ela fará?

Une jeune noire dans un environnement professionel blanc ou white caucasian comme ils disent
Ce roman parle d'une assistante noire, ayant un petit grade dans sa boite d'édition, mais espérant toujours une promotion. Arrive une autre fille noire également. Elles échangent, s'apprécient, mais bientot survient une rivalité. Les développements suivants amènent à une sorte de thriller dans le milieu noir de Brooklyn. Ce livre décrit bien le monde de l'entreprise, et rappelle par bien des aspects notre vie au bureau. Ce livre est comparé au film Le Diable s"habille en Prada. Je pense qu'il est beaucoup plus profond que le film, qui brille surtout par la prestation de Meryl Streep. De plus, et du moins de ce que je me rappelle, il n'y a pas le coté thriller dans le Diable d'habille en Prada. En conclusion, en ces temps d'interdiction de voyage, ce livre vous permet de passer de bon moments en compagnie d'Américains, et somme toute de se transporter à New York pour une vingtaine d'euros.
