Zakiya Dalila Harris’s The Other Black Girl was one of the buzziest books of 2021. When new employee Hazel-May joins Wagner Books, editorial assistant Nella is thrilled she’ll have a Black ally. But she soon finds herself eclipsed by the charismatic newcomer, and when she starts receiving anonymous notes entreating her to leave Wagner, things take a sinister turn. Part office satire, part thriller with a twist, this audacious debut is hilarious, unsettling and a compulsive read.

Participants
