"description": "<p><strong>Urgent, propulsive, and sharp as a knife, <em>The Other Black Girl</em> 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.</strong><br /><br />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.<br /><br />Then the notes begin to appear on Nella’s desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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, <em>The Other Black Girl</em> will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist.</p>",
