The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris

Editorial assistant Nella is thrilled when another person of color, Hazel, is hired at Wagner, where Nella has worked at for the past two years. She figures they can bond and hopefully come together to bring more diversity to the publishing house. But soon after Hazel arrives, Nella receives an anonymous note urging her to quit her job, and her co-workers seem to prefer working with Hazel rather than her. What is going on at Wagner? Can Nella really trust Hazel? The Other Black Girl starts out as a novel about working in publishing and the inequalities there, then morphs into something completely different. Book groups will have a lot to discuss.
