Urgent, propulsive, and sharp as a knife, The Other Black Girl 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.
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.

"King does an excellent job portraying the conflicted protagonist and is at her strongest delivering dialogue. The other narrators also are very good. This slow-building audiobook is built on psychological tension. Part suspense, part publishing industry takedown, it's both entertaining and thought-provoking." (AudioFile Magazine)

Ending was disappointing
The build up was great but the ending was a let down and felt lazy.

I loved the first half of the book and the way it depicted the complex nature of being one of the few Black women/people at work
The story had such great promise and started out so well. The first half of the book read like such a great commentary on Blackness and especially on being a Black woman in the workplace. However, the second portion became this bizarre sci-fi concept and the execution was strange. The second portion was just not meshing well with the rest of the story for me. I was really disappointed with the direction the book took and it felt like the message was not the empowering or critical or engaging message that it started off as.

Disappointed in the ending
I found that the set up was far too long for the pay off. I wanted more. I think the impact of the message was blunted by the finale.
