The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris
4.0

An Office Race Politics-Horror novel. Can kind of be described as Sorry to Bother You + a bit of Devil Wears Prada + Stepford Wives (or Invasion of the Body Snatchers) + Get Out (of course). The Other Black Girl is a page-turner that I can see being made into a movie, maybe even a good one, depending on who does it. Makes the NY publishing work sound nuts, in addition to the racial politics at play, which should be recognizable to anyone who works in an office in the USA.
