A review by evelynritzi
The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris

mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I’ll start by saying this is definitely more of a thought-provoking workplace drama than a thriller. That said, it kept me hooked and the  social commentary definitely had me thinking about topics such as workplace microagressions, imposter syndrome, and code switching. I did think the ending was rushed and left some plot holes. But overall, a worthwhile read (I’d say, especially for white women).
