The Other Black Girl
by Zakiya Dalila Harris
The Other Black Girl spins together so many different genres, and excels at them all. The thriller aspects keep you on the edge of your seat, but the characterization, prose, and humor aren’t forgotten about for a second. I read this book on a cross-country flight, which was a mistake because as soon as I finished it I wanted to wake up the other people in my row, force them to read it, and then have them discuss it with me. This book needs to be talked about! Several times, I had to close it and just stare into the seat in front of me as I processed the story. I also continued to think about this book for approximately a month after I finished it. Zakiya Dalila Harris demonstrates her genius in this novel; the interactions of the main character and her white colleagues as well as other black women are SO engaging, and the twist is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Read this! And then please talk to me about it. I really want to talk about it.
