Excellent Plot & Character Development
This is a very witty and compelling book with relatable characters.

The Other Black Girl
I am reluctantly rating this book as average (3). The plot is excellent but I found it difficult to follow the characters. Too much emphasis was placed on the smell of Black hair products and not enough time was spent on developing the back stories of the characters. Also the ending left too many unanswered questions.
Judy L. Sanders

ridiculous premise
I thought The Other Black Girl would be about competition in the work place, but instead it was about controlling women through their hair products (yes, their hair "grease" as it's referred to). There is also some plot drama about recruitment for the "Resistance," but this was a hugely disappointing and silly book.
