You loved watching Korede mop up blood while rolling her eyes at family dysfunction—now watch Nella navigate a publishing house where the microaggressions cut deeper than any knife and the backstabbing is disturbingly literal. Zakiya Dalila Harris wields the same mordant wit you craved, skewering corporate performative allyship and tokenism with prose so sharp it draws blood, all while two Black women circle each other in a loyalty test that makes sibling rivalry look quaint.
The bingeable chapter structure returns, but swap Lagos for Manhattan's whitest offices, where cultural code-switching becomes survival and ambition tangles with identity in ways that feel voyeuristic, urgent, and darkly hilarious.
It's the workplace thriller for readers who believe competence, cunning, and a little moral ambiguity are the sharpest weapons women wield.
