"Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is pretty tired of being the only Black girl at Wagner Books--so of course she's excited when Hazel-May McCall starts working in the cubicle beside hers. Born and raised in Harlem, Hazel exudes the confidence and charm that Nella has never quite possessed. But they've only just started swapping emails and natural hair care regimens when a string of unsettling events causes Nella to become public enemy number one, and Hazel, the office darling. And then the notes start to appear on Nella's desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW. Nella can't believe that Hazel's been leaving the notes; despite her crude code-switching and competitive vibes, the new Black girl doesn't seem that hostile. But as Nella begins to spiral, obsess, and ultimately uncover the sinister forces at play, she risks losing much more than her career. The stakes are higher than she could have imagined--far beyond P&Ls and promotions."--
