Acclaimed author Kiley Reid’s fresh and provocative story about desire, consumption, and bad behavior.
It's 2017 at the University of Arkansas, and Millie Cousins—a super-senior resident assistant at Belgrade Dormitory—just wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a writer and visiting professor itching for her next big topic, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity for them to help each other further their own interests, Millie naturally jumps at the chance.
But Millie's starry-eyed hustle quickly becomes jeopardized by a lonely transfer student, unruly residents, and illicit intrigue. Both Millie and Agatha are forced to question just how much of themselves they are willing to trade to get what they want.
Sharp and intimate, Come and Get It, the new thought-provoking, singular novel by the bestselling and critically acclaimed author Kiley Reid, explores the choices we make, particularly for the things that can and cannot be paid for.
Customer Reviews
Exciting but not over the top
This was an interesting read, there was good balance of intrigue and humor and steadiness. I do wish there was more of an Agatha, Kennedy crossover but this was a very enjoyable read.
Excellent character development
I somehow stumbled on this book and found a truly gifted writer in the process. The characters are so well developed that I was completely dialed in by the time the story really developed. This writer is one of the best I’ve seen at developing levels of characters, and in such a causal way that you’re chuckling and grinning while connecting with them the whole time. Excellent, excellent book. I highly recommend it.
everyone come & get this book
I quite literally devoured this book. I was desperate to know how all of the character’s stories were going to end, and loved their realistic dialogue and mannerisms. I started reading this book on a cruise ship after checking it out from the library, and ended up buying it from the Apple library when I couldn’t finish reading in time. Delightful and addicting!!!
