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.

Don't let negative reviews deter you

I loved Such a Fun Age and narrator Nicole Lewis, so I was excited to hear a new Kiley Reid book was out! It was highly entertaining going in with no real expectations about the subject of the book. Reid writes rich, realistic characters down to their physical mannerisms. Lewis' performance brought them to life, accents and all. I devoured this audiobook and laughed when I tried to explain to my husband what was so engaging about it. There was some cringey nostalgia for my college days. My love for gossip being met by fictional characters. The story has layers that leave me wanting to explore them all before digging deeper to the next.

I'm so glad I picked this title up and look forward to the next book by Kiley Reid!

Characters!!

Loved Such a Fun Age and could not wait to read this, however it did fall a bit short for me. The story is very character driven, which I love, but the plot was lacking. Though I do think that is kind of the point..? Its a story about women living their lives and navigating through it all. Money and relationships, goals and ambitions, friends and family. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, though I could scream at some of the decisions the characters made 😅

Nothing really stood out

Not a subject that I found interesting. I probably won’t listen to this author in the future.

Different dialogue than most

This was a really great book. It felt a bit like I was a voyeur peeking into someone’s life. The dialogue was real in a way I haven’t read in other places. The narrator was great.

College Dorm Life

I really enjoyed this; characters that I initially really liked and connected to turned out to be people I ended up really disliking. The overall I came away with is always watch your back, no one us going to rescue you but you
