From the celebrated New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age comes a fresh and provocative story about a residential assistant and her messy entanglement with a professor and three unruly students.

It's 2017 at the University of Arkansas. Millie Cousins, a senior resident assistant, wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a visiting professor and writer, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity, she jumps at the chance. But Millie's starry-eyed hustle becomes jeopardized by odd new friends, vengeful dorm pranks, and illicit intrigue.

A fresh and intimate portrait of desire, consumption, and reckless abandon, Come and Get It is a tension-filled story about money, indiscretion, and bad behavior—and the highly anticipated new novel by acclaimed and award-winning author Kiley Reid.

"With only a handful of chapters, numerous characters feel fleshed-out and well-rounded. The story gets its hooks in with such subtlety, the reader doesn’t realize how far she’s been pulled in until Come & Get It is well under the skin, the characters staying for days."—BUST Magazine

"Reid’s skillful storytelling and vibrant characters are sure to give you a great time."—Book Riot

"Reid really shines. The dialogue and personalities she created for each dorm resident, each classmate and each parent are so complete, it's like tuning into a juicy reality show already in progress. . . . Consumerism, race, desire, grief and growth are key themes in Reid's novel, but connection might be the thread through them all."—USA Today

Editorial Review

Come and listen to this
I couldn’t imagine a better way to ring in the new year than with a new listen from Kiley Reid, who burst onto the publishing scene in 2019 with her buzzy debut, Such a Fun Age. In Come and Get It, Reid turns her brilliant knack for witty dialogue and sardonic social observation to the campus of the University of Arkansas. There, a Black resident assistant forms a complicated relationship with a white professor, and a troubled transfer student along with her mean-girl roommates are caught in the crossfire. Featuring multiple POVs, this audiobook could have easily had a full cast, but narrator Nicole Lewis (who also performed Such a Fun Age) rises to the challenge. Lewis so intimately nails each woman’s unique speech style, accent, and cadence, it was easy to forget it’s just one person giving them their voices. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

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 😅

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.

A little vapid

I didn’t enjoy this novel as much as her first one. I thought the dialogue was insipid at times and thoughts and conversations dragged on. But I slogged through. It’s an easy listen but the characters weren’t as deeply developed as I would have liked. The author definitely has what to say about the college atmosphere and students. I guess I’m just not there anymore.

Made me literally LOL multiple times.

The accents and different impressions of southern college girls was spot on. Great story, great narration. Loved this book.

LOVE IT 🥰

A beautiful story about days in the life of women. I felt like yes I have been there so many times. So thoughtfully written. You feel like the Chas are friends and you experience things with them. ❤️

Another terrific novel

An excellent novel, and a particularly good reading. Nicole Lewis differentiates the characters perfectly. This one's quite different from Kiley Reid's first novel, but just as good, if not better, and just as entertaining. Brilliantly original.

Great characters

Kiley Reid does such an amazing job of capturing the little things that make a character complete - gestures, phrasing, etc - and Nicole Lewis absolutely delivers on those individualities. Loved the different voices, accents, and inflections.

Monotony

I just couldn’t get through it. I have no interest in girls gossiping about each other.
