‘Razor-sharp … Packs a huge emotional punch’ DAILY MAIL

Everything comes at a price. But not everything can be paid for…

Millie wants to graduate, get a job and buy a house. She’s slowly saving up from her job on campus, but when a visiting professor offers her an unusual opportunity to make some extra money, she jumps at the chance.

Agatha is a writer, recovering from a break-up while researching attitudes towards weddings and money for her new book. She strikes gold when interviewing the girls in Millie’s dorm, but her plans take a turn when she realises that the best material is unfolding behind closed doors.

As the two women form an unlikely relationship, they soon become embroiled in a world of roommate theatrics, vengeful pranks and illicit intrigue – and are forced to question just how much of themselves they are willing to trade to get what they want.

Sharp, intimate and provocative, Come and Get It takes a lens to our money-obsessed society in a tension-filled story about desire, consumption and bad behaviour.

After a very slow start the book warms up & the threads come together in an interesting & engaging way. While it never quite reaches the enticing heights of her first book I nevertheless found the story enjoyable enough to stick with. I feel like there is a truly great book in this writer, something that really gets to the heart of the race & class divide in the states. But this book isn’t it.

I liked Such a Fun Age a lot, and I remember the story very well, having read it in 2019, which I always think is a sign of an excellent novel. With Come and Get It, I think it is entirely forgettable and unremarkable character study with only fleeting substance. I was sad about this. I could see what Kiley Reid was trying to do in exploring and highlighting issues of money and power in neoliberal America, but the story was so overstuffed with character and situation studies that the subject matter got lost for me. It was also hard to become invested in any of the characters for the same reason.

Meandering, disjointed character study

Not as gripping as the first book I read by Kiley. But interesting enough. Easy listening

I loved Such A Fun Age, adored the short story Simplexity, but this disappointed me, bored me and annoyed me. I do not get it. The dialogue is sharp in places,but the level of descriptive detail and background is so overdone to make it laborious. Minutes devoted to contents of shelves. Yawn. Had to stop listening.

Kiley Reid is a supremely talented writer. She has a great ear for absurd dialogue and an acute observer of social mores. I loved her first novel. So what on earth hapoened here?

Perhaps part of the problem is that American campus life doesn’t translate that well for a British reader. I have no clue what a “resident assistant” does in a university hall and could care less. Or what level a “senior” is at. Nothing really happens, I couldn’t relate to any of the characters and was mystified as to why she chose to write this book.

A tedious tale

Killy Reid’s first novel Such a Fun Age is slyly witty and accomplished, with memorable and well drawn characters. So much so, that I can hardly believe this meandering, frequently tedious story is written by the same person. I found the students difficult to tell apart and after a while I didn’t care.

Very disappointing

Kiley Reid is such an amazing writer, this book is as brilliant as the last. Nicole Lewis is excellent as usual too! I’d listen to her read the phone book.

I loved this book - the characters are so well observed and understated and each perspective offers so much poignancy. I wanted to follow them all!
