THE UNMISSABLE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF BESTSELLING PHENOMENON SUCH A FUN AGE
* THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *
* FEARNE COTTON'S HAPPY PLACE BOOK CLUB PICK FOR FEBRUARY *
‘I couldn’t put it down, and I didn't want to either’ EMILY HENRY
‘The drama is just too juicy – how could anyone resist a binge?’ GUARDIAN
‘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.

Reseñas de la crítica
In her sophomore effort, the much-lauded author of 2019’s Such A Fun Age takes clever aim at the social stratifications and warped value systems of academia
Reid’s follow-up to Such a Fun Age employs the same smart satire that made her debut a hit
After making her mark with 2019’s Such a Fun Age, Kiley Reid wanted to tackle ‘young people and money’ for her second novel. Come & Get It does just that, taking us to the University of Arkansas, where the lives of a professor and three students collide in a page-turning read about consumption, social status, and race
This Arkansas-set campus tale about students with money and students without has arguably more to say about the hang-ups and have-nots of modern America. Reid wields a needle not a hammer, gradually loading her minutely observed human relationships with tension over class, race and power. I’ve spent the past three months in America feeling haunted by this novel’s final scene, one of the most devastating excoriations of consumerism you’re likely to read
A brilliant book ... Really interesting, looks at the lengths we’ll go to get money, and how it informs our decision making and also our relationships. It’s a really good read (Fearne Cotton, Happy Place Book Club)
Kiley Reid has such a way with words … This book tackles money, privilege, race, and power dynamics ... A book that’s begging to be discussed as Kiley explores these topics and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. I couldn't stop thinking about it after I finished reading and the more I marinated on this book, the more I appreciated Kiley’s ambition
A deliciously chewy, politically charged novel ... The kind of book I want to debate with a room full of women drinking fishbowl-sized glasses of cheap Pinot Grigio with too much ice in it
A zippy, laugh-out-loud campus novel ... Reid’s writing is so very funny, always rooted in the everyday
This is a book about how money shapes people’s lives, and it’s for you if you enjoy a character-driven narrative in which everyone introduced comes with an elaborate backstory
Reading Kiley Reid’s fiction feels a bit like watching a prestige TV series. There are expansive casts of characters ... The plots are pacy and compelling, motored by flashbacks and cliffhangers and twists, while also dealing with social issues – particularly race and class – that add intellectual heft. Dialogue is hyper-realistic ... so that you can hear it aloud in your head ... Reid is a talented comic writer. But it also raises deeper questions about how we view the lives of other people, as material for our own consumption. Are the attractions of books and TV so different from those of eavesdropping?
