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.

Story
India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero. Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do—she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie.

On College Hill, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color, like her, are the minority there, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret.

Miranda July’s second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July’s wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman.

Critic reviews
"A thrilling, delectable look at wealth, privilege, and desire."—People Magazine
"Wonderfully immersive, propulsive, and beautifully paced. On page one, there is a story that is already happening, and you’re plunged right into the novel’s world, already up and running, full of real people, and complicated—that is, substantive—as all hell. Just great.”—Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of This Other Eden and Tinkers
"Come and Get It is an engrossing novel full of intimately portrayed characters and the seemingly innocuous choices that lead to life-altering mistakes."—Elizabeth Acevedo, author of Family Lore and The Poet X

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 😅
