As always I enjoy Kiley Reid tackling the more difficult topics but this one left me a little confused about the point. I listened on audio and while I was entertained I was never fully captivated by the story overall.

The subject matter just did not connect with me. I got though it and thought about leaving a review but every time I went to do so it never felt justified. I don't know what I thought the book was going to be but it wasn't what it ended it up being and that doesn't make it a bad book I just went into it with expectations that were never met.

Kiley Reid is one of those authors I want to love, but so far I haven't found a book that holds my attention.

This book was not for me— I couldn’t figure out what the actual plot was because the dialogue was so very awful. A shame because her other book was delightful.

I love Kiley Reid!!! I love every journey she puts me on and this book was no different. Can’t wait for the next one!

A big fan of Reid, I was excited for her next book, but the pacing was slow and all the characters introduced at once made it hard to follow.

I’m not really entirely sure how I felt about this one. I really did enjoy following all the characters, and this is definitely a character-driven book, which I didn’t realize from the summary.

I kinda wish I had known that more going in.

I feel like Kiley Reid’s books are sometimes almost too smart for me. I would like to buddy read one sometime to be able to discuss it as I go.

I still think I’ll continue to check out her future books.

Reid does dialog so well. While I don't love this one as much as Such a Fun Age, I was still drawn in and eager to read more.

Was excited for this author’s next book after her debut, but… this one fell a bit flat. The story was all over the place and there were too many characters to keep track of.

(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.)

Everyone in this was an absolute mess which I loved!!! There was not a single character that I liked or disliked unilaterally, every single person contained multitudes which made the entire book more interesting and made the characters seem more real.

I really couldn’t figure out what the plot or point of this was. Loved the college campus setting but this one was a big miss for me.

Come and Get it by Kiley Reid didn't hit the mark for me. I was looking forward to this one but had a hard time getting sucked in.

COME AND GET IT was delightfully unexpected and raw. This novel puts a magnifying glass on five stories from an Arkansas college campus: an RA, three of her residents and a captivating professor (no, this is not a "walked into a bar" joke). I felt transported back into the recklessness of my late teens and early twenties, truly awe-struck by the profound realness of these narratives.

Big fan of Kiley Reid. But this was hard for me. The pacing was kind of and I could barely get through it.

I realllllly tried with this book but it just wasn't for me. It felt slow and choppy, with little plot to keep me interested. And very long, for what? I don't know, I will continue to read Kiley Reid but this wasn't for me!

This book just WORKED for me. I truly consider Kiley Reid to be a staple author for me. I’m not going to positively wallow until she releases her third book.

BOOK CLUB PICK? OK just no. This was no where NEAR the caliber of her other book I read and I would not recommend this to anyone. No plot watsoever

Anxiety, competition, longing. Makes me feel like I am back in undergrad and then back in grad school and then back to undergrad.

Reid's sophomore novel doesn't hit the high notes of her first, but is still an excellent, gripping summer read.

This was my first Kiley Reid but it definitely won't be my last. It was immersive and engaging, and I struggled to put it down. The themes explored in this book are as timely as ever and handled so beautifully.
