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.

I ended up working in reverse with Kiley Reid. I started with this novel despite having Such a Fun Age on my shelf for a while now. Based on the premise, this should have been a no brainer 5 star for me. Unfortunately, it fell a little short in terms of pacing for me. I love a morally grey character driven novel but I failed to find my footing in a sea of characters (both major and minor). However! I am eager to read Such a Fun Age more than ever because I do enjoy Reid's narrative voice. I am certain that her voice combined with some stronger narrative conviction will be a major home-run.

LOVE Kiley Reid. I'd read absolutely anything that woman writes. I love, love, love how sharp and witty this book is with messy and realistic characters and relationships.

I really loved this author’s first book, but I could not get into this one. It felt monotonous and draining to read as the characters were all tolerable at best. I was so disappointed and hope her next book delivers the same relatable consideration and levity in challenge that Such a Fun Age tackled.

I loved the authors first book so much, and wanted to like this book too but it was a miss for me. I didn’t really understand what the point of the book was. There was also a lot of character backstory (for multiple characters) that didn’t really seem to have anything to do with anything. So it felt like we were learning about these characters to just say “end scene”. Like so what? What’s the point? Disappointed considered how much I loved such a fun age.
