I really like the way this author writes authentic flawed characters. Their internal monologues gave words to feelings I previously couldn’t name or describe. I couldn’t help but reflect on my college experience. 
This book ended up being unexpectedly triggering to me which I did not anticipate after the lightness of Such a Fun Age but I am glad to have read it.

Come and get it is a character driven, slow burn of a book, and while that may not work for every reader, it certainly worked for me. We have SUCH rich characters. They’re messy and imperfect and deeply human, and I think the flaws are what make this book so great. You are not going to get a cookie cutter story with a fairy tale ending and that is my FAVORITE kind of book. My only issue in my reading of this book was that I neglected to check CW and got hit REAL hard with one part in particular- so I definitely recommend NOT doing what I did and checking those warnings!  Otherwise, I HIGHLY recommend this book!

I really liked this one. Way more than such a fun age! I just wish the ending was more satisfying but I really got invested in all the characters. I also think it would make a good miniseries
