What a treat!!! Kiley Reid crafted such a strong novel. The way each storyline unfolded and progressed was masterful. After reading the acknowledgments I can see that a lot (like a lot) of research and care went into this book. I was shocked by how true to life the dialogue was until I learned that countless students from various schools were interviewed.
I can’t help but feel like the majority of 3 and below star reviews come from people unable to handle the messiness of the characters and the choices they make. But those choices felt appropriate to me considering the ages and stages of life each character was in. I’m going to be thinking about this book for a while.

“Come and Get It” by Kiley Reid presents a compelling mix of ages, ambition, college education, Southern charm, and varying monetary statuses, all intertwined with sharp wit and sexual tension. The characters are engaging, but the multitude of backstories can make the narrative difficult to follow at times. Despite this complexity, the story culminates in an interesting ending where nothing is fully resolved yet still feels satisfying. Overall, it’s a thought-provoking read that highlights societal dynamics but may leave some readers yearning for more clarity.
