Come & Get It
by Kiley Reid
Kiley Reid knows how to write messy, complicated characters that leave you unsettled in the best way. Come and Get It explores the power dynamics between a college student chasing financial stability and a visiting professor who is both alluring and ethically questionable. Their relationship is steeped in emotion, financial, and sexual tension.
The story asks bold questions: Can you feel sympathy for someone who kills a dog and keeps moving like nothing happened? Is it ever okay to take someone’s life story and profit from it especially without consent? Reid doesn’t hand you easy answers, and that’s what makes this book so compelling.
This is a slow burn that leans more literary than romantic, but it’s layered with sharp social commentary, class dynamics, and moments that made me pause and think. A solid 4 stars for keeping me uncomfortable and intrigued the whole way through.
