Come & Get It by Kiley Reid

Ummm
The only character I liked was Kennedy - everyone else can go kick rocks lol. There was some impressive visceral description of Kennedy’s social anxiety which I thought was superb. Every other character was so flat.
I get that the campus novel is “in” right now in the lit world, but this one is not it. There’s a plot but it’s so narrow it reads as weak and unclear. I’m not too sure what themes were even explored in depth - SUCH A FUN AGE was much better in my opinion. This sophomore novel feels deeply unfinished and lacking in any sort of scope.
TBH I didn’t get the entire experience of reading this book lol
