From the celebrated New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age comes a fresh and provocative story about a residential assistant and her messy entanglement with a professor and three unruly students.
Suicidal thoughts.
It’s 2017 at the University of Arkansas. Millie Cousins, a senior resident assistant, wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a visiting professor and writer, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity, she jumps at the chance. But Millie’s starry-eyed hustle becomes jeopardized by odd new friends, vengeful dorm pranks, and illicit intrigue.
A fresh and intimate portrait of desire, consumption, and reckless abandon, Come and Get It is a tension-filled story about money, indiscretion, and bad behavior—and the highly anticipated new novel by acclaimed and award-winning author Kiley Reid.
Don't just take our word for it...
“This new book promises all the same ability at depth and poignancy through a fun, plotty story… It’s a perfect recipe for a great January read: in a college setting, about discretion and desire, about money, want, and, most importantly, it’s by Kiley Reid.”
– LitHub
“Kiley Reid is a great writer. Full stop. Her observations and point of view make even the most mundane moments, like a few students meeting for a focus group in college, feel reexamined and truly original….[A] captivating read that fans will gobble up.”
– GoodMorningAmerica.com
“Juicy—naturally—but poignant, this highly anticipated return from the Such a Fun Age author is sure to get tongues wagging.”
– Elle

One said, “No, I’ve actually had oatmeal every day this week.” The other opened the door with a key fob and said, “See, I need to start doing that, too.”
A moment later, through a partially frosted glass door, Agatha saw brown Birkenstocks hustling across a tile floor. She didn’t know what Millie looked like, but she immediately assumed that these shoes belonged to her.
“Hi, Agatha?” she said. She opened the door with an out- stretched hand. On her chest was a lanyard weighted with keys, an ID case, and hand sanitizer.
“Yes. Millie? Hi.” Agatha shook her hand. “Thanks for setting this up.”
“No worries. Come on in.”
Agatha stepped into the dorm. The paneled ceiling lights in the lobby were the kind that made her skin look transparent and…
