Acclaimed author Kiley Reid’s fresh and provocative story about desire, consumption, and bad behavior.

It's 2017 at the University of Arkansas, and Millie Cousins—a super-senior resident assistant at Belgrade Dormitory—just wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a writer and visiting professor itching for her next big topic, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity for them to help each other further their own interests, Millie naturally jumps at the chance.

But Millie's starry-eyed hustle quickly becomes jeopardized by a lonely transfer student, unruly residents, and illicit intrigue. Both Millie and Agatha are forced to question just how much of themselves they are willing to trade to get what they want.

Sharp and intimate, Come and Get It, the new thought-provoking, singular novel by the bestselling and critically acclaimed author Kiley Reid, explores the choices we make, particularly for the things that can and cannot be paid for.

Author Bio

American author, Kiley Reid, is a brand new novelist who has had success with her first novel. It is entitled "Such a Fun Age", and was published in the U.S. in December of 2019, and in the U.K. in January of 2020.

Reid studied theater two years at the University of Arizona, before transferring to Marymount Manhattan College, which would seem to be quite a cultural shock from her California birthplace and Arizona. She eventually graduated from The Iowa Writer's Workshop.

Reid's first (and so far) only novel received numerous awards for her creative story which explores the many questions that can arise when a young black student is a nanny for an elite, white family. "Such a Fun Age", has been described as a "funny, fast-paced examination of privilege in America". Reid actually drew from her experiences in caring for the children of the wealthy in Manhattan while she worked on her Masters and wrote her first novel. Actually, the book and screen rights to the story were purchased before she graduated. She now lives in Philadelphia with her husband.
