'I couldn't put it down, and I didn't want to either' EMILY HENRY'A page-turning pleasure - stylish, sharp and breathtakingly smart' DAISY BUCHANANEverything comes at a price. But not everything can be paid for...Millie wants to graduate, get a job and buy a house. She's slowly saving up from her job on campus, but when a visiting professor offers her an unusual opportunity to make some extra money, she jumps at the chance. Agatha is a writer, recovering from a break-up while researching attitudes towards weddings and money for her new book. She strikes gold when interviewing the girls in Millie's dorm, but her plans take a turn when she realises that the best material is unfolding behind closed doors. As the two women form an unlikely relationship, they soon become embroiled in a world of roommate theatrics, vengeful pranks and illicit intrigue - and are forced to question just how much of themselves they are willing to trade to get what they want.Sharp, intimate and provocative, Come and Get It takes a lens to our money-obsessed society in a tension-filled story about desire, consumption and bad behaviour.PRAISE FOR KILEY REID AND SUCH A FUN AGE'The book of the year' Independent'A new literary star' The Times'Essential.

I enjoyed reading this book. It felt like latent anxiety, everything was building up like a tower made of blocks balanced on the edge, or a tightrope walker🤹🏽
I just finished it and the most memorable aspect of it were the characters - although it felt like a lot to keep up with at first, i have an idea of how theyre like and what they look like in my head!! I That's a remarkable thing to achieve because usually I just end up dnf-ing books with too many characters.
I think youd enjoy this book if ur a uni student who is interested in the perspectives of introverted characters, college friend groups, general dorm drama, growing up, questionable choices etc.
3.5 stars!!!!
i was really looking forward to this book and despite it having great representation, i think it just fell a bit flat for me. i didn't really care about any of the characters (tbh i hated most of them) and the things that happened to them just left me like “....okayyy???”. the writing was really good and i enjoyed a lot of the commentary!
