Come and Get It by Kiley Reid
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this book.
I liked Reid’s previous book and was looking forward to reading this despite the mixed reviews. I will say that the first 75% of the book is just character studies. It introduces each character and sort of pulls back to give you a snippet of their life and how they ended up here. It’s interesting but it reads a bit like a character study. Nothing major happens until around the end of the book where things crescendo and there’s some good food for thought. But it requires that you have a lot of patience with this book that I think is too long for that type of buildup.
I still enjoyed my time with it and i like her writing and will definitely read her next book but this wasn’t one of my favorites.
with gratitude to netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam, G.P. Putnam’s Sons for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
