It's 2017 at the University of Arkansas, and Millie Cousins, senior resident assistant at the Belgrade dorm, just wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. One of its residents, Kennedy Washburn, is a young transfer who came to Fayetteville for a fresh start. And Agatha Paul is a guest writer and professor who can't wait to discover her next topic. When Agatha offers Millie an easy but unusual opportunity to help each other promote their own interests, Millie naturally jumps at the chance. But Millie's side hustle is soon jeopardized by strange new friends, vengeful dorm pranks, and illicit intrigue, forcing them all to question how much of themselves they're willing to trade to get what they want.
A fresh and intimate portrait of desire, consumption and reckless abandon, Come and Get It is a tension-filled story about indiscretion and bad behavior that explores the choices we make for and about money ; the casual, unconscious ways we communicate in class; and things that can and cannot be paid for. It's a fierce and honest story for our times – and a striking reminder to "rejoice that Kiley Reid is just getting started" (NPR).
Kiley Reid is the author of Such a Fun Age, a New York Times bestseller and shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Playboy, The Guardian and others. Reid is currently an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.
Reid will be in conversation with Glory Edim. Glory Edim is Marketing Director at Politics & Prose and founder of Well-Read Black Girl, a book club and digital platform that celebrates the uniqueness of Black literature and sisterhood. She edited the Well-Read anthology Black Girl, which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award and named a best book of the year by Library Journal. Winner of the Innovator's Award from the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes, Edim has worked as a creative strategist for over a decade and serves on the board of directors of New York City's Housing Works bookstore.
