Come and Get It

This much-anticipated follow-up to the 2019 sensation Such a Fun Age does NOT disappoint. In this dark campus comedy of manners, Reid tracks the intersecting lives of a University of Arkansas Resident Advisor, the girls on her floor, and a visiting professor working on her next book—all of whom are dealing with a painful recent loss. Don’t expect a tight plot with clear beats: instead, this is a multi-faceted portrait of women and money, power dynamics, race and privilege, the complexities of campus life, and the search for hope and security in the midst of them. Reid excels at maneuvering her characters into precarious situations and watching them squirm. This literary page-turner does not center Greek life, but if you couldn’t look away from #RushTok coverage, add this to your list! Please note content warnings galore.
