4.0

I absolutely adored ‘Such a Fun Age’ and had high expectations for ‘Come and Get It’. 
Kiley Reid did not miss 👏🏼

Everyone is unmistakably human in this book.
Agatha starts a relationship with Millie when she shouldn’t, Millie is compliant in moments and feels the aftermath acutely, Tyler is just the worst kind of human 😂
I thoroughly loved this though and I felt myself being drawn back to the book often.

I can imagine this becoming a stunning series 😳
4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨

4.5

I love Kiley Reid's writing. This lost half a star for the lack of discernible plot throughout the book but gained 4.5 stars for everything else. I particularly love the cultural references and speech patterns used - Kiley's writing always feels very grounded in the real world.
