Recenzii

Multi-layered and complex relationships between seriously flawed characters once again take centre stage as its narrative smartly delves into racism, social and economic status, and university campus politics in the 21st century. A perfect read for anyone who loved Netflix's brilliant The Chair and Jean Hanff Korelitz's Admission
Kiley Reid is an expert at teasing apart the messy, complicated, nuanced layers of social dynamics, and has a rare gift for making the unknown feel intimately familiar and the familiar feel brand new. In Come and Get It, she's crafted a story that moves with the momentum and inevitability of a snowball rolling down a mountain. I couldn't put it down, and I didn't want to either'
Kiley Reid's books make me feel lucky to be a reader. I'm in awe - Come and Get It is a page-turning pleasure - stylish, sharp and breathtakingly smart. I can't believe that one book can be this clever, cool and this much fun to read
Reading a Kiley Reid novel is like watching a docuseries designed exactly for you. She captures those exceedingly awkward and real human interactions with such precision and specificity that you're fully invested by the first page. Come and Get It is genius. It's perfect
Wonderfully immersive, propulsive, and beautifully paced. On page one, there is a story that is already happening, and you're plunged right into the novel's world, already up and running, full of real people, and complicated - that is, substantive - as all hell. Just great
Come and Get It is an engrossing novel full of intimately portrayed characters and the seemingly innocuous choices that lead to life-altering mistakes
If you loved the smash hit Such a Fun Age, don't sleep on Reid's newest ... This is a story of indiscretions and gray areas, power dynamics and privilege that's wound as tight as a violin string. Just don't forget to breathe while you're reading (go ahead and thank us later)
Kiley Reid returns with another incisive novel everyone will be talking about . A riveting and fascinating tale
A sardonic and no-holds-barred comedy of manners ... Reid is a keen observer­ - every page sparkles with sharp analysis of her characters. This blistering send-up of academia is interlaced with piercing moral clarity
A illuminating study of power, responsibility, and the bad choices we sometimes make, written in the fresh, bright language for which she's known
A deft exploration of how microaggressions can lead to macro consequences, Reid's second outing will appeal to readers who enjoy slow-burn, character-driven novels
