Everything comes at a price. But not everything can be paid for.
Millie wants to graduate, get a job and buy a house. She's slowly saving up from her job on campus, but when a visiting professor offers her an unusual opportunity to make some extra money, she jumps at the chance.
Agatha is a writer, recovering from a break-up while researching attitudes towards weddings and money for her new book. She strikes gold when interviewing the girls in Millie's dorm, but her plans take a turn when she realises that the best material is unfolding behind closed doors.
As the two women form an unlikely relationship, they soon become embroiled in a world of roommate theatrics, vengeful pranks and illicit intrigue - and are forced to question just how much of themselves they are willing to trade to get what they want.
Sharp, intimate and provocative, Come and Get It takes a lens to our money-obsessed society in a tension-filled story about desire, consumption and bad behaviour.

Rezension:
This Arkansas-set campus tale about students with money and students without has arguably more to say about the hang-ups and have-nots of modern America. Reid wields a needle not a hammer, gradually loading her minutely observed human relationships with tension over class, race and power. I've spent the past three months in America feeling haunted by this novel's final scene, one of the most devastating excoriations of consumerism you're likely to read Sunday Times
