內容簡介
【萬物皆有價,敢要就來拿…確定嗎?】
渴望順利畢業、盡快找到工作買房的大學生Millie,利用在校的打工機會,正一點一滴努力存錢。因此當一名客座教授找上她 ,請Millie協助她的一項研究,看在報酬的份上,她毫不猶豫地答應了。
 
客座教授兼作家Agatha Paul打算在下一本新書中探討人們對婚禮與金錢的態度,她在Millie宿舍的住宿生身上大有斬獲,從她們的訪談內容中得到許多珍貴的第一手素材,但是Agatha不滿足於此,她很清楚,最真實的內容,通常發生在門關上之後…
 
當心中衡量學術/媒體道德的那把尺,刻度逐漸模糊,她的決定會將所有人捲入什麼樣的風暴?與此同時,她和Millie的關係,也正往另一個危險方向,糾纏著加速前進…
 
初入文壇便以《Such A Fun Age什麼荒謬年代》打進布克獎入圍名單的Kiley Reid,承襲前作以詼諧口吻及輕快節奏,掀開當今社會面對性別及種族議題時的種種弔詭現狀,Reid在新書中用更具洞察力的眼光,佐以更多黑色幽默與精準諷刺,藉大學宿舍裡的一場金錢與權力交易及其帶來的災難性後果,犀利剖析學術圈裡的種族與權力階級生態,進一步拆解個人抱負與財務焦慮,和浮動的道德良知時而相互掣肘、時而衝突,細微又難解的複雜關係。

From the celebrated New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age comes a fresh and provocative story about a residential assistant and her messy entanglement with a professor and three unruly students.
 
It’s 2017 at the University of Arkansas. Millie Cousins, a senior resident assistant, wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a visiting professor and writer, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity, she jumps at the chance. But Millie’s starry-eyed hustle becomes jeopardized by odd new friends, vengeful dorm pranks, and illicit intrigue.
 
A fresh and intimate portrait of desire, consumption, and reckless abandon, Come and Get It is a tension-filled story about money, indiscretion, and bad behavior—and the highly anticipated new novel by acclaimed and award-winning author Kiley Reid.
