 Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read an advance copy of this book.

Having read Reid's first novel, I was excited to see Come and Get It on NetGalley. I honestly didn't have any major expectations going in. I'm grateful for that.

I don't quite know what the point of this book was but maybe that's just me. It was very character driven, which I'm good with. None of the characters were particularly likeable, which in the right circumstances, I'm totally fine with. In this instance, it actually worked somehow. I just wish the point of it was clearer. The ending wasn't all that satisfying, and I wish certain situations were handled better.
