Come and Get It by Kiley Reid

zach � booksthatslay’s first review of the year

liked it
There's a lot happening in the words and actions exchanged between characters about class and race - both subtle and blatant. Reid's writing is smart and the dialogue feels fully realized. I really admire when a writer is able to say so much without having to say too much. This was a very character driven story in a way that didn't totally work for me.

zach � booksthatslay’s last review of the year

it was amazing
My Husband is exactly my kind of book! It is translated from French and is told from the perspective of a woman who is obsessed with her husband. The less you know going into it, the better. It is compulsively readable and will keep you on the edge until the final sentence. Hilarious, twisted, deeply unserious, and perfectly camp, My Husband is a new all time favorite. Thank you to HarperVia for the eARC on NetGalley.
