Kiley Reid is the author of Come And Get It. This is a novel about a resident assistant living in a dormitory at the University of Arkansas. Three female students are featured in this tale about shaky boundaries between a resident assistant and her students. Through a thin wall the students and the resident assistant spy on each other by listening to each other's conversations. A visiting professor asks the resident assistant for help in interviewing students. Without the students nor the resident assistant's knowledge or consent, the professor uses the details of their lives in writing an article in a fashion journal. When all this comes out lives are ruins and reputations are shattered. I enjoyed reading about the characters in this novel.
