Reading questions for Come and Get It by Kiley Reid:
- How did the setting – a college campus – heighten certain interactions and shape the story?
- The story gives three perspectives – Millie's, Agatha's and Kennedy's – why do you think the author chose those three characters to tell the story and how did it impact the way you read the book? Was there another perspective you would have liked to have read?
- Which character fid you sympathise with the most – did any of their actions surprise you?
- Do you think there was a 'villain' in the story? If so, who?
- After an argument about money, where Rob offered up a weak solution, she says to Agatha, "You can't be mad about the money and mad at my solution". In what ways did you find Agatha's own perspective on money contradictory?
- Millie is not much older than the girls she looks after as a RA – why do you think Agatha is drawn into a relationship with her while simultaneously looking down upon the other students? Do you think her ultimate treatment of Millie reveals anything about this relationship?
- How did you see your own experiences with money, class and privilege reflected in the story?
