A review by theelliad
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

wow. literally just wow. this is the most incredible book i’ve read in ages and i could not be more obsessed. 
this is very similar vibes to the secret history but in my opinion way more accessible and engaging and full of shakespeare references that are so well intergrated!! 
READ THIS IS ALL I CAN SAY, shakespeare, murder, dark academia, found family, betrayal, chaos, i want to reread every shakespeare play ever and inject all the words of this book into my skin im so obsessed
