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

mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

This book tore my heart out & then stomped on it & then threw it off a bridge & then rescued it from the waters & then stomped on it again.

I will admit that books make me cry very often. Too often. But it is rare that they get as many tears as this one got. Less than 100 pages in I had to leave Starbucks bc I was about to cry @ this DUMB book. It’s so good. 

Anyways, I would like to address the secret history claims. While this story is p similar in a lot of ways, I personally like this one a lot better. It was way easier to read & also way more interesting to ME! Still love the secret history though. Francis <3

I can’t really form a cohesive thought so I don’t have much to say about this book besides that I loved reading it & I am always so appalled that authors can just write stuff like this. The talentry jumped! I wish I knew more Shakespeare so I could’ve enjoyed it to the fullest. 

This will definitely be one of those books that I think about at least once a day for the rest of my life. Love love love.
