I am so glad I switched to listening to this on audiobook because it made it just that more enjoyable a read.
This is an ode to passion, ambition, desire, desperation, and the lengths some people will go to in order to get what they want. Oliver is a very interesting narrator, and the rest of the fourth year students (Alexander, James, Wren, Philippa, Meredith, and Richard) are all unique and provide a diverse yet somehow common voice.
I had an inkling about who ACTUALLY carried out the murder, but I didn’t guess the exact nature of it.
If We Were Villains is a different class of Dark Academia than what I’ve already read, and I’m interested to explore more like it.
