This book made me cry on my special edition, what the hell.

To summarize my feelings after reading this in the words of one of the main characters:

Regardless of all the pain this caused, it's a great story, showing complex characters, but also how easily reality and performance can blend together. 

With its dark academia vibes and Shakespeare plays, If We Were Villains makes for the ideal read for dark hours if you are ready to get your heart broken.
