If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
4.25
4.25 stars
I really liked this novel! More than THE SECRET HISTORY. It did take a bit of time to sink into and get my bearings, but once I did, I didn't want to put it down!
Seven friends are all fourth-year Shakespeare thespians at a small college. When the book opens, we find out that Oliver (the main character) has served ten years for killing one of the other students. Now that he's getting out, the detective wants to know the REAL story. So Oliver tells us.
The characters were great. The pacing was solid. If I had more Shakespeare knowledge and understood more of his plays, I would have probably had an even better reading experience.
