Some people collect designer bags. Others collect secrets. If We Were Villains by M.L.Rio is proof that the most dangerous thing you can wear is ambition. Set inside an elite Shakespeare conservatory, the novel follows a group of IMPOSSIBLY TALENTED students whose lives become just as dramatic as the plays they’re performing. The friendships are intoxicating TO THE CORE, the tension is sooo delicious and every page feels like you’re watching a scandal unfold from the best seat in the house. It’s dark academia at its MOST ADDICTIVE with equal parts of obsession, betrayal and of course the Shakespearean prose. Trust me, once you’re invited into this circle there is no graceful exit and isn’t that exactly the kind of story worth getting caught up in?

Until next time...
