If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

Dark academia book that made me think I knew what was coming next, only to be fooled. Slow paced and I will say some things felt like they had too many details where other things felt underdeveloped. Utterly hooked by the end. I listened to the audiobook which I think helped with some of the Shakespeare dialogue, but I do wonder how it would have been reading. 

More plot holes through book club analysis.
