Reader Review: "If We Were Villains"
by Joeji (Austria): t's one of the best stories I've ever read. The characters have flaws, obviously that makes it better. They are very well written! I won't reread for at least the next 4 years, that's how long it's going to take me to get over it. It's the perfect book for the dark academic aesthetic. You grow to love and hate certain characters and, of course, the revenge and the hate somebody can keep inside. That hate that develops the moment somebody hurts what they love. Don't get me wrong, the book is, indeed, mostly about love. But just not directly, but covered with fear, hate and the feeling of being lost. Most of all you see the intense passion they have for acting, Shakespeare as well as for themselves. The characters they play become their own. Shakespeare, for that matter is the main character, the villain and the savior at the same time.
