Compelling story and characters. I found the writing style a little verbose at times and must admit to skimming the Shakespeare quotes a few times which is the only reason it's been knocked down on review.

I’ve never greatly enjoyed reading Shakespeare, and I was worried that it would affect my overall perception of If We Were Villains. 

While I am grappling with mixed emotions on my overall opinion of the book, I know this book will stick around with me for quite a while. 

M.L Rio does a beautiful job of displaying the complex and raw emotions and relationships that can form in tight-knit friend circles in early adulthood. 

I both love and hate the ending at the same time - a form of artistry I’ve grown to appreciate more the older I’ve gotten. A solid 4 stars!
