I would go as far as saying that M. L. Rio's If We Were Villains is a masterpiece. 

With characters you cannot help but love, while driving you to hair-pulling frustration, Rio weaves the line of morality wonderfully. As the characters are drawn into the world of Shakespeare, you are drawn into theirs. 

Just when you think you have it figured out, Rio pulls the rug out from under you, time and time again, ending with a finale that will leave you in a daze. 

The intricacies of language Rio uses tell the reader exactly what is going to happen, while still maintaining tension, is genius. Upon re-reading the book you will find yourself laughing out loud at how boldly she spelled it all out. 

If We Were Villains is a book you can sink your teeth into, and I intend to, many times over.

It’s been a long time since a book has given me chills by just thinking about it. The characters make the plot feel real, the incorporation of Shakespeare is impeccable and the ending, is tragic. If We Were Villains is definitely a new favourite of mine.
