For someone who loved words as much as I did,
It was amazing how often they failed me”.
The easiest 5🌟 review I will ever give. Wow. I have no words.
If we were villains is one of those books that will never leave you. Every page was written in a way that just tore open my head and chest and jumped right into my brain and heart. This is probably just as pretentious as this book someeetimeeees gets, but f it, it seriously deserves the poetic praise. Our Shakespearean students deserve it and ten times more.
I have never read a book this slow, and only because I never wanted to let go of it. I will definitely give this a reread in the future, possibly in October or December.
OLIVER, JAMES AND PHILIPPA OWN MY HEART, I CANNOT EVEN COPE 😭 Alexander was a vibe too, and Wren was the cutest. Meredith was awesomely written too, and RICHARD??? GOOSEBUMPS ALL AROUND, Just WOW!
Is M. L. Rio the reason why I’m two steps away from dropping my plans of my current studies and try to become an actor? Yup! I am currently watching all Shakespeare I can find on YouTube, and trying to find a way to read em too ahah.
IF YOU LIKE THE SHAKESPEARE PART OF THIS BOOK, TRY THE BOOK HAMNET!❤️❤️❤️
