A review by thexwalrus
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

dark emotional slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

i am destroyed. the ending ripped my heart to shreds then dared to tease me with the possibility that this wasn't a shakespearean tragedy after all.

there are no words to describe how this book hollowed me out. i will be thinking about it for the rest of my life.

"but that is how a tragedy... breaks your heart - by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute."
