A review by raysberry
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
slow-paced
3.0
I don’t wanna get crucified by the fandom of this book so I’ll be brief.
It just wasn’t for me. I know the characters are supposed to be pretentious, it just also felt like the author was pretentious too. It was too fast and then too slow, the aesthetic was awesome but there wasn’t much substance to it. Considering the dark matters it handles, the main character felt underdeveloped until the very end. Or maybe I just couldn’t connect to people with so different lives from me.
The author wrote a book for a very specific demographic it seem, I just didn’t happen to be in it.
