If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

5.0

This is now one of my favorite books of all time.

A murder mystery unravels at a school for thespians, and the characters leap and bound off the page.

As to be expected in a book about theater nerds, there is a lot of Shakespeare directly quoted in character dialogue. To some it may come off as pretentious. But the bold personalities and expertly woven tension make this an incredible mystery.

Bonus points for LGBT representation.
