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

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

The last two acts make it worth suffering through the first act and most of the second. The premise is so beautiful but the execution is so not beautiful. I wish Rio could pack the same pinch in the first half the way she did in the second half.
