bookishdragonrider 's review for:

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
3.5
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I had very high hopes for this book, and felt a little let down. 

Part of my problem is I am not a huge Shakespeare person and the characters like him way too much. The characters felt very pretentious and I didn’t not like that, but I think they were supposed to be written that way. So if you love to hate characters, this could be a pro. 

Honestly, this book would have been 4 stars for me up until the very ending. I cannot express how much I didn’t like it because it just did not make sense to me!
