If We Were Villains

A mystery thriller that has links to Shakespeare and acting? This immediately had me hooked.

This is actually the first dark academia that I've read and it's sold me on it. The characters are all so intriguing. They each brought something so unique to the story and I found myself struggling to put this book down for even a short period of time.

What I loved most is the feeling of not knowing who to trust, including the characters I grew to love and enjoy whilst reading. It follows Oliver's point of view throughout the story and I couldn't help but not be able to find him a reliable narrator.

It was filled with twists that I never saw coming and constantly left me waiting for the next show to drop. I absolutely love this book.

I don't think I'm going to be able to stop thinking about this book. It's so beautifully tragic. This is definitely a comfort read and I will probably reread again very soon.
