If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Well. This was fine. Just fine.

I really thought I was liking all the Shakespeare at first, but it became tiresome rather quickly. Sometimes it felt odd. And while the characters were classically unstable thespians... they were also SUPER annoying.

Richard - violently unstable
Oliver - boring
James - get a life
Alexander - what are you even here for?
Meredith - yeah, ok........
Wren - sadly unstable

I mean, really.... really? The twist was twisty, but unsatisfying, mostly because I think they were all, frankly, irritating and unredeemable anyway... Meh.
