Book: If We Were Villains
Author: M.L. Rio
Pages: 368
This is my 134th read for the year
This is the story of Oliver. 10 years ago he was a senior at Dellcher Classical Conservatory. During the year, a student named Richard decides to start taking his frustrations out with his classmates onstage. He started to become overly aggressive and hurting people. One night after a show, the senior class finds Richard dead and no one knows what happened. Detectives come to the school to try and figure out what happened. None of the students are talking, but all of them know this was no accident.
This book was terrible. I did not like it at all. I read it to fullfill a challenge question and just finished it to get it overwith. The characters are awful, the writing is just so-so, and the plot was boring. There was a slight saving grace that I thought might carry my interest after they arrested Oliver (this is in the first chapter - so not a spoiler) and jump 10 years into the future. I thought it would play out to find out why Oliver was arrested, but no. It ended up being a silly reason that he went to jail and the story was not redeemed.
Skip this one
