"Much like Donna Tartt's The Secret History, M. L. Rio's sparkling debut is a richly layered story of love, friendship, and obsession...will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments."
--Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest

Nerdily (and winningly) in love with Shakespeare...Readable, smart."
--New York Times Book Review

On the day Oliver Marks is released from jail, the man who put him there is waiting at the door. Detective Colborne wants to know the truth, and after ten years, Oliver is finally ready to tell it.

A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, a place of keen ambition and fierce competition. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ing nue, extras.

But in their fourth and final year, good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades the students' world of make-believe. In the morning, the fourth-years find themselves facing their very own tragedy, and their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, each other, and themselves that they are innocent.

If We Were Villains was named one of Bustle's Best Thriller Novels of the Year, and Mystery Scene says, A well-written and gripping ode to the stage...A fascinating, unorthodox take on rivalry, friendship, and truth.

Great vest
Size: 12, Color: Black
Great vest. I love the slim fit. It looks very nice on my son, not baggy or boxy looking like some vest. My son has used it for several occasions including a wake, a Beta Club induction, awards day, and soon his graduation celebration at church. The quality and material are good. Definitely worth what I paid.

Elegant Color and Very Well Made Vest
Size: 14, Color: Light Grey, Size: 14, Color: Light Grey
The vest is really nice and great quality, but it does run a little smaller than expected. I would suggest sizing up if you want a more comfortable fit. Other than that, it looks very sharp and well made.
