“The world’s no fucking good. You’ve got to pretend you don’t give a damn and swing along with those that really don’t-or you go under” “You see even the heart rebels-finally against its own anarchy. And thats the most powerful rebellion” “Beyond that window and this churning world, out of all, all this, something to be found: some undiscovered country within the heart itself” Finished this some weeks back and I was throughly undertaken by the young man’s journey (his name is never revealed) through New York and California on the hustling scene. Brutally honest regarding the give and take “business” transactions between two men with a glittering and “corrupt” cast of characters, this novel had me at page one. With New York as one of the story’s backdrops, the cold city’s filled with hustlers and scores and fairies and drag queens as well as the young man. Each encounter the young man has leaves him fighting for answers for these questions: What is love? Why are we afraid of it? How many people must we sleep with to realize that it won’t fix a searching heart? With each page, I could feel the desperation and longing for the young man to be grounded, to realize that he can give his heart gingerly to someone else and that it can be given back with the same tenderness. Loved this! #booksaremyfriends #booksarecool #booksarefun #booksarethebest #bookreviewer #bookrecommendation #bookishfeature #bookishglee #bookbloggers #bookbloggerlife #readingislife #readingismagic #readingislit #readingisawesome #bookreviewersofinstagram #mybookfeatures #bookreview #readingcommunity #readerforlife #readingaddict #readingcommunity #readingisfun https://www.instagram.com/p/CkW3ig7rjrW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oliver Marks has just been released from prison, and is finally ready to tell Detective Colborne what really happened when his classmate was killed ten years ago. As young actors at an elite conservatory, Oliver and his classmates played the same roles – villain, hero, temptress – over and over again, both off stage and onstage. But when the casting changes, good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into real life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had seen If We Were Villains by @sureasmel around but I didn’t read it until my friend @judithbleeker recommended and lent it to me. It’s not the type of book I read (anymore) and it was very stressful at times, but I was pulled in by the promise of Shakespearian theatre and very soon I was completely hooked. 📚 What struck me most was the emotional complexity of these characters. Difficult backgrounds, trauma, insecurity and forced vulnerability, set in this tiny, isolated, cult-like academic world, then add the strong emotions of the Shakespearian stage and you have fireworks. The way tension builds and ebbs away (but never completely) only to return stronger is masterfully done. 📚 I love how Shakespeare is interwoven in the story, more than just a few references, it’s the very fabric this world is built out of, and underscores some of the characters’ most pivotal moments. They really live Shakespeare. Someday I plan to reread this book again in conjunction with all those plays. Though you genuinely don’t need to to understand and enjoy the book, but it does give the story that much more depth. 📚 A very well crafted book that you should definitely check out if you either like Shakespeare or murder mystery/thriller stories. 📚 (Content warnings below, may contain spoilers) . . . . . . . .   CW’s: violence, abuse, blood, gore, death, suicide (off-page) . #ifwewerevillains #mlrio #shakespeare #bookreview #bookworm #bookish #bookblogger #amreading #bookgram #instareads #bookishlove #readmorebooks #bookstagrammers #bookcollector #readinglife #bookwormproblems #bookobsessed #bedtimereading #readerforlife #bookshark #bookpicture #bookishphoto #bookreviewer #booksaremagic #bookblog #goodreads #review #bookishproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIEcPNLZWy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong. ❓️: If you can read books from only one genre for the rest of your lives, what genre would it be? AOTD: I would have to say Fantasy. It's engaging and can be spun so many different ways. #bookworm #bookish #bookblogger #amreading #bookgram #instareads #bookishlove #readmorebooks #bookstagrammers #bookcollector #readinglife #bookwormproblems #bookobsessed #bedtimereading #readerforlife #bookshark #bookpicture #bookishphoto #bookreviewer #booksaremagic #bookblog #goodreads #bookster #bookishproblems #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_tFf-va3f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
