On the day he’s released, he’s greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off – villain, hero, tyrant, temptress – though Oliver felt doomed to always be a secondary character in someone else’s story. But when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Donna Tartt’s \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natitolibros.com\/producto\/boyfriend-material-by-alexis-hall\/\"\u003eThe Secret History\u003c\/a\u003e, If We Were Villains\u003c\/em\u003e draws readers into a close-knit, exclusive coterie and watches as rivalry and obsession cause alliances to fracture – with explosive results.
