If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Never have I been a Shakespeare fan, but I don't think that's necessary here at all. I ended up relating to the characters passion for their art, their sense of found family and togetherness. They were all so broken in their own ways. 

I don't know why, but I'm feeling hopeful after reading it...and I often teeter on whether that's a good thing or not.
