1. If We Were Villains
The novel revolves around a group of seven Shakespearean actors at an elite arts college, whose close-knit friendship is tested by intense rivalries and the pressures of their craft. As they immerse themselves in their roles, the lines between performance and reality blur, leading to a tragic event that shatters their lives. The story unfolds through the eyes of Oliver Marks, who, after serving a decade in prison for a crime he may not have committed, recounts the events leading up to the fateful night. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and the destructive power of art are explored as the truth behind the tragedy is gradually revealed.
