If you love Shakespeare and enjoy reciting lines of plays, then this book is definitely for you! It has amazing plot twists that will make you hate, love, suspect, and not trust the characters. The story is reminiscent of The Secret History, but with a focus on actors studying Shakespeare. However, some scenes feel like copy/pastes of Shakespeare's plays and the ending may be seen as incredible. Overall, it is a relatively good read that grips you with its mystery and beautifully written prose.
