A fantastic book that intricately weaves the literary works of Shakespeare in such a way that it doesn’t even matter if you’ve never read a Shakespeare play before. The book itself feels like a classic Shakespearean tragedy and it emulates the obsessiveness of college theatre incredibly well. 
Manages to get better with every read through and it’s devastating every time. 
Also Oliver did all of that because he’s bisexual and stupid. #HappyPride
