I loved this so much! Such a great read for a beautiful sunny day. The plot is engaging, the dialogue is immaculate, and it is extremely witty. However, the female characters are developed but have no agency and are their actions are only in reaction to what the men do, they have very little initiative.

This is as relatable and hilarious now as (I imagine) it was when it was first written. This is so much more useful for young people to read than Shakespeare because the language is actually approachable.
