4.5 stars for The Importance of Being Earnest
4 stars for Lady Windermere's Fan
2 stars for Salomé
4 stars for A Woman of No Importance
5 stars for An Ideal Husband

All except for Salomé were delightful. Found the conversation around marriage and relationships to be very interesting. Salomé was confusing though. You'll probably have to be similar with the biblical story to enjoy it. An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest are my favourites

This is little left to be said about the humor and intelligence in the writings of Mister Wilde. If you haven't read his works, get on it!

It was hilarious. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because I had to get used to reading a play. And I don’t think reading a play is necessarily for me. 
Nonetheless Oscar Wilde I love you. And come back to life, I need another novel. Please

Update: just kidding I am going to give it five stars because I’m wilde for Mr Wilde and he deserves nothing less 🧎‍♀️
