This is now my favourite Shakespeare play. The characters are entertaining and loveable, with many of their decisions being questionable. The wit and humour is easy to understand and fun to read; the enemies to lovers were my favourite couple in this play. Loved every second of it - my only complaint is that it didn’t last longer.
