All’s well that ends well and this book was one of those

I loved that there was so much detail it was also really confusing, I felt that if I left for three minutes l would come back and be totally confused about what was going on. My favorite story is “all’s well that ends well.” My favorite character in “all’s well that ends well.”is Helena and Diana. I like all the love stories all is well that ends well is probably one of my favorites because it’s about this girl who really likes Bertram, but Bertram doesn’t like her back and Bertram in the beginning is a really bad person and at the end of the story he realizes that his actions have affected other others and ways that he was horrified by and he felt really bad and then he realized that Helena is a really good person and he fell in love with her. That’s probably one of my favorite things about that story. I love listening to this book. Thanks, making me laugh and have fun.
