    “ A very funny play about the search for love and how, at the end of the day, all we really need are our girlfriends. Lovely! ”

    “ There is so much life and love held in the few pages of GIRLFRIENDS. The dialogue is rich and detailed, there are many character details to mine from their words. Really lovely and well written. ”

    “ A tiny but truly delightful tidbit. Simple but sublime. A wonderful work for two women "of some age." ”
