    “ Have you ever tried to do something you were in no way prepared to do just to spite an ex or try to show up his new spouse? This play delivers a hilarious smack down and then envelops you like a hot, sweaty hug. You're going to want to run with this one! ”

    “ Lovable, cute, hilarious. The relatable topic of wanting to be better than someone by any means made me want to keep reading. Friendship should be as important to everyone that it is to these two women. ”

    “ I really relate to this play on various levels and enjoy the smart, witty, and honest dialogue. Zubel nails some of my favorite types of friendships within 10 pages. Would love to see this produced in a festival somewhere. ”
