    “ A well-crafted and pointed look at couples and their longevity (or lack of same.) Darkly hilarious and true-to-life in the best way. Also deserves credit for being a 10-minute play that would actually run 10 minutes. ”

    “ This play is hilarious! I saw it in the Valdez Play Slam, and it stood out for its wit and pointed commentary. Sharp, true, and perfectly timed. I hope to see more of Andrea's work. ”

    “ From the point of view of someone who works in the wedding industry, this rings so true. There are times, you see a couple and you "just know" when a couple is going to work and when it isn't. Usually you can tell by how the guy treats his bride to be, such in the case here. This short play is funny, timely, that rings true about the wedding industry while reminding us how to treat the person we love and how true love presents itself. ”
