    I really enjoyed reading this. The characters felt real, and there were several times I laughed out loud. It had sort of a "Steel Magnolias" feel to it, but can be set in any part of the country. It has three good parts for adult women, and doesn't demand anything complicated in the areas of sets and lighting. And what's not to like about a show with this life rule: "Everything looks brighter with chocolate"?

    I loved the dynamic between the three sisters. Each had their own issues with relationships. The play explores how different types of women experience love in various ways. This is a comedy with a lot of heart.
