A swift, fun read.

Not bad - probably plays better live on stage than it does on the page. Unclear upon first reading what the overall themes are. I like the structure, and the characters moving in and out the retelling, but the silliness seemed to distract, for some reason. As did the numerous typos.

Going to read it again now, and see if it improves.

Funny and creative

It’s a very easy to read play and very enjoyable. The script is excellent. The reason for giving it four stars is because there are quite a few typos and errors that drove me crazy (eg. “cumbaya” instead of “kumbaya,” “to” instead of “too,” “quite” instead of “quiet,” etc.

A pleasant reading of sorts

Interesting read. I didn't have any expectations but I found the ending to be surprisingly pleasant. I don't want to ruin the ending but I ended up enjoying this little story. I thought it was very cute.

Amazing

The mystery and conflicts were so good and did not get old. Wow! Definitely recommend to everyone looking for a good play, and good monologues!

Disappointing and Pedestrian

This play seems to be written in a parallel universe in which misspellings and exaggerations are the makings of a riveting plot.

A fun read! Makes little sense at times, but thats the beauty of it. Great characters, didn't become boring and had some darker moments too. Worth a read.

Had some good usable monologues but the plot was all over the place.

I have never given a book/play 1 star before but this was just awful

I had to read this for an acting exam cause I’m doing Jill’s “I ate the divorce papers” monologue and it was a very pleasant read

[Lex Lanigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so funny, and extremely bizarre. The humor was so unique, yet very enjoyable, and the ending was strangely heartfelt.

It is a cute play

I got this for the monologues, the play is cute with funny moments. There are some spelling errors but nothing that can't be over looked.

Great monologues, but overall, this play was a bit disappointing. I liked how the playwright used the quality of the theater in a different way than most plays do. However, parts of the story itself completely threw me off. On top of that, the typographical errors and font they used for the back cover just made it worse. Unfortunately, I wouldn't read this again.
