"A penetrating, illuminating, occasionally heart-wrenching look at the pain of divorce and the true value of friendship as seen though the eyes of an adolescent girl. Dana Hill and Melora Hardin are terrific, unaffected, and believable. The same can be said of the production." -- Los Angeles Times

"Traumatic experiences brought on by parents' divorces proves a strong vehicle for this After School Special, and the Martin Tahse production is illuminating and dramatically sound." -- Variety
