Destiny T Apr 21 I have never cried as hard or as much with any other show. It is a beautiful friendship story. I called my best friends and let them know that I had to die first because I couldn’t go through what these girls did. I made an account here just to review this show. See more Mary H 01/20/2025 I loved this show. I am not a crier but I cried a lot. Their friendship and care for each other and their families was quite moving. See more Tanya C 07/10/2023 Cute, funny, romantic and heart warming with that over the top anime melodrama we all love. It really was a touching story of friendship, family, love & choices. I enjoyed it from start to finish, though the finish had me in tears. See more 03/17/2022 What a great show.
