In it's new February issue, Cleveland Magazine featured Amy Should Be Forty as part of its "Audio Files" section. The publication lauded the series as having "arguably amplified Mihaljevic's tale to its widest audience in years."
"I approached it as a person who could be having a shared experience," Horansky, who lives in Bay Village and was born three years before Mihaljevic, told Cleveland. "That's how I found a voice for it: not thinking of it as a news story, but as a person who could be living a parallel life."
