    Update: miss you!

    Previous: I am so in love with this show already. Very much here for a celebration of female friendship across all ages, but I’m loving exploring it during this mid-life age demo when it can be tougher to keep up close friendships due to family obligations, etc. Jenny Slate soon? Her new show Dying for Sex portrays a friendship really worth discussing!

    These gals are so sweet and funny. Every episode is heartfelt and hilarious. Wish Jessi and Liz were 2 gals in my friend circle. Every episode feels like a sit down & reconnect with 2 friends I’ve known forever.
