Review


This episode of Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce was definitely an improvement. There were fewer silly sex scenes and crazy drunken antics, which helps. Of course, the episode brought the emotions from everyone. Fights and sobbing galore. Abby’s miscarriage was definitely a low point, but her friends were able to bring her back to life and help her seal her book deal. With things going so well, the future could get really scary. The episode deserves a 7 out of 10.
