And I would always imagine, “Wow, I wish I could have a sound effect here, or some music here” and now with this Audible version, it's all come to life: there's voices and sound effects and music and it just really brings this other dimension to this work, which is just magical.

And what about Lois, Mo’s best buddy and Casanova about town? She’s broken a thousand hearts in her day, but can she protect her own from the powers of Emma, the sultry divorcee?
