Hard to hear

The music it Loud and unnecessary. It’s very distracting. The back round noise also over power the characters and you can’t hear them at various points

Fun story, horrid music

Ugh. The drum/guitar at the beginning, ending and sometimes middle of every chapter is too loud, too harsh and doesn’t work with the story.
The story is fun, voices are done very well and a believable story.

Ok

Music was annoying. Liked the characters. Found some of the situations not quite believable. A good listen for a long car ride.

Breath of fresh air

I’m almost 48 & I relate on every level. When a woman hits 40, she truly becomes invisible. Even though the story is fiction, I still envy the close bond of friendship the four woman had together.

Needs some audio tweaking.

I really enjoyed it but the background noise was way to loud. I couldn’t hear the characters part of the time.

Great story horrible sound effects

The story and narrators were great but the sound quality was horrible. For a great deal of the story crickets are heard in the background, which is fine but they were so loud it made it difficult to hear the actual characters speaking. It was almost annoying enough to stop listening entirely.
