BARE NECESSITY

When a newspaper employee's best friend becomes the new hot story because of X-rated photographs her boyfriend posted on the Internet, Cara allows Emily to move in with her. The two begin the process of getting Emily's life back while trying to win love for Cara as well. The girls go through the usual pitfalls and scenarios while keeping the listener wondering what problem will pop up next. Unfortunately, Imogene Stubbs's narration is delivered in a haughty voice. The gruff and unfeminine voice she gives Cara is particularly unbelievable. The story is easy to listen to but lacks much to keep listeners interested. J.F.M.
