asked:
Does anyone know what happened to Randy? Mary Sue was talking to Charlie and mentioned Randy's broken arm and spending time in the ER with her. I don't recall it being a part of the story line. I'm listening to the audio version of this book and have gone back a good bit to listen to it again to see if I missed it, but couldn't find it. Did I miss it, or is it possible it was edited out of the audio version?

The incident appears in chapter 26: "Randi tripped and landed hard on her left arm while we were out on the square" (Marisue to Charlie via telephone, page 189 in hardcover edition).

You're right. Randi breaking her arm wasn't part of the story line. It wasn't just your audio book that skips Randi's mishap. That scene wasn't in the book either. In the book, Charlie texts Mary Sue and she responds with something like "just left the er" and when she talks to him later, she tells him that Randi broke her arm. I think it's a little drastic for the author to break a character's arm just to explain why her friend didn't answer her cell phone right away. Some of us simply don't have our cell phone in our hand every single minute 24/7. Does Charlie go to the toilet no hands?

She was busy talking and without realizing that she was stepping off of a curb fell forward and broke her fall with her arm.

I still don't know the answer to this question, but I figured out that the audio file that I was listening to has two places that stops mid-sentence and moves the book forward to the next chapter. I am guessing that the file skipped over Randy's mishap.
