What format is the CD in?

If she has burned this CD with some strange method on the PC then you 
won't be able to open it, but the standard CD format is pretty much 
that - standard.

If she has made the CD without closing it so that she can add more 
sessions to it at a later date then you might have trouble (although 
Mac OS X can read multisession disks). Macs can also read PC CD-ROMs.

See if she can burn a straight forward data CD for you.
