Managed
by Kristen Callihan
First re-read thanks to Fated Mates and I'm glad this latest episode prompted me to do this because when I read this series the first time around, it was as the books were first published. This time, I can read them consecutively which allows me to see how these wonderful characters in this universe change and grow over time.
I don't think I realized the first time around how similar Libby and Scottie were in their tendency/preference to hold themselves apart from everyone. Libby's isolation was largely because she was physically removed from her friends and made no effort to reach out, and Scottie's is because he puts up invisible barriers to protect himself from all the people around him.
Sophie is the perfect person to knock him out of his comfort zone and it's a lovely thing to see him slowly open up to his friends.
There are some brilliant comedic moments in this, which is typical of Kristen Callihan's storytelling. The karaoke night on Scottie's bus; the pop culture discussions about Star Trek vs. Star Wards, Twilight, the surprise that Scottie likes to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer....this was a lovely visit back in their world.
