 “You can't do extraordinary things in the world if you're spending time criticizing others because they don't look or behave the way you think they should.”

Dean finds Blue stranded on the side of the road and offers to give her a ride. A ride turns into her staying with him for a while.

This of course is another example of SEPs great character development. This has a lot of found family and repairing of past relationships. There is top-notch banter between the fmc and mmc and a lot of just slice of life day to day happenings as several worlds collide and get a bit messy. It was very entertaining and sweet at times. I was not a big fan of the last act split drama because it seemed unnecessarily mean but apparently it worked out. If you don't like your men with an extra dose of machismo (which he is an american footballer so it fits) you probably won't like this guy. But I really loved Blue and her spine. 

Written in 2007 I believe, there are some dated jokes but nothing malicious. Anna Fields does great with the audio.
