While the beginning of the story had me laughing out loud (gotta love auto-correct!), the cluelessness of the heroine got old for me really quickly.
I did finish the story, and it had its moments, but some Mary Sue-isms (like the scene with “Polly”, or May getting the better of a martial arts expert every single time) - especially in contrast to May's general lack of common sense and overall duh-ness - added to the eyeroll factor.
Remind me: Why was Ozzie attracted to May in the first place? It was made very, very obvious, though, why May was attracted to Ozzie. (Need I say it again, just in case anyone missed it? Starts with an M, ends with USCLES... sigh )
What I did like about this book:
I found some of the supporting characters really likeable and would like to read more about them (Felix :), Dev or Jenny, for instance). And some of the situations the characters found themselves in really had me laughing out loud.
On the more technical side: the writing itself was unobtrusive and did not distract from the story (which is a big plus for me! :) ), and there were only minor proof-reading issues (which seems to be a noteworthy rarity nowadays).
