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 )
