This book was decent, but I can't say that it was good.  The story overall had a good feel, but the characters weren't developed at all.  Thirty year old Maggie was a walking contradiction.  Margene "Maggie" was shy especially around men, but she wasn't shy with this stranger Michael who happened to be her ex-best friend's boyfriend.  She had sex with him within a few minutes of meeting him, of course as revenge to ex-BFF who tortured her in high school.  Michael is home from his 5th deployment from Afghanistan, and is suffering from PTSD, but won't get help for it.Margene, who hates the nickname Mushy gets called this by Michael time and again after she expressly tells him that she doesn't like it.  He is very bossy, demanding, and not a nice person at all.  Ms. Clemons tried to give him some good qualities such as him being undercover caring, but it didn't outweigh his annoying qualities.  Maggie just let him run over her in most of the decisions in the book, and she wasn't able to stand by her convictions as far as what she wanted from him.  She explained Maggie's shyness which was due to her being overweight, but there was still that something missing from this book.
