Jase was a more emotional read than I expected it to be. This story is a roller coaster ride. There are so many ups and downs to this story and relationship. Jase and Carly at first glance seem to be complete opposites, but then as the story goes on, they seemed more and more alike to me. And man oh man, they were all over the place as a couple. Extremely hot when they were together, but they had more than their fair share of bumps in the road and a lot of the time they were one step forward, and one bigger step back. But overall, their tumultuous journey together made for a read that felt realistic and was enjoyable. It wasn't perfect, but then again real life very rarely is.

Carly is super sheltered. She is a smart girl that is 19 and goes to Stanford but she is extremely inexperienced, I don't think she had ever been kissed before she met Jase. She described herself as being a shy geek girl, and while I did think that she was smart and very into science, reading and school, I didn't find her shy at all. She was quiet when she first met Jase, but after day 3 or 4 she seemed anything but shy. And then after that she didn't have any problem letting people know what she was thinking. I liked her a lot, but I found her to be more hotheaded, like Jase, than quiet and shy. (which is why I thought that they were more alike than they would care to admit.)

Jase is a womanizer. Never sticking with one girl too long. He thinks all girls are the same. Jealous, possessive, and super controlling. Which is why Carly intrigued him so much. She didn't seem to be any of those things and he was immediately drawn to her. There was a bit of insta- love but if you push through that first part, their relationship totally blossoms and it becomes more than that insta-attraction. M.J. Fields does a good job delving into her characters, and I felt like I really got to know the two main characters.

Jase is told in Dual Narrative, but it is mainly from Carly's POV. Jase's chapters were much shorter and just randomly scattered throughout the story. It worked for me. The plot in Jase is very fast paced. At first, I thought it felt a little choppy because everything was happening so fast, but I quickly adapted to the flow of the book, and I found myself getting into the story and just riding the tide that the plot takes you on. There were plenty of twists and turns going on in the story. I started to feel bad for Carly and Jase, they just couldn't seem to catch a break. One thing after another kept happening to them. This story was an emotional roller coaster ride for me. Jase and Carly worked well together. They each did things that annoyed me, but overall they were both good characters and in the end, I was rooting for them. Which for me, is what it's all about. Jase felt a little too rushed and choppy for me at the start, but overall it was an enjoyable read. I can see tons of people falling in love with Jase (the character and the book) because he is a bad boy with a gooey marshmallow center.
