Well . . . 
 First of all can I just say, I love Jase. Yes, yes I loved him. He was so sweet and wonderful and forgiving. Just the perfect boy. BUT, sadly, he did not beat out my top love: Jace Wayland/Morgenstern/Herondale/Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments series, or Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss. But he is definitely one of the top boys for me. 
 And Sam . . . yes, I did like her. I didn't necessarily understand her because I'm not like her. I didn't live a life like hers and some of her decisions would not have been ones I'd have made, but I didn't dislike her at all. There was really only one point in the book where I got really irritated with her, and it wasn't for what she did, but for what she DIDN'T do. When/if you read, you'll know what I mean. 
 Now, the reason this book did not get 5 stars from me. There were a few scenes--all having to do with the physical aspects of the relationship between Jase and Sam--that felt off to me. I've tried to pinpoint exactly what it was about those scenes that bothered me, and all I can come up with is that they just felt too . . . sudden. Like they just didn't fit quite right. We'd be reading along, reading along, then all of a sudden BAM, something happened. It felt like there was just no build up or something, they were just suddenly (view spoiler)[ having their first kiss or their shirts were coming off or they were suddenly talking about having sex. The actual sex scene was fine tough, surprisingly. (hide spoiler)]. And there had been really no thoughts going on in Sam's head about this, none of that yearning or whatever, it just happened suddenly and it just didn't work for me. I like a slow burn, a slow work up and all the feelings of need and want to be happening. This book isn't like that. 
 Otherwise, yes, I really liked this. I liked that it had angst and drama and fluffy, sweet romance. I would definitely recommend this one for romance lovers like me.
