3.5 stars. Jase takes a liking to Carly almost immediately while she's in New Jersey for the summer visiting her father. Carly is a little skeptical because Jase has a reputation and he's got an on-off girlfriend. They hang out and get to know each other as friends such that when Carly leaves to return to college, they still keep in touch. The long distance segment was realistic. I had trouble with following their conversations and feelings, though. It seemed to progress quickly but I didn't quite see that level of chemistry yet. Jase also has a secret that forces him to push Carly away even if that's not what he really wants. From there, it's a lot of push and pull as well as hot and cold between them. Jase was pretty cocky and smug, which wasn't always a flattering look on him. Carly, as defiant as she was, also didn't hold her resolve as consistently as she could have. They seemed like an unlikely couple and while that's not unusual, their dynamic didn't completely convince me. However, Jase does the right thing any guy in love does, he makes an effort to regain Carly's affection without pushing her over the edge.
