Pudge or Jake for Alaska?

She really loved Jake. But, Pudge is so sweet. I go with her decision. But, if I had the option for myself, I would choose Pudge.

Alaska is too impulsive to be in a relationship with anybody. She wasn't herself with Jake. She went mushy. And with Pudge she was just having fun.
I love Pudge but I think he liked Alaska to much so they wouldn't actually last or be a good couple so i'd say Takumi aha
Personally I don't think Pudge new Alaska well enough, if they were to get together she probbly wouldn't stay with him for long since they are very different. For Jake I think she did truly like him but it wasn't that serious.
I was about 26 when I read it so my interest level was really low. I thought that the main character Pudge was pretty annoying I don't know why. I really don't think she would have lasted with either of these guys. In fact like someone else said maybe the Colonel and her would be a good couple? Her and Pudge were just friends honestly.
Jack is an ass...i like Pudge but still i can't imagine her with him too.
I disliked Jake from the beginning bcuz : #teampudge!!!!
But there were times when Pudge annoyed the shit out of me especially after Alaska's death.

Neither. Even though it seems that Jake made Alaska happy I think he was just there for the time being. From my point of view I thought Alaska saw Pudge more in that cute puppy/baby way.
Pudge all the way. I liked his attitude, I mean, the way he made friends with Colonel and Alaska it looked so real not just playing around.
Pudge, he was really in love with her and they fit together. But I guess the only way to know is if you read a book from Alaskas perspective, cause what if she loved Jake more? And he was a really good guy, so I really cant choose.
Alaska loved herself too much to let anyone close enough to really love her
Jake. I don't see Pudge as her type. And I don't see her staying with him that long if they did get together.
I think the Colonel and Alaska would of made a better pair than Pudge or Jake, and even then I wouldn't even want them to together.
I agree Jake was just a fling that she was somewhat 'happy' in and I felt for Jake a bit, until Alaska died and he was an idiot.
I think Pudge thought he was in love but really he just never really had a friend around, espeically a girl and Alaska was kind of the first girl really. And since she was the first girl that notices him and all that then he's gonna think he's in love or something.
He had no clue on anything! I mean come on, him and Lara had to got to Alaska to ask how to give a blow job. That's saying something. Lara and Pudge were more alike in that sense yet I think what Lara felt for pudge is probably similar to what Pudge thought he felt for Alaska, just less.
Over all I think that Alaska should have been left to her devices because in reality she shouldn't have been with Jake, but if she weren't with him then I think she would of probably teased Pudge and that's all that's to it.

I think Alaska's relationship with herself is most important. Jake and Pudge to her were temporary, although she said she really loved Jake. I think the only successful match Alaska could have is herself.
Neither. Jake was just a passing phase. Pudge and Alaska are completely different from one another. It would have never worked out. I would have rather paired the Colonel with Alaska.

Neither, it was obvious jake didnt love alaska, he was just using her, but pudge and alaska make a horrid couple, would gave never worked out
Neither, Jake was just a passing phase, but i also couldn't see Pudge in a serious relationship with Alaska. They are way too different.
As much as I loved Pudge, it wouldn't have worked out if they had a chance to be together. I think that it was better that she was with Jake when she died but after she died Jake seemed like a jerk.
I hate Pudge (at some parts) especially when Alaska died. He was so selfish. All he could think of was kissing Alaska that night and I hate him for that. As for Jake, well.. he's a jerk. I really don't know, maybe it was nice that Alaska died because (for me) no one really deserves her other than herself.
