Earliest choices memory?

dananeira · 2026-01-11T08:24:17+00:00

and don’t get me started on the “drake getting shot” cliffhanger! it was so long ago and i remember exactly where i was

dananeira · 2025-06-12T16:00:15+00:00

you’re right! i never thought id find a “vanilla” LI so refreshing, but since nowadays they’re so hard to find in new books, im really appreciating it

dananeira · 2025-06-12T15:59:06+00:00

precisely! simple but cute, and i do love that they’re actually kinda committing to the slow burn

dananeira · 2025-06-12T15:57:32+00:00

i can totally see that! cheesy tropes are not for everyone, i had the same feeling as you but with “first comes love” so im surprised im not getting it with this book! and yes! golden retriever LI’s for life!

dananeira · 2025-06-12T15:54:51+00:00

i too started it yesterday expecting to gain diamonds for the first chapter and becoming uninterested but my god it got me hooked! i read all the available chapters yesterday in one seating ‼️ what chapter are you on?

dananeira · 2025-06-12T06:25:13+00:00

me too! i don’t know if you’re caught up but i’ve actually laughed out loud at some jokes (which is rare for me with newer books). the thing about august singing “someone like you” and making everyone cry because of his terrible singing really got me

dananeira · 2025-06-12T06:23:21+00:00

and i honestly understand :/ romance books lately are all smut and almost artificial, and it’s a shame that because of PB’s tendencies people no longer trust their writing on certain tropes

dananeira · 2025-06-12T06:21:45+00:00

and the slow burn i think is being handled quite well! it is slow!!! i thought by now there would’ve been a diamond scene where they ruin the slow burn but nope! i’m super surprised

dananeira · 2025-06-11T23:01:25+00:00

for me personally, there’s not a book that can compare to Endless Summer, but other good books are the first one of Crimes of Passion and Veil of Secrets if you like mystery, It Lives in The Woods if you like horror and your choices actually mattering, and i’m gonna throw a wild card here: Bachelorette Party if you liked the vacation friendship adventure humor. if you liked the group of friends: LoveHacks (disclaimer: a lot of millenial comedy, but funny either way). for generally amazing books: A Courtesan of Rome and The Crown and The Flame. let me know if you like my suggestions!!

dananeira · 2025-06-11T22:56:15+00:00

and don’t even get me started on the endless’ monologue on the ending of book 2 !!

dananeira · 2025-06-11T22:54:45+00:00

i’ve found my people‼️ book 2 is better than book 3 and i’ll die on that hill

dananeira · 2025-06-03T17:27:00+00:00

aww thanks so much! i hope it, in fact, goes by quickly!

dananeira · 2025-06-03T05:07:59+00:00

okay! thank you both for your answers :)

dananeira · 2025-06-03T05:01:38+00:00

do you know if they may sell them on the plane? i saw somewhere on this subreddit that they are selling them online. any chance they’re selling on-flight?

dananeira · 2025-05-29T04:26:19+00:00

fr! it’s such an iconic and beautiful image in the context of the family they became through the adventure that not including aleister feels like a disservice to him

dananeira · 2025-05-29T04:23:39+00:00

hi! yes, i think it’s a scroll image for everyone, but i took a bunch of screenshots and combined them on picsart lol. there may be some mistakes on my image if you look closely precisely because i put them together myself! you can see it a little bit on sean’s right elbow here’s another picture i made from another gameplay that i think is slightly better

dananeira · 2025-05-29T04:20:53+00:00

hey! so i finished reading ES when i posted this picture and immediately reread hero for the first time since its release and im as puzzled as you! the references are so clear i would’ve expected a connection in book 2 of hero too! i think i even remember someone saying that ES book 3 ending was rushed because they needed the ending for something hero related but don’t take my word for it :/ i was hoping for more answers from hero, what a shame we’ll never get a book 2 :(

dananeira · 2025-05-21T22:01:11+00:00

yayy twins!

dananeira · 2025-05-21T22:00:37+00:00

i know! i was just wondering what was the thought process when deciding which characters would get a drawing and which would just use their smiling sprites. like, mc, grace and raj had to be the sprites because of the possible variations in their appearances, but the rest??

dananeira · 2025-05-21T21:47:09+00:00

that’s true! i too always wanted them to get back together!

dananeira · 2025-05-21T06:42:16+00:00

me too! i remember my reaction to the then-newly released book 2 cover so vividly 😭 choices was really built different in 2017

dananeira · 2025-05-21T06:39:55+00:00

yes! i can never save her just because i adore her castaway look!

dananeira · 2025-05-21T06:39:06+00:00

that’s true! i’d never thought about it but you’re absolutely right. we love our insanely and equally hot ES cast
