That is true. It is also true that the fourth of five love interests was introduced in book three (although from what I remember it would not work to date someone else and try to break up with them so you could date this love interest, because of timing). My character was dating Chris (still is) and if I recall correctly, the option to break up with him was near the end of the book, which only helps with dating the fifth love interest who you can't date until book 2 of The Sophomore. . . although I've heard in that book you can actually pick any of the love interests to date. Not sure if it's true or not, because that is a very specific set of circumstances. And if you didn't, you became more serious/exclusive with them. Considering how book 2 ended, I would have to say that the option to break up or get more serious was the choice made at the end of book 2 for High School Story rather than book 3, so they did something like that, but a book earlier. Although I think at the beginning of book 3 there was a chance to pretend you weren't dating anyone in books 1 and 2 and then in book 4 I think there was a chance to claim you broke up with your love interest which presumably would make it happen.

I guess there really were more chances for this than I realized. Maybe they'll give you a chance to break up later in the book, not that I actually want that chance, but I know for some people it would be nice to have that chance, so if they can do such a thing in such a way that makes sense and doesn't feel like it's coming out of left field (like the chance to break up with Chris in book 3 did for me), then I'm cool with them implementing it.
