Siblings

They once snuck out late at night when Bookish Sister wanted to see Neil deGrasse Tyson speaking at a planetarium.

Cousin
Cousin has always been jealous of Bookish Sister and her siblings because she thinks that Nana loved them more than her. Now, after Nana's death, she tries to get the whole inheritance for herself by sabotaging her cousins' tasks.

Blaire Hall
Blaire was Bookish Sister's idol and she previously wanted to get an internship under her. However, after getting the internship, she realized how cold Blaire was and abandoned her former dream career. They ran into each other in Rules of Engagement: Newlyweds, Chapter 3. She told Blaire that she and Audrey are starting a business together and Blaire is impressed. They parted ways after they talked.

Audrey
Bookish Sister meets Audrey in a salsa class aboard the cruise. They become dance partners and also very good friends. If the player chooses so, Bookish Sister has a romantic relationship with Audrey. Audrey helps her finish her list and films her while doing so. She invites Audrey to Main Character's wedding in Book 3, where they decide to start a company together.

Paolo
Bookish Sister meets Paolo when she went to London to get an internship under Blaire Hall. Paolo was another intern and Bookish Sister's competition, as only one could secure a place in Mansingh International. At first he is rude and demanding to her, even trying to get a coffee from her when they first meet, but later apologizes and go to a pub where the player can choose to romantically advance towards him, However, nearing the end of the pub visit, Paolo steals the badge from Bookish Sister to gain an advantage in the internship. In Book 2, Chapter 10, she can either give him a piece of mind or push him into a fountain.

They met again in Rules of Engagement: Newlyweds, Chapter 3, in the airport. Paolo wants to apologize for what he did and invited her to dinner (premium choice). They talked and he asked for her forgiveness for what he did. She can either forgive him or get back at him. They parted ways after their meeting.

Kevin
It's mentioned by Party-Girl Sister that she used to disguise as her to break up with him.
