My Least Favourite Book/Series
Passport to Romance: soo... boring without diamonds, it only makes me miss City of Love: Paris. So many things are wrong and could have been avoided by proofreading. Main characters are mostly irresponsible and Ahmed should abandon them instead of risking his job. And why oh why do they travel south when they need to go north? And instead of taking another means of transportation, they waste time. Why do they celebrate so long before Ahmed's game and why is Ahmed still on the team? Why isn't Ahmed with his team to talk strategy? Why is the MC browsing through Elliot's stuff without his knowledge live on camera? Why do they always sleep through the alarms? I wouldn't want to hire someone who keeps being late... at least the Berlin team consists of Water-Atts lol and it's only good to make fun of everything that is wrong...

Sunkissed: boring, nothing really happens, expected to pay for things like marinara sauce, spending time with family, etc. Don't like any of the characters except maybe Heathcliff and Sai who rarely appear in the story. Nate is creepy and not professional.

Ride or Die: while some chapters in the middle were entertaining... terrible story, terrible best friend, all love interests are criminals, the only two interesting characters - Dad and Darius - are seriously sidelined, forced to pick one of three terrible characters for prom and forced to cuddle instead of going stag

Others in no particular order

Home for the Holidays: lack of interesting LI personality, both MC and Nick are wrong

Endless Summer: +character 1 = -character 2; tough choices; the lightning effects; most of the story in Books 2 and 3; no matter if you found all free clues in an act, in 7 out of 8 acts only premium clues count; annoying characters such as Cetus, Yvonne and Malatesta; Yvonne's faulty French; the ending; the best characters weren't available as LI; did I already mention the ending?

America's Most Eligible : +character 1 = -character 2, I don't like reality TV, no interesting characters, some terrible clothes, forced to pick one of four uninteresting love interests, forced into an unwanted engagement!

Haunting of Braidwood Manor: spent diamonds on Victor and stayed single without proper explanation. Found out I'd have to spend a lot more to change that, too expensive for such a short book

It Lives Beneath: since I played without diamonds, Parker left and told MC not to contact him anymore, way too many premium choices

Red Carpet Diaries 3: a complete mess that shouldn't have passed they way it is. Way to ruin a series that started well and then went downhill in Book 2 onward. They should have proofread what they wrote. There are too many storylines (filming, stalker, wedding) but none of them are executed well and therefore they all fell short. No matter the LI, s/he was mostly absent - which is especially problematic with Thomas who was introduced later in the series and therefore less involved. If you didn't know him from Hollywood U (like me), you literally had to pay to get any information on him. Then there's the absurd situation of ruining a story to be adapted into a film by cutting the female character and making the book about yet another man fighting another man. All things that would have made the story unique were cut. I am glad I didn't spend diamonds to help Chazz and Crash as in Book 3, Chazz becomes annoying and they are a happy couple regardless. Plus... Marco got an identity crisis and became Julio, and Markus forgot he's actually married?

Save the Date: mostly annoying MC and mostly annoying interaction with Justin Mercado (Best Man). Had to restart Chapter 1 because one flirty options gave way too many romance points. Luckily, it gets a little better later on.
