So agreed on all of this. Everything you said. Completely. Especially #2 and #3.

I'm so sick of playing these innoncent goody-two shoes. I love shows that has the main character being a character who is R-E-A-L. As in, has problems, issues, some real life flaws or is broken or battered. But in Choices, every MC is an angel who would never hurt a fly, everyone loves, falls in love with, and can do no wrong. They don't get in bad moods, they're never sad, they don't hurt, and they don't have a broken personality. It is so damn fake.


 * 1) 3 is another big thing for me. I want these stories to feel real and I'd rather if PB being diverse was done in ways that was real, cultured, and made sense for the story. By just throwing in every thing they possibly need to makes it feel fake and insincere. Furthermore, I cannot applaud them for their attempts either when they exclude guys who like guys from playing their stories by making almost every book gender locked (-- they'd have to play as a girl)
