#and since the plot hinges on scandal’s you’d think that they would be really big scandals when they weren’t at all

finished foreign affairs and i think this might be the most poorly written choices book. ever.
#and i’ll tell you why#for a book about politics it really wasn’t a present as you would think it is#like so much of the plot’s problems had to do with the paparazzi and regular college shit that you would think it was about celebrities#and since the plot hinges on scandal’s you’d think that they would be really big scandals when they weren’t at all#in fact the only big one was a diamond option that in context makes no sense to agree to#the only time the plot got interesting was when the fake dating stuff started and that ended so fast i don’t even know what the point was#not to mention how much it doesn’t make sense depending on how your love interest looks#cause blaine is a black man in my book and he looks nothing like the two options to fake date#speaking of blaine did we ever find out about the whole suspension thing i can’t remember#as for the other lis tatum randomly left us and then came back and i don’t know what the point of it was#but i guess anya’s storyline made sense so there’s that#the mystery on the other hand was just bad#like whoever was behind our scandals stuff was so obvious#the fact that our mom’s campaign rival was involved was so utterly obvious that i ruled it out#so that was disappointing#and then i think it was clear to everyone that winston was behind the scandals anyways#going back to the politics stuff it was all so low stakes#the way it all worked was so unrealistic idk if that’s the world building to blame#and our main characters relationship with their mom was just plain uninteresting#ALSO unsurprisingly that diplomacy points system made no difference i see pixelberry are still afraid to give different endings#oh and the ending was rushed and corny the end#foreign affairs#fa#choices#choices: stories you play#okay last thing that didn’t make sense and then i’m done#how our mom’s political rival put in all this effort to hide their identity and then when they have to go meet anya in person#THEY DONT EVEN TRY TO DISGUISE THEMSELVES?? like that made no sense
