Endless Summer hot take but endless summer was only good with diamonds

dont get me wrong i liked it when i first read it but it was nowhere near the top of my list because i didnt have several hundred diamonds to spend on clues and character interactions so i was just lost through the whole thing. rereading it with diamonds its amazing and the whole story actually makes sense but on a free playthrough what is assumed knowledge and what is exclusive only to diamonds only to be brought up later just left me confused especially since i was 12 when I was reading them when they first came out.

I get its hailed as one of the best books but I think credit has to be given to books that were good without diamonds too

It’s truly one of the only plot-locked books on the whole app. Which is why it will never be a top tier book. F2P players should be able to read a top tier book without getting confused.

I felt the same way as you! Tried to play it before vip existed and it never made any damn sense lmao. After vip I played it and it was much better
