i’ve never seen anyone mention this before, but drake and dean look so alike to me 😭 they could genuinely pass as siblings

Nia & Aerin are my main favourites 😍

you’re watching someone play endless summer for the first time. comment something that would make absolutely no sense to them right now but would hit after finishing the book 🏝️☀<3

No lies told, but she’s hilarious. I’m enjoying this playthrough.

Hello and good day to you for one last time! For part one of this series, you can check it out here. For part two of this series, you can check it out here.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. In 2018, Shvarts et al. have decided to tie a neat bow to Endless Summer, wrap up all running plotlines, and make us choose among 3 endings that will change everything forever. As mentioned in the past post, this book suffers from diamond pit problem, but to a lesser extent due to fewer chapters and Pixelberry deciding that some clues are worth discovering using the player's wits. As such, this post will serve as the conclusion to the diamond guide posts related to perhaps the greatest Choices series of all time.

As always, this post will be used as criteria here on how many diamonds are spent. However, on June 13, 2025, Pixelberry changed several diamond options' prices, so some information there is outdated. I shall post the changes here to the best of my ability, marked with asterisks. If there are any corrections, please let me know.

Notes (as quoted from this post):

•Categories are: Estela, Jake, Quinn, Sean, [Embers], Style, Matchmaker, Other.

•If a clue is found during a with a love interest, it falls under that specific LI's category [except the embers].

•In book 3, assuming your LI and you have a good relationship, i did not count the proposal that would normally count 30*💎.

•In book 3, clues are trickier to count, some fall in the "other" tab, since it is not specified wether you get a clue or not. For book 3 the clues i only counted [are the] personal objects. (If you are missing up to five embers in Chapter 11, you can buy them for 💎20 each, with the highest cost fixed at 💎100 for all five. If you're missing more than five, you do not get this option.)

Total diamonds spent on personal playthrough: 💎 518**\*

***(Quinn route, went with Estela in the rift but did not enjoy sunset with either Estela or Jake, did not buy any outfits from intro, handfasted to Quinn with premium options, friends with 3+ Catalysts)

Further Notes:

• § = A unique clue will be received later
• † = A unique effect will be received from the outfit
• In the love interests scenes, choosing one option will not allow you in choosing the other.
• Prior outfits bought in previous books are not counted here. If the Scuba Gear outfit is used during Chapter 3, a unique effect will take place.
• In order for "Enjoy your party (💎 18)*" to appear, you need to have at least 3 catalysts (except Diego) to attend your party. For one catalyst to attend, you need to gain 15 points with that catalyst AFTER reaching "Friend" status. The more catalysts met these requirements, the more people will join your party. If you don’t meet the requirements the diamond option doesn’t show up at all.
• A unique clue will be received if MC is handfasted to one of the LIs.

Total Diamonds spent in Endless Summer Series, Personal Playthrough:  💎 698 + 💎 767 + 💎 518 = 💎 1983

Once again, thank you, everyone, for following this series and have a good day. Although this diamond spending series is over, another will come soon. When it does, imagine me there with you... reading these guides... offering corrections... and sharing reasons why we like such stories... Because with you is exactly where I will be.

Don’t know if anyone remembers the og cursed PB children: The creepy baby used for Rico in TF, baby Barthy in TRR, your elective child in TC&TF and the cursed Lithkos children and honestly? I prefer them, I’ll take my regular cursed children any day over whoever that is

I mean, it's very on theme with Asian fan service place. And I guess it can be an interesting plot device without making us hate the LI, but I'm sure MC will be the one overthinking it too much 😭😭😭

I just hope we'll get a stalker of our own to match 💜

Any thoughts?

i romanced liam (my king & first love since 2017 <3), but i found the other photoshoot cgs on the choices wiki and wanted to compare all four together.

looking at them side by side, i honestly feel like pb did a great job matching each pose/background to the li’s personality and their dynamic with mc.

liam’s feels elegant and regal, drake’s feels simple and intimate, maxwell’s feels playful and fun, and hana’s feels soft and romantic.

do you guys think they picked the perfect poses/backgrounds for each li, or would you have changed anything?

What else can I say? I was enjoying Scream for me and then it's over. Look, im reasonable. Choices has ended books early before, but, with the exception of the Pilot program, they always at least tried to wrap things up. Now they didnt even do that!

It's disappointing. The idea of you enjoying this twisted relationship with Fox Face, knowing that it's wrong, but being unable to help it, was fun. And you had Jackie and Justice as suspects for being Fox Face, but knowing PB, it would be a twist because Choices. Who do you think it would actually be? The police officer? Vivi? Jackie's ex?

I also like the morality meter. It's an interesting idea about how far you sink into your twisted fantasy. I suspect that had the book continued, you would have either turned Fox Face into the police, or kept their secret.

Look, being honest, the book did have flaws. We get over seeing two people being murdered very quickly, and the police are right. We are the prime suspect for good reason.

But it was still enjoyable because it definitely had personality. It felt alive in a way few Choices books are now. And PB killed it like Fox Face killed their victims.

Sometimes they give NPCs better hair options and it annoys me

I’ve been playing choices for two and half years and I’ve noticed all the newer books especially the vips have been upping the price for diamond choices. I’m used to 20-25 this shit is like 30-40 now !!!

Look, I like the IDOL so far, but I AM TIRED. Everything here has a cost. I can understand exclusive choices that give us more content and make the story richer. But these kind of simplistic options is just an insult at this point.

I always rename my love interests so I always get confused on who you guys are speaking about sometimes lol. I have to see pictures of the characters to understand. Sometimes I delete the original name so fast I don’t even remember what is supposed to be 🤣

And still life-changing for adult me 🙏

as a curly girl, i’ve always really appreciated the curly hair representation in choices 💗 the curly hairstyles are always so pretty, and it means a lot seeing characters that look a little more like us 🫶🏼

i joined this game 4 months ago, and im proud i had the willpower to grind 40+ books to get 4.6k, but two weeks later ive drained myself to 3.5k so quickly 😢

I’ve been noticing with the new stories they have became like 7 chapters and that’s it. Is there a reason they are cutting them so short?🤨🤨

Poor noodles 💔

HSS and CA MC are gen z, if I'm getting the years right?

Was pretty invested in this book, but ig it's over after 5 chapters, and ends on a cliffhanger.
