Ok so I contacted @playchoices support and they told me that The Crown and the Flame doesn't have an option to import your choices from previous book.
So hey, Pixelberry, put a disclaimer at the start of book one saying that all diamonds you spend with weapons and allies are ABSOLUTELY WASTED. You clowns have money to change TRR chapters but don't fix this shit. Talk about being useless, huh?

Devon is sitting on the bed, curled up tight with her knees tucked under her chin. She hangs up before setting her phone down on the covers. Mayor Green had called Devon’s parents, then they called her, apologizing profusely and promising they'd be on the next flight in. After being checked out in a hospital, everyone else’s parents had driven them home, and it was mortifying having Mayor Green drive her instead, Stacy and Devon huddled in the backseat silently as they drove past the woods. They offered to let Devon stay at the Green house, but facing them would have been too much for her to bear.
She ended up regretting that as she spent the night in the empty house surrounded by woods, kept awake by creaking sounds and her tears. Though she didn't want to face anyone right now, the solitude was getting to her.
“Knock knock,” comes a whisper from behind the door, accompanied by two light taps.
Despite everything, Devon smiles softly at the intrusion, whispering, “Come in.”
The door is slowly pushed open, and Andy hobbles in on a pair of crutches. He flops onto the bed next to Devon, leaning the crutches onto the mattress and pulling his good knee up to his chest as well, mirroring her.
“I used the key under the mat.”
“That was meant for emergency use only,” she jokes with a hollow smile and Andy smiles back gently.
“Tom’s out of the hospital…”
“Good,” says Devon, legitimately relieved to know that everyone that Tom was okay.
“How are you?”
Devon shrugs, mulling the question over in her mind without being able to answer.
“You? How's your leg?”
“Better,” Andy mumbles back, mouth twisted up wryly.
Devon scoots closer on the bed, leaning her head against his shoulder. Andy's arm wraps around Devon and he pulls her against him, sighing deeply.
“Do you want to talk a-”
“No.” Devon tenses up, eyes screwed shut, and Andy shh-es softly in an attempt at comforting her. They’re both silent for a moment before Andy attempts to ask again.
“You know the police are going to ask you what happened…”
“Yeah, I guessed as much,” she says through gritted teeth.
“You have to prepare an answer.”
“And what am I supposed to tell them, Andy? Jane was an evil ghost haunting us and the only way to get her to stop was for one of us to take her place? And I-” She stops, choked up with emotion, and clears her throat. Andy rubs a hand up and down her arm, attempting to soothe her, but she shakes her head violently and continues. “I didn't want to die. I was a coward, and rather than take Jane's place I watched Noah… stab himself and turn into the monster, and I ran! I let both of them die!”
Andy is rocking her side to side, making soothing sounds under his breath, and Devon realizes that there are tears streaming down her face. She angrily wipes them away, tucking her head down even as she revels in the feeling of safety from Andy's strong arms around her.
“It's not your fault. You had no choice,” he mumbles into her hair.
“I literally only had one choice! Noah or me! And I let him die. Mrs. Miller has no one. First Jane and now Noah and- and it was so selfish…”
Andy tightens his grip on her, holding her tightly as she shakes.
“You're not a bad person for not wanting to die.”
“Noah did,” Devon reveals under her breath.
They are both silent for a moment, and it seems deafening in the empty house.
“That's not your fault. He needed help.”
“Yeah, and instead of supporting him and trying to get him help, I ignored him for 10 years, left him to sink deeper into depression and then let him die.”
“I've been there. And even at my lowest point, I would never do anything to hurt you… or anyone else I cared about. He had deeper issues than that, and you can't blame yourself for wanting to live.” Andy pressed his lips to the top of Devon’s head, feeling her breathing even out as she calmed down.
“I'm sorry I wasn't there for you either,” she mumbles tearfully. He smiles into her hair and squeezes her arm soothingly.
“I know if I'd ever reached out you'd have been there. And you're here for me now.”
Devon tilts her head up and places a soft kiss on the line of Andy's jaw before burying her face back into his neck.
“I don’t wanna talk to the police,” Devon mumbles, shaking hands fumbling with the hem of his shirt.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to right now. I’m here,” he whispers back, clutching her even tighter.
I honestly can’t express how much I love this book so far. It’s been a long time since I actually enjoyed any story (off the app), because mostly they’ve all been lacking something. ‘Endless Summer’ has EVERYTHING. I went into this thinking, “Trapped on an island with multiple love interests? 😍🏝🌋Boring”. OMG I was so WRONG. There’s just as much build in the actual story plot as there is in the romance! And such a variety in cast! And a MYSTERY?!?!? PUZZLES!?!?! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 ‘Endless Summer’ has officially ruined me for any other thriller-romance stories. I’ve never ever spent money on an app before, and yet I was so enraptured with 'Endless Summer’ I’ve been willing to hit that button for 💎diamonds💎 so I can get the most out of the story. I have yet to regret it, it was ENTIRELY worth it. 💰💰💰 Highly, highly recommend 'Endless Summer’. Out of five stars I’d give it ten!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 @playchoices Congrats on your one year anniversary!! 🎉🎉🎉Thank you so much for giving us such a great app and intriguing stories to enjoy. To many more!!! 🥂🥂🥂
