3.0

A lot darker (and potentially deeper) than previous installments. I get what Ruby Dixon was going for here, and in theory plot and character elements made sense, but I wasn't a fan of the way some more sensitive issues were handled, and Tiffany's passivity just wasn't super well-done. I loved the romantic aspects, however--it just felt like she was a bit too excited about the next pairing to give the character development the time it needed here.
