## Trivia

* This is the third book which allows players to know in advance in which chapters collectibles will become available, after *Baby Bump* and *Hot Couture*. Because of this, we can tell that the book will contain at least 15 chapters.
* In Chapter 1, when you meet Simon/Ava, the pop-up says: "The person you meet now will be with you for the rest of the story...", hinting that he/she is the only love interest in this book.
* Barrington was constructed in 1567.
* This is the first VIP book to be released weekly for non-VIPs instead of releasing all of the chapters at once.
	+ However, VIP players can still play the already-concluded early-access chapters.
	+ This marks the second time for non-VIPs to launch only a single chapter on a series debut since *Home for the Holidays*.
