how to get a house you love:

PNMs worry every year about whether or not they'll be able to get a bid from one of their favorite houses, but the way to get a bid from a house you love is really easy!

Just love all of them.

Seriously, every chapter here is great, and there's things to love about all of them. When I rushed, I ranked houses from 1-10 and didn't rate a single house below a 7. During the first 2 rounds, just try to find things you like about each house. Don't worry about whether or not you'll fit in, honestly you'll have no idea based on a couple of conversations, but the sisters in each house will, and they'll be the ones inviting you back. Cuts happen to everyone, but if you allow yourself to fall in love with every chapter, then you're guaranteed to be happy no matter where you end up.
