Maybe, I'm not entirely convinced. Holly has a history of backing her approval, and Ian's actions, up with like action. I don't know if it's the approval that's tracked or the choice, but if you meet Alison instead of Holly (thus losing approval points with her) and later ask Holly to swap reviews, she will refuse.
This is obviously not quite the same as relationships and romance, but I get the sense that Holly has a higher estimation of her own worth, in comparison to her crush with Ian, than what some people would assume. I suppose only time will tell if this is a general theme that Evakiss wishes to employ with her.
