    Oh My Affogato (or what I have been referring to as Vacationship) is a classic young adult romance. Sora is 18, and she is taking a big trip to Italy. Sora can easily be seen as annoying, and I hated her at first. BUT you have to remember that she is 18 and her actions as an 18-year-old are VERY normal. This story also had a lot of Sora telling us her every thought, which isn't what I usually look for in books. Sometimes I excuse it in young adult books since I am not the intended audience. My biggest problem with this book is the romance. Her issues with Wes lasted a while. I think that plot line was important. Probably the most important part of the book, because it leads to Sora finding her self-worth. BUT this story is so short that it rushes the romance. I loved Nico's part in helping Sora, but the romance was too intense, too fast. I would have been happy to see the blossoming of their friendship, the banter, and their flirting. The love confession and the fade to black scene are NOT NEEDED. This just furthers the fact that Sora is 18 and hasn't learned very much.

    “Life isn't made of choices, it's made of trades. Some are good, some are bad, but they all have a cost.”

    Ending a series is always bittersweet. The different lives all of our characters lead finally crossed paths in this final book. It was fun to have them finally get to know one another and for the continued banter. With all the books, there were some pacing issues. It is crazy to me how everything that happened on the boat trip was only four days. This was the highest-stakes book plotwise, which made up for a lot of the slow pacing moments. I think the ending was fitting. I was so worried who was going to die (and that would have seriously affected my rating). I think Maximus' moves in the end were stupid. If he had made that choice earlier in the book when the fog was still new, it would have made sense, but they came up with a really good plan, and what he didn't trust Kell once again??
