And when she learns that Wes is heading to Italy on a trip with his fraternity brothers, Sora decides that there’s no better place to reignite a romance than the Amalfi Coast!
Under the guise of a graduation Euro trip with her friends, Soraya’s plan is make memories with her besties during the day, make out with Wes at night, and make sure she comes out of this vacation with the title of Official Girlfriend and Grown College Girlie.

Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Oh My Affogato! is about the weight of secrets and trying to win the guy we think is perfect. The one we think we should end up with, the mood board vision. But it’s a testament to the idea that secrets never stay hidden and the best plans are the ones which surprise us. The life which happens between plans. As someone who spent WAY too long chasing someone who was like a Wes, if he doesn’t get it, he doesn’t get it. My heart broke for Soraya. She has to learn her own lessons, because when someone tells us we never get it. But watching her grow, soak in the love, and the sunshine was such a great way to channel the summer.
Oh My Affogato! gives us the highs and lows of summer love. It asks us whether we run when it gets hard and how to fight for the love which really matters. The love which sees our hidden truths. The friends who support us. I loved the friendship group here and I’d love to read about these iconic side characters!
