The more volumes of this I read, the more I wonder if the author just bounces between stories and ideas because they have a plan or because they don't know what to write next. How are we still only at the midterm of the semester for anya's first year at this school? Yet, we also have time to go on other adventures and side quests? While I really loved the cruise story line and some side stories are nice (particularly Bond's), others are frivolous (Fiona/Frankie) and take time away from the main plot, or are simply still inappropriate (Becky fawning over Loid). I'm sorry, it's still not okay to have basically a 6 year old literally FAWN over a grown man in a lustful way, just no. It brings the entire story down every time they bring it up. Otherwise, I did crack a few good laughs throughout this edition, so that at least gets some points in my book. Just remove the Becky loving Loud stuff and this would be a better volume even with the filler stories. Well, on to the next volume!

The ending to the cruise ship arch was really well done. I was happy to see that by the end the Forger family did get to spend a day together.

There were a few more chapters around supporting characters which were both funny and a little bit concerning with Becky's crush. I thought the chapters around the school was the strongest and the last one has me excited for the next volume to see Damian and Anya again and how they will interact.

This book was overall so much fun. Their vacation was so cute and I love Bond.

Becky's scenes with Lloyd were so funny and cringey at the same time. I think it really captured a part of being a kid that no one talks about, for obvious reasons, which is having inappropriate crushes. Especially how kids aren't normally capable of realizing why their feelings are inappropriate, much less that they are. This brought up some embarrassing memories for me, so I had to put it down for a bit. While it was at times funny to see how ridiculous Becky was being, I'm glad more books don't cover this topic.
