This was a cute, cozy conclusion to this web series. A book about a perky figure skater turned hockey player who likes to bake, finds love and friendship, and enjoys their life is the perfect escape for these times. Yes, he's adorable, but he's also just trying to get by and that might mean not having the best communication with his family. He still has his struggles but it's very very low stakes.

It's a bit over the top, but honestly, that's what makes it fun. It's wish fulfillment. Glad this group of friends is happy and thriving.
