Very sweet! I personally loved how Wells went from angry and feeling sorry for himself for his accident to happy and willing to move on because of the time he spent with Anders.

I'm still a little unsure why Max suddenly decided that Wells was the perfect person to coach Anders for his triathlon but I can accept that as a simple concession on getting them to meet.

Anders was hilarious, especially with how he interacted with his siblings!

I kind of wish we got more drama from Anders though since we got Wells dealing with his amputated leg and loss of hockey. Something like Anders' mother coming back or whatever would've been an amazing chance for Wells to emotionally support Anders like Anders had done for him.

Also the final triathlon didn't seem to get enough coverage for how pivotal a moment it was. Multiple people were supposedly spread out across the race, but we only ever got to see Isac and Cassi. It would've been really cute if all of their friends were carrying hints that Wells was going to do something special (proposal might be too soon, but something big would've been a great emotional payoff)

Was still a good read though. Will definitely read the next one to see what the heck is up with Isac and Max.
