Better than The Wedding Date as far as I’m concerned—I connected with the characters more and appreciated the slightly calmer pace which accompanies having characters with less hectic lives. What I’ll really remember though is multiple incredibly described and satisfying realizations of “wait, is this what being in love feels like?!” Because I’m the sort of person for whom, “you’ll know it when you feel it,” is the most unsatisfying description of how to know you’re in love. So seeing characters really express their aha moments with concrete details was refreshing. I’d reread those sections any day.
