Really enjoyed this book just like the original. Rowley is great with fun, realistic reads where you learn too. Who knew that TMZ stood for the "thirty-mile zone" where the studios are clustered in LA? (Probably everyone but me 😂)

✨so much fun and full of heart just like the first book. I love listening to the audiobooks and I selfishly want an adaptation or another book ASAP!!! enjoyed this one a fraction less than the first, but still loved it so much. Seeing all of the character grown and still dealing with their grief felt so real. love love love these characters!!!

Delight of a summer romp!  Not quite is good as the first, but I loved it. The witty irreverence is so much fun and the characters as endearing as ever.

The guncle abroad? More like 50 year old misogynistic white man refuses to shut up for 320 pages
