I really enjoy Poe's stories, and think they're all pretty great. Reading this one in times of COVID, where politicians and celebrities still host parties as if oblivious to the suffering of everyday people.... Wow.

A cute little LGBT YA Book but there were so many errors that it was hard to read. It needs a better editor

Definitely not as good as the first book. I was so slow reading through this and I really didn't enjoy it. I probably won't be continuing based on this one

I did end up really enjoying this one. I was so worried when I heard that one character was trans that it would end up not being enjoyable for me as a transgender man. However, it is handled relatively well and the characters are accurate.

This book was okay, but I was really hoping for some more information. Each wrestler only gets a small paragraph of very basic info on their in ring character. Just a middle of the road book that left me wanting more
