Descriptive label for Read more button

Hai all,

Descriptive label for buttons or links always confuses me.

I have a page where reviews of multiple people are given at the end of
the page. The structure would be.
1 or 2 sentences of review we can see on the screen, then name of the
reviewer and next to that a read more button on clicking on which we
can see the complete review of that person.
Then below next person's review ...

The aria-label of all the "read more" buttons are "read more about this review"


Though multiple read more buttons are there with the same label, I
think it is fine as with the label user can understand on clicking on
this button they can see complete review
Moreover the name of the reviewer is not important here as user
decides whether they want to read more or not based on the content ,
not based on the reviewer name

If the label was just "read more", then user won't have any clue about
what they are going to read more.

Correct me if I am missing something.

Regards,
Sumit .
