4.0

Love Belvin continues to pen without parameters, which does have it pros and cons, but ultimately her boldness paints a vibrant picture of the reality of partnership. The beauty of watching it grow, loving the unseen parts of your partner, and overcoming obstacles that seek to separate a unit. 

Jade and Trent were an emotional rollercoaster from the start. There were moments throughout this sequel that did feel unnecessary and honestly the novel could have been about 100-150 pages shorter. However, the last obstacle Jade and Trent experience is somewhat critical to their development as characters and a pivotal point in the marriage. While the issue was alluded to, my criticism is I feel Belvin could’ve been more intentional with this major plot development. 

Overall Endzone Love is undoubtedly one of Belvin’s best but a tighter edit with more intention with major plot and character developments would have sealed the deal.
