Review: The End Zone

The End Zone by Riley Hart and Iggy Toma

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

 

Jeremy
Seeing my best friend West happy with his fiancé opened my eyes to things I’ve been missing in my own marriage. My divorce, which was amicable, followed. Strangely, at West’s wedding, I find myself confiding in Darren, the straight, confirmed bachelor and star quarterback of the Atlanta Lightning.
Darren
I still can’t say how it happened, how a random decision to strike up a conversation with Jeremy turned into…whatever this is. All I know is, months later, my days aren’t complete until we tell each other good night.
I didn’t think I was made for relationships, thought something inside me was broken, but I want it all with him. Except, it feels like as soon as we make it past one obstacle, there’s an even bigger one waiting for us.

Do not listen to this audiobook right after series #1. It is exactly the same, except the protagonists are absolutely shallow. Darren plays football, is a people pleaser with a close bond to his family and no father. He starts a secret relationship because he identified as straight and his close friends wonder about his changed behavior. He texts constantly with Jeremy and they use nicknames.
There was one difference with book #1: Darren was the one always making jokes about how good he was in bed.

It was really hard to trick myself into thinking these were other people. And now imagine those two characters often meeting up with their carbon copies from the first book. It made the confusion complete.

The narration was alright.
