As their rehearsals begin, Destiny realizes the unimaginable: Isaac has developed deep feelings for her despite their religious differences and the fact that he has a girlfriend.

REVIEW
Sometimes you just need a love-conquers-all story. Sometimes it has to run what seems like a Gauntlet of obstacles, but In the end your happily ever after seems all the more deserved and better. Destiny is a lovely story about burgeoning love in the midst of prejudice and religious indifferences. The book starts with a nice beginning with the right doses of explanation to explain the story and to keep it interesting. What is beautiful about the book is that it has been written from the point of view of both Destiny and Isaac, the main characters and the star-crossed lovers from the book. Also what was amazing to see was that how subtly and with great precision Hale managed to weave religion into her work without causing any feeling of disrespect for any of their sentiments.
The character and the protagonist Destiny quickly finds a place in your heart. Though the other main character Isaac was not exactly liked in the beginning due to his actions in the book, he also got added to the list of liked characters quickly. The characters Hannah and Micheal also have a good and strong character and opinion in the book which is rather appreciated as the siblings, cousins and friends, who are usually used as fillers in a story, had important role to play in the story development.
In the end the story ends at appoint which not only goes it a happy ending but also keeps the butterflies fluttering in our stomach about what happens next.
So in total the book was an amazing read and I am really looking forward to reading it’s sequel.
