My Review: 4.5 Stars
I love the Destiny trilogy and this rewrite was fun. I loved the additional details that were added, as it gave a slightly new flavor to this Romeo and Juliet type of story.
Destiny is a Mormon who attends a Baptist school in the South and there are some conflicts with religion between her and her classmates. I love the way she's fairly confident in herself and tries new things. I especially enjoyed her friendships, both new and old, with Hannah and Megan.
Young love is always so much fun, especially a first love, and I liked watching Destiny navigate the waters of her crush. The flirting and banter are both sweet and butterfly-inducing.
Music is such a huge part of my life and I adore the way it plays such a hefty part of this story line.
My only complaint is, even though I've read this trilogy before, this story ends quite abruptly. I'm hoping the next installment is released soon, because I didn't want to stop and was left on the edge of a cliff.
Content: mild romance; moderate religion
