"Bound By Destiny" offers a promising romantic narrative with significant emotional stakes and societal conflicts.

⚜️Title: 3.5/5
The title is evocative and fitting for a romance that involves overcoming significant obstacles. It suggests a sense of inevitable connection or fate, which aligns with the theme of two people destined to be together despite challenges. The title effectively piques interest and hints at the emotional and dramatic undertones of the story. However, adding a subtitle could enhance the readability.

⚜️Cover: 4/5
The cover design of the book is absolutely beautiful and stunning. It typically reflects the genre and tone of the book. It is a really eye-catching and relevant cover. Though it would have been better if the cover could be showcased in actual wattpad length and not as potential hardcover styled design. Additionally, the author's name should be mentioned on the cover, so that if the readers do love the book they're able to know that this particular author writes good books and they might visit your profile later on.

⚜️Blurb: 4.5/5
The blurb for "Bound By Destiny" effectively captures the essence of a romance novel enriched with emotional and societal conflicts. It introduces Amaan Mohommad, a young man determined to pursue his legal career after a heartbreak, and Tanvi Singh, a spirited girl navigating unrequited love. Their unexpected friendship at a prestigious CLAT coaching class blossoms into a profound connection despite their differing religious backgrounds.
The blurb highlights the central conflict well: societal and familial pressures that threaten their relationship. Amaan’s family is shown to be supportive, while Tanvi’s parents are shown to oppose the union, creating significant stakes for the couple.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE BLURB, DEAR AUTHOR ✨❤

⚜️Plot: 8/10
The story revolves around Tanvi Singh and Amaan Mohammad, two young individuals grappling with personal turmoil against the backdrop of their families and their respective cultures. The narrative primarily explores themes of love, heartache, and familial relationships.
The setting is effectively conveyed through the characters’ interactions and their internal dialogues. Tanvi’s vibrant energy is set against the familial warmth of the Singh household, while Amaan’s reflective mood is contrasted with the serene yet distant cityscape outside his window. The settings provide a backdrop that complements the emotional states of the characters, enhancing the reader’s understanding of their inner lives.
Later, at the CLAT COACHING, their friendship blooms unexpectedly, though I personally felt that part was rushed and very fast paced. Many readers would love the fast pacing but then there are a large number of readers who like slow burn romance, like reality. So, you could show some more scenes to build their friendship.

⚜️Character Development: 7.5/10
Tanvi Singh, our main female protagonist is portrayed as the vibrant and joyful heart of her family, embodying a blend of boundless energy and hidden sorrow. Her cheerful exterior contrasts with her internal struggle of unspoken love, adding layers of complexity to her character. Her interactions with her family, especially the affectionate banters with her brother and the caring attention from her mother, paint a picture of a loving household where Tanvi's inner conflict is concealed behind a bright facade.
While Amaan Mohammad, the main male protagonist is introduced as a deeply sensitive and intelligent young man dealing with the aftermath of a failed relationship. His contemplative nature and emotional depth are highlighted through his interactions with his parents. Amaan’s initial struggle with heartbreak and his introspective demeanor provide a stark contrast to Tanvi’s outward enthusiasm. And as they say, opposites attract and we can see the same thing in Tanvi and Amaan's relationship.

Tanvi’s hidden sorrow and Amaan’s visible grief are portrayed with sensitivity, allowing readers to connect with their experiences on a personal levellevel but I find them lacking in emotional depth. There are scenes which are meant to be extremely sorrowful or joyful, but I cannot seem to relate to the characters emotions.
You need to follow the rule of "Show and Not tell", if you just tell that it was a serene and happy moment and Tanvi smiled, people won't be able to relate, adding subtle gestures is the key to enhance emotional depth.

⚜️Grammar and Vocabulary: 4.5/5
The grammar is generally well-handled, with clear sentence structures and appropriate use of punctuation. As well as the vocabulary is suitable for the story's tone, effectively conveying the characters' emotions and the narrative's mood.
However, occasional lapses in nuance or variety in word choice might be noticeable to more discerning readers. I would suggest to not extremely repeat the use of a particular word. Also, certain chapters which require using a subtle word to express the emotions  you've used heavy words which the readers might not be able to resonate to.

⚜️Enjoyment: 4/5
The book succeeds in creating an enjoyable reading experience with effective grammar and suitable vocabulary, though there is room for deeper character development and more distinctive narrative elements.

⚜️Overall: 4/5
Overall, "Bound By Destiny" presents to us a compelling and intriguing book with a heartfelt and captivating story of love and resilience against societal barriers. While the plot and characters are compelling, some elements might feel predictable or stereotypical.
The emotional depth is there, but it can sometimes feel a bit too neatly packaged or idealized. Real-life emotions are often messy and inconsistent, and the portrayal here, while sincere, might not capture the full complexity of human experience.
