One of the strongest aspects of this book is the dialogue writing. What follows is the slow realization, on bother characters parts, that there could or should be more between them - even after one thinks they have found their one true love, Steve’s relationship with Jenny forces her to realize what’s she’s learned about herself from loving Gabe and helps her come to terms with personal growth.

This story is also largely about the development of romantic love from friendship. Throughout the story we are given clues and eventually we find out about secrets on both sides of the court case, within both Jenny’s and Gabe’s family, that will impact how the battle is fought, and eventually, the trial’s outcome.īut that’s just part of what the story is about. Logic tells you that doing this would only inhibit Jenny from moving on, but really, how is that any different than if they had already had children? They built a life together and this would just have an extension of that, no? As a reader, that’s what you’re forced to consider. Jenny’s motivation was questionable but understandable all the same. The basis of the story is whether or not Jenny can win a legal battle, brought about by her deceased husband’s uncle, to use her husband’s sperm much like any other case of “organ donation”.
