The legal battle was interesting and added another layer of intensity to the story, while continuing the heartfelt premise of Jenny's struggle to cope with her husband's sudden death. I liked watching their relationship grow throughout the story. Steve was best friends with both Jenny and Gabe and therefore is personally invested in Jenny's case. Jenny is not alone in her battle: she has a supportive attorney but most of all she has Steve, her neighbor and best friend. However, Gabe's uncle (who raised him) is adamantly opposed and takes Jenny to court over the issue. Jenny desires nothing more than to have Gabe's child and keep a piece of him with her always. I really felt for her: first she loses her husband, then her entire life is made public through a legal battle. Jenny was an easy character to relate to. Only a great writer can make you put yourself in a character's shoes, and Rizzo does that for me every time. While reading Just Destiny, I kept having the feeling that Jenny's tragedy could happen to me, or anyone else I know. What I love about Rizzo's writing is that her premises are so believable. I found this book completely impossible to put down. I loved Theresa Rizzo's first book, He Belongs to Me, and really didn't think I could love Just Destiny any more, but I did.
