★★★★☆
Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal
friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full
pursuit of the good life-- boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with
his good-natured buddies--he holds the vague conviction that a serious
relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until
Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly,
the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him . .
. and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn't help. Despite
himself, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new
neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a
journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years
of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heart wrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
I really enjoyed The Choice! I wouldn't say it was one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks novels, but it was a page-turner nonetheless. I
don't want to say too much to give away any of the plot! But you really grow to love Travis' character, and Sparks weaves a great love story between him and Gabby.
Also, as a sidenote, since I've read Sparks' memoir
Three Weeks with My Brother, I am convinced that Travis was based off his brother Micah!!
Both are great reads.
