"The Choice" is another beautiful book written by Nicholas Sparks but which has quite a different twist in the end differing it from many of his other books. The story starts with a young man called Travis who meets his neighbor, Gabby and from there on their relationship grows and progresses from a friendship to dating and finally marriage. What seems like a perfect happy family all of a sudden changes and goes haywire in a car accident leaving Gabby in a coma and Travis in a state of guilt and with the hardest decision ever in his life to make.
It has a happy ending and altogether it's another one of Nicholas Sparks books which just makes you want to believe in true love and fate.
Book Review:
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?
