Publisher Description
Opposites attract in this moving #1 New York Times bestseller of love lost and found between a medical student and the man who captures her heart.
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.
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?

" A pretty typical Nicholas Sparks novel. Not his best, but not a bad read, either. "
— Adrianne, 2/13/2014 -
" Really enjoyed this nick sparks book. His books alway make you think about what you would do in the characters situations. A good read. "
— Emily, 2/12/2014 -
" Although I enjoyed the book, something with this one left me a little disappointed. The story was good, and although it was slow, you don't realise as it keeps you reading. Then when time jumped, I was left a little confused as to what had happened as a clear explanation wasn't there at first. The rest was good, although I would have preferred a little more originality in the end. Won't stop me from reading another Sparks book though. "
