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?

"An awesome story, the characters are amazing, they made me laugh, cry at the end. Travis is a real man, because he made a choice for keeping Gabby alive, carrying father, love his daughters and love his life, he stayed strong for the sake of his family and friends. he never gave up despite the will that Gabby has written. we can learn a lot from Travis and Gabby they are a great Iconic couple, true love. It's kinda of A CHOICE to make if we passed in this kind of situation, but it's up to us to stay strong and hold on to what we believe, this book shows us how to have faith and hope in everything we do or happen in our life because everything happens for a reason and everything will be alright at the end, if it doesn't ..it's not the end :). i was so into this book, that's why i finished it in 9 days."

    — Booklist

His apt pacing and emotion-laden reading make the protagonist’s deepening angst most palpable. Appropriate music bracketing each disc helps to deepen and enhance the tension. Sparks’ fans will be pleased.”

    " 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. "
