The Choice

I recently read the book The Choice, by Nicolas Sparks. I found the book to be very gripping and a page-turner by the end. The novel starts out with Travis, who is the main character. Travis is the kind of man who any woman would want for herself, but somehow he is still single. He is very happy with his life in his small town of Beaufort, North Carolina, but he wants a relationship that will last a lifetime, unlike his past's relationships. His life had not changed much; he had lived in the same town he was born in, but the day his new neighbor Gabby moved in his life changed forever. Gabby moves from the big and bustling city of Savannah Georgia, to be closer to her boyfriend Kevin, of four years.
Travis and Gabby meet, and they begin to hangout and get to know each other better. They spend more and more time together, and they feel like they have known one another for years. One night they had dinner together and talked all night. They talked like old friends, and by the end of the night they had fallen in love. They spent that night together, and couldn't leave each other's sides. However, the next day Gabby had to choose between Kevin, who she had been with for four years, and Travis who had only been in her life for a week.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes other novels by Nicolas Sparks, or like the romantic genre of books. The book was a slow starter like many of the other novels I have read by Sparks, then gradually the book picks up conflict, and it's hard to put down. Overall, the book really makes you question what you would do if you were in the same situation.Show Less
