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.
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?

4By Mickey MeltonI enjoyed this book as I do all of his novels but have to admit it was very heart wrenching. I would’ve done the same thing as he did so you’ll just have to read the book to see what he chose to do. Enjoy!a powerful story

4By Akbx03I give it 4.5 stars yes the first few chapters are slow and not really entertaining but then BOOM you go on an emotional roller coaster with ironic twists. I loved this book!Loved it
4By Br1tbritThis book was a great read, I loved the story and all of the characters. Only complaint is that Part two went a little slow and it didn't keep my attention as much as Part one but I still loved the book.The Choice

5By Ksm1313This book was amazing! I loved every chapter of it. But I love just about every book by Nicolas Sparks!Hope for love.
5By Couchcryer01Of course Sparks does it again! Every time I read one of his books I'm left sitting on the couch, crying as if I was five years old and someone just took away my favorite toy. Every time he leaves you feeling as if your hearts been ripped out of your chest cleaned off and put back in. But let's be honest, if we know this happens every time why do we go back to it. It gives us a sense of hope that one day we will find our Noah,Dawson or Landon.Well obviously
1By ekerri02180204Don't bother wasting your time, Sparks has done it again with writing another awful book. Oh and she wakes up (OF COURSE SHE DID,) they should have killed her. At least it would have been more interesting.The Choice
2By DEANA LAY SHARMAAlthough it was a sweet story I found it to be very predictable. I felt so he beginning was very slow. I typically love Nicholas Sparks' books, but this wasn't a favorite.Another Great Nicholas Sparks Work
5By Sarahcat127If you're a Nicholas Sparks fan, you'll definitely enjoy this work. It's a wonderful love story full of plot twists and surprises - impossible to put down.The meh-est of meh's
1By With friendsLet me sum up every Nicholas Sparks novel for you: Two main characters are from different worlds (usually one is rich and the other is poor) and could never work! He's a handsome, charming, Southern good ol' boy who has no interest in commitment until she sweeps into his life and blows him away! One of them (the woman, or one of her family members) has a life-threatening disease or is in a horrific accident! He mourns her or she lives and they get through it together! I stopped reading his novels after Nights in Rodanthe (which, to be fair, didn't have a character with a disease, just a landslide or avalanche or something), but I saw the ads for the latest movie and decided to give him another try. PASS. Also, what is his obsession with birds? I swear that he had a protagonist that thought a duck or a swan was his reincarnated wife, and now he has this ominous pigeon? I feel like if I went to Nicholas Sparks' house he'd be pointing out birds all day like "that's Jarret, he always shows up and watches me through the window when it's going to rain in three days, eight hours, and twenty minutes. He's my second favorite after Emory, who always shows up when it's going to rain in three days, four hours, and forty minutes." When he wasn't trying to convince me to move to a small seaside town in North Carolina, that is. Just, no. Don't bother.LOVED IT.
