This was a good one. As usual, I'm pleased with the way Nicholas Sparks captures and entertains. This one was about a man named Travis Parker (not Barker!) He has everything a man could want, a good job as a vet, loyal friends, and a waterfront home in a small town in North Carolina. He swims, goes boating with his friends, and barbecues. He holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship would cramp his "bachelor" style. That is until his new neighbor, Gabby Holland moves in.
Despite his attempts to be cordial, the redhead nextdoor seems to have a grudge against him. Classic love/hate relationship. Still, Travis tries to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor. His persistence leads them on a journey neither expected. I won't spoil it, but The Choice ultimately confronts readers with a heart wrenching question...How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
Recommend it! Although it wasn't the best of the best of Spark's novels, it wasn't a bad read at all.
Ratings: Characters: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Interest level: 4/5
Overall rating: I'll give it a A-
