There are far fewer books that made me shed tears and I'd say that this is one of them. The title itself is so right and I hope I would never have to do that choice.
To be fair, I am not a big fan of romances, but Nicholas Sparks has a tendency to surprise the readers, for his every story is unique in it's own way. His books aren't always centered on two people falling in love. Most of the times, there's more going on. Also, one never knows if the ending will be a certifiable tear-jerker or joyful happiness.
Gabby and Travis are two neighbors who are drawn to each other but reluctant to get in a relationship. But one weekend spent together changes everything.
Eleven years later, Travis is torn between two choices that could alter the course of his life. Gabby made her wishes clear, but it's different when it is a hypothetical scenario in the future and another thing when the situation is staring you in the face, especially when you blame yourself for it.
The book is startlingly exciting and I found myself bonding with the characters despite the minute exposition and short storyline. I won't spoil it all, but will say that "The Choice" is expansive and gripping novel of love at all costs. It teaches you to conquer your fears and let go of what may happen for the honest experience of what is happening.
I would also like to quote one of the lines from the story that struck me as really awesome..
“That staring at the stars was like staring backward in time, since some stars are so far away that their light takes millions of years just to reach us. That we see stars not as they look now, but as they were when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The whole concept just struck me as . . . amazing somehow.”
I suggest you all read this beautiful story and feel the warmth of it in your heart.
Happy Reading!!!
Amazing. Keep writing
