The next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital to a dr. saying the love of his life is in a coma. Three months had passed with Gabby stuck in her coma and was moved from the hospital, to the ICU and then to a nursing home. Travis was left with the biggest decision ever, the choice.

The Choice is a good book for teens and adults. The theme in the book is fighting for love. I give the book The Choice five stars. I really enjoyed it. I was constantly sucked into this book. It brought a smile to my face, yet it also brought me tears. Nicholas Sparks is an amazing author and I recommend the book The Choice
