the choice...

How far will you go for love.. and so goes the question on Nicolas Sparks' new book entitled "the choice"

I finished it a few days ago and whenever I read books I usually carry with me the scenarios for a while and it makes me think...


========== SPOILER ALERT!!!! ===============
if you are going to read the story and do not want to know what happens then you have to stop here...
       


it starts off as just your typical next door neighbor kind of story... new neighbor moves in,Gabby, her dog gets pregnant and she accuses the cute neighbor's dog who turns out to be neutered, and the neighbor advises her to visit the vet so she can make sure her dog is really pregnant.. turns out to be the vet IS the neighbor, Travis.. and so goes and develops their romance.. but it's not all sugar and spice and everything nice.. there is a problem.. she has a bf since college and she thinks she still loves him.. it's been years and still he hasn't even asked her to marry him.. how long do you have to wait..

but then she makes her choice..

years later they have a family.. dream house, lovely daughters, aging dogs, loving husband and wife... then tragedy strikes.. Gabby and Travis get into an accident.. she goes into coma..

how long will you wait..

she gave him 3 months to decide whether to pull the plugs out or not coz she said when it happened to them she would like them to move on and forget about her... let her die.. what will be your choice... "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?"

it's sad.. it made me think.. will I also make the right choice when the time comes...
