After seeing the movie trailer of the choice, I instantly wanted to read the book because the trailer portrayed a cute love story, and I wanted to read the book before going to watch the movie.

But when I did read the book I was disappointed as it was not what I expected at all, for me I could not fully get into the book nor did I feel like I could connect with the characters.

The story is about Gabby and Travis, Gabby moves in next door with her dog and when her dog suddenly gets pregnant she assumes its Travis’s dog that has gotten her dog pregnant. This is how the two meet, and from there their love story begins.  

I now feel that after reading many Nicholas sparks books I know what to expect and I know exactly what’s going to happen, somehow the two people will meet, will get to know each other and within a week or so they fall in love, they will either already be with someone or they will be someone in the way of their love, and one of the main characters will always end up in the hospital.

I wouldn't mind reading a romantic story like this but after reading a few of Spark’s books which always follow in the same direction there’s no fun in reading the book as you know what’s going to happen. 

I didn't really enjoy reading this book, and I when I did sit down with the book I wasn't really eager to read the book, that’s why I gave this book 2/5 stars.

But I still can’t wait to watch the movie; I hope it turns out to be better than the book.
