THE CHOICE (Nicolas Sparks) - January 12/16

This is an almost prototypical Sparks drama and I still liked it, although I did think the book dragged before the two central characters got together. I also think Sparks missed a golden opportunity to not have the two guys confront one another, or at the very least to not have the other guy show up at the hospital. Still, the two main characters are personable and I was rooting for them. **1/2 out of ****
