Overall Rating- 4
Cleanliness Rating- 2 (for very mild language and mention of sexual content- but clean enough for my mom to read!)
Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life - boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies -- he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. After an inauspicious first meeting where Gabby accuses Travis's boxer of impregnating her purebred collie, the two fall hard for each other. Already dating someone else seriously, Gabby is faced with a dilemma: whether to stick with longtime boyfriend Kevin, or get involved with Travis. The first part of the tale paints a vivid picture of her decision-making process and its effects on Travis and Gabby's lives. That sets up Part II, which takes place 11 years later when Travis faces a life and death decision following a car accident.
This it is a beautiful love story with several emotional ups and downs. This book draws the reader into an emotional connection with the characters, evoking powerful and passionate feelings of intense love and sadness. It also illustrates the importance of choices and the effect that our choices have on our life. It is a bit slow in the first part, but it’s worth it in the end.
