Nancy and I listened to 738 Days together and basically consumed this 14 hour audiobook in less than two days. Since you all don't need two reviews, we decided that I would interview her on her thoughts. So these are my questions, her thoughts, but both of our sentiments.

Describe 738 Days in 7 words.

Broken girl, recovering boy, together find love.

Ok, give it to us straight. Why is this book getting rave reviews on Goodreads?

Not only is 738 days a dark contemporary that supports a fantastic cast of characters that deal with some very tough issues. It also showcases an endearing couple that you respect and admire and that you want to see them succeed in all their endeavors.

Tell us about the characters, Amanda and Chase. Who would their book besties be?

Amanda is a young woman recovering from an abduction that she endured years ago. Every day is a struggle, a fight to survive, but she is a fierce warrior. Amanda has decided that she no longer wants to be a victim and she takes her life back. Chase is an actor, once famous and untouchable. Then his guilt and addiction got the better of him and he fell from grace. On the road to redemption his path intersects with Amanda's and in an odd twist of fate, they become each other's life line's, friends and lovers. Their book besties would be Nastya and Josh from The Sea of Tranquility.

*Side note: The Sea of Tranquility made Nancy's top 10 best books she read, top 10 best book boyfriends, and top 10 books that made her ugly cry in 2014. So, there you go.

738 Days features pretty heavy subjects - child abduction and sexual assault. How did the author portray the abduction and Amanda's journey after?

I think Stacey Kade did a fantastic job of portraying Amanda and her abduction and her recovery. It was a fine line that she danced on providing enough pertinent information without making the story too dark and oppressing. I liked how we got to see how her abduction and recovery affected her entire family and in very different ways. I was able to find understanding in all their perspectives but what I liked most is that Amanda was a work in progress and trust she continued with therapy and was willing to move forward and make that change in her life. She had an increased support system.

What do you think the author was trying to convey through the story? Was she successful?

I think Stacey Kade was trying to write a story about redemption and self forgiveness and that with love all things are possible.

If you liked The Sea of Tranquility, you'll love 738 Days.
