I especially loved that two people with so much pain in their lives had such a sweet and gentle love between them. The personal journeys of both Amanda and Chase were painful and yet redemptive. I was enthralled and mesmerized with this book which I couldn’t put down. The story shares the truth that we cannot change for someone else, but we can become better to be worthy of those we love. As the two struggle to rebuild their lives, I especially liked that they don’t make one anther better rather each makes the other want to be a better version of themselves. OPINION: 738 DAYS is the story of two people who have experienced so much pain, mistakes and heartbreak in the young lives. These two survivors don’t expect the growing connection between them. Chase will get some good publicity and Amanda will get a chance to experience life away from her family. Despite that beginning, Amanda and Chase strike a deal. When his publicist suggests surprising Amanda with a personal visit and the opportunity to go to the set of the movie Chase is working on, Chase believes it is a chance for him to get some good publicity. A recovering alcoholic after experiencing the excesses of Hollywood, Chase is trying to pick himself up again. She fears that life will never consist of anything but her fears and her difficult relationships with her family members. Now at the age of 20, Amanda is struggling to get her life together.

In the small room where she was held there was a poster of teen heartthrob Chase Henry which Amanda credited for helping remind her of home. THE STORY: Amanda Grace was abducted at the age of 15 and held for 738 days until she was rescued. This is such a bad idea.”įINAL DECISION: A powerful, angst filled story that retains a great amount of charm and humor, 738 DAYS is the story of two people who are rebuilding their lives and find inspiration in each other to become their better selves.
