So what do you do when your best buddy falls for a Mormon girl, joins the church, and then—of all things—goes on a mission? That’s Ed Nakamoto’s dilemma, and his response to if forms the core of this humorous, sensitive, and thought-provoking novel. Ed and his friend, Rick Petrelli, are high school and college buddies who love baseball, pool, girls, and a good time. At Arizona State they meet two Mormon girls, Yoshi and Shannon, and their quest for a first date leads them into a string of hysterical adventures.
As these two relationships develop, Rick becomes interested in the Church, eventually joins, and works toward serving a mission. Ed holds out as a non-Mormon, but the two remain good friends. Then, seventeen months into his mission, Rick is diagnosed with cancer and Ed's world begins to crumble.
Friends is a story that will pull out all the stops of young adult readers' emotions, flooding their senses with laughter, tears, ambivalence, and a sense of accepting life on its own terms. Its message is timely for today's youth-and timeless in its ability to touch and lift the heart.
