Same school, same church and same town, David and Laci grew up as childhood friends. Then in seventh grade, Greg White moves to town. David decides to be nice to the new guy, and soon this eccentric fun loving spirit is drawn to Laci and for some unknown reason, to the more serious David as well. A friendship grows between the threesome as they move through the awkwardness of middle school and into high school. As their friendships grow, so does their spirituality and soon the threesome are on a life changing missions trip to Mexico City. Everything comes together and life seems laid out for them until tragedy strikes. How will they pull their shattered lives back together?
If you like the unique humor that comes with middle grade students coupled with interesting characters you’ll enjoy, Chop, Chop. The romance is well done, and the character development amazing as it follows this intriguing threesome from middle school through high school and beyond. The subtle spirituality laced with humor grows deep and rich and will test you to your very core. I finished this book challenged to be a better person.
