Rating: Summary: Finnish Fun Review: One cold January, Penny decides it is time to head to Finland in search of her relatives. Sharon, her best friend, will be the perfect traveling companion.I knew I was going to like "Sisterchicks on the Loose" when I saw that Robin Jones Gunn was the author. Robin is gifted at making her readers laugh. Even better, there is depth to this story. Penny & Sharon grow in exciting and inspiring ways during their trip to Finland. Sharon determines to move beyond the role of facilitator and join Penny in the fun. Penny discovers defining truths about her late mother and is freed by them.

Rating: Summary: Take a day's vacation! Review: Reading this book was like taking a relaxing and entertaining vacation for a day. That sounds like a cliche, but I can't think of any more accurate way to describe it! As a twenty-something mother of a toddler, I wondered...would I even enjoy a book about middle-aged mothers of teenagers and their friendship? However, the story carried me across the world from my daily responsibilities and gave me a 24-hour vacation! I loved it! Best friends and middle-aged mothers Sharon and Penny embark on a crazy trip to Finland to search for Penny's roots and relatives. While dealing with lost luggage and entertaining encounters with strangers (and consuming great quantities of chocolate), they each discover new sides to their identities and hidden strengths in themselves and their friendship. The hilarious chapter describing their first encounter with a Finnish sauna is worth the price of the book alone! Robin Jones Gunn has created genuine, down-to-earth, endearing, unfailingly fascinating characters. Just make sure you have plenty of time to read when you pick up this book because it will be hard to put down!
Rating: Summary: Funny - loveable - great! Review: Robin has a lot of teen fans who are growing into young adulthood and womanhood. Its great that she has moved into fiction for an older crowd so her fans can grow with her. Sisterchicks is great and there's a website for fellow "sisterchicks" to meet at: http://www.sisterchicks.com
Rating: Summary: Instant classic!!! Review: Sisterchicks on the Loose is an instant classic! Robin Jones Gunn wrote a book that really illustrates the true meaning of friendships. Sisterchicks stay together through thick and thin. It's nice to read a book when the girls get to take off and go exploring, not having to worry about the daily routine. After reading this, I made a pact with my sisterchicks so that when we're in our thirties, we'll take off on a much needed vacation!
Rating: Summary: An adventure! Review: This book details the friendship between 2 friends and their adventures in England and Finland. This was a very interesting book, getting to read more about Finland and England, and about the people and their customs. I enjoyed the humor throughout the book. I liked reading about the customs officer teasing Penny about her name, Penny Lane. I liked the contrast between the 2 characters: the one free-spirited and assertive, and the other one, more serious and cautious. Yet, the characters were able to come together and have a lasting friendship. There were plenty of ups and downs withing the book, like Sharon losing her luggage, Penny worried that she was going to die because her mother died so young, and the discussion about Penny's past, and the cousin who was going through some worrisome times. But there was a lot of fun, like the chocolate and the visit to a Finish sauna. I highly recommend this book about a good, Christian friendship.

Rating: Summary: couldn't put it down! Review: This book is a feel-good fun romp! It's a fast, enjoyable read. I love the characters, they are three dimensional and have things happen to them that could, and probably would, happen to any of us. I'm looking forward to the next one!
