Whenever I see the word "chick" in a book title, I usually head in the opposite direction since I am truly a tomboy. (The last book I read was a Western about a Ladies Shooting Club by Susan Davis.) From many women, I've heard that Robin Jones Gunn is a good author, so I figured that I would check out a book by her from the library, to see if I liked it (before I would consider buying it). I was pleasantly surprised by this book.
Sharon is the quiet shy homemaker & mother while Penny is the out-going, adventurous real estate agent. Despite many mishap and detours along the way, Penny & Sharon head to Finland for the vacation of a lifetime. Penny's only surviving family lives in Finland and she wants to connect with them as well as visit the country of her ancestors. Penny brings her best friend Sharon along for the incredible ride. Don't miss out on their fabulous adventure.

I have read three of the sisterchick series, & am looking forward to reading what else these sisterchicks can get into. I also share these books with others where I volunteer.

it was great for little girls starting to read more grown up books with lots of humor they can relate to. lots of action with little lessons behind it. its easy to pack around and not to many pages to get easily bored.

Review 5 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
Amazingly real book. Seven years ago I started a 'Monday Morning' ladies group called the Sister Chicks (I feel like I could have written this book). Even tho' we ladies are all in our 60's, we still think like young mothers. Pg 103, "You are gifted and capable beyond your wildest imagination; you have not yet begun to explore all the ways you can make your life count for eternity. Strengh and dignity are your clothing!" These are words and thoughts I'd tried to impress upon my 22 lovely SisterChicks who meet each 'Monday Morning'. This is my first Robin Jones Gunn book, but not my last.

This book was worth the time, but didn't make the impact on my that Sister Chicks Do the Hula did. Robin Jones Gunn continues to be one of both mine and my 12 year old daughters favorite authors. She loves the Christie Miller series.

Review 8 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
I am an avid romance fiction reader. I love this series but I could really relate to Penny and her problems with her mother-in-law in this particular book. I like these books also because they "fit" me. I am forty-something, married and a mom. Every one of these books have touched an area in my life. They are also hilarious! I tell friends about them!

Review 9 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to this book since I'm neither middle-aged nor a mom, but I loved it. Sharon and Penny's friendship is sweet, but deep, and like true Sisterchicks, they do confront real issues and help each other overcome some big obstacles. I especially liked, and could thoroughly identify with, the way that Sharon needs Penny to help her spread her wings and be adventurous, because I am generally the Sharon type and not the Penny type. I could also identify and commiserate with Sharon's struggle to love Gloria, who is completely unlikeable but at the same time, not evil, just very human. Several of the scenes and dialog exchanges are humorous, and as one reviewer noted, setting the book in Finland and exploring Finnish culture was a great choice. My only criticism is that I don't quite see the need for the England side trip, but otherwise, this was a pleasant surprise and a great read.

Review 10 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
This book was one of the best fiction books I've read in a long time. I loved how Penny worked her PR skills at the hotel. The book all together was very good and I can't wait to read the next one. The only thing about it was sometimes it was a little hard to get through it.

Review 11 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
Liked it, didn't love it. It's fun, sweet, and imaginative. The location was a different choice, it made it hard to relate to, but interesting. You don't often hear too much about Finland. But I can't read any of these Sisterchick books without wanting chocolate. Thanks, Robin!

Review 12 for Sisterchicks on the Loose - eBook Sisterchicks Series #1
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.Realistic details, a sprinkling of Finnish vocabulary and lots of entertaining surprises will delight those who join the adventure!

Fabulous! This book encourages and causes you to pause and analyze your own life. How God is so loving and guiding no matter what the circumstances are surrounding us. I laughed out loud and cried and thought...Our God is an AWESOME God! A great read! This would make an excellent woman's study on relationships. After all, that's why God created us!Can't wait for Sisterchicks #2 to be released!
