Sisterchicks in Sombreros (Sisterchicks #3)

They travel opulently by cruise ship to Ensenada and survive a rocky trip through Baja California, only to be shocked when they arrive in San Felipe.

This book changed my life. I love all the others too, but this is probably my favorite because of the positive influence it has had. I think about it frequently to make sure I'm staying on track.
Robin Jones Gunn is one of my favorite authors, and her books almost always are written for one audience but are appreciated by a much wider group of people. Sisterchicks In Sombreros is no exception.

Probably my least favorite of the Sisterchicks books. Reminded me of the cruise to Mexico that Rosa and I took years ago - minus an allergic reaction to my first massage. Favorite quote was from Augustine:
"I came to love you late. O Beauty so ancient and new; I came to love you later. You were within me and I was outside where I rushed about wildly searching for you like some monster loose in your beautiful world. You were with me, but I was nt with you. You called me, you shouted to me. You bro...more

The story is about two sisters who inherit a piece of beach front property in Mexico and travel by cruise ship to check it out. The book was a little hard to get into at first. But boy, did it pack a message of faith and trust in God and how we "plan" our lives. Parts made me lol as to how close to home the author portrayed sisters and their interactions as adults. The message I take with me from the book--"I don't want to get in the way or hinder You from fulfilling any of the plans You had for...more
Fun, light-hearted and clean. An easy, get-your-mind-off-things book.
Good cruise reading, nice scriptural connections.
Great series
Gunn's third Sisterchicks novel offers the expected chick-lit emphasis on female friendship, enhanced by this series' usual formula of a girlfriends' getaway. In this case, the "sisterchicks" are actual sisters—two 40-something Canadian women who inherit what they are told is prime real estate on the coast of Mexico, and run for the border to check it out. Melanie, the book's narrator, is a born organizer and worrywart who, rather predictably, discovers joy in Christ and in her free-spirit siste...more
I love the Sisterchicks books! They are such thought provoking simple reads in terms of your/my relationship with Christ! Loved the story of these two sisters and their closeness. I can only hope for this kind of closeness with my sisters one day.
Was surprised that I didn't like it as much as I remember enjoying my first Sisterchick book- possibly because I listened to it as an audio book, and it sounded like the narrator was fake-smiling the ENTIRE TIME. It was a little annoying.
Another adventurous story of Sisterchicks! These two actual sisters had quite an adventure in Mexico. The title reminds me of a day my Sisterchick Mary and I spent in Mexico and put on sombreros to pose for a picture! And we looked pretty good too! haha!
I would rate this 3.75. I really enjoy these book, however they are really just fun easy reads. They seem to take you the place they go, and the way the food is explained. You are experencing the meals with them.
Two sisters inherit their uncles summerhouse in Mexico. SO they set out to see it and sign papers to make it theirs. A cruise takes them to Mexico and fun is had on the way to discovering themselves.
I enjoyed all the SisterChicks books. Some are funnier than the others. They all are inspirational and motivational to get out of our ruts...find our dream and set goals.
I really enjoy this Christian series....all about women around the "40" mark and their relationships with their "sisterchicks".....really good friends. In this book, the women were real sister "sisterchicks".
Fun, good, not stellar, so far hula is my fav. This one just seemed to turn around to fast and the whole love interest was too contrived, but still nice read.
Author Robin Jones Gunn has a fun contemporary Christian fiction “Sisterchicks series” you might enjoy. The title Sisterchicks in Sombreros is set in Mexico.
Christian lit about sisters going to see a property they have inherited. We get to be with them as they make life-changing discoveries. Nice book...
A fun light read just what I needed! Two sisters inherit beach front property in Mexico and rediscover their bond to each other and their love of God.
Sisters Joanne and Melanie go to Mexico to claim their uncle's beachfront property. Their adventure leads them to God and Love and Opportunity.
I LOVE Sisterchicks! You always feel good after reading these books. A little spiritual uplifting is good in these times!
I really like this series- fun and a little bit religious, but just enough. looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Pretty good book -- Christian chick lit. Got a little boring in the middle -- but overall a quick and good read!
Loved this book! Warm, funny, entertaining...and a great message! I cannot recommend this one enough! :)
This was my second of this series- very light read - about Christian female friendships
Great series. Gals know how to get away and yet remain grounded in God.
A very good message...sisterly love...deepening your relationship with God.
