"Sisterchicks in Gondolas" by Robin Jones Gunn

Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bella Italy!! I couldn't resist choosing this book to read and review! I've never been to Venice, but I've been to Sicily several times. This book just makes me want to go again--and maybe get to see a few other places in Italy, including Venice!

Robin Jones Gunn's descriptions are spot on. Sue's reaction to her first bite of gelato cracked me up! I may not have said exactly what she did, but the reactions were about the same. Once you've had the real stuff, nothing else compares. Ummmmm, my mouth is watering for some baci (chocolate and hazelnuts) or pistachio right now just thinking about it! Most of the interactions with Italians were right on, and the ones that might be different could be because of the different are of Italy.

Jenna and Sue have a sweet relationship. I loved that Sue was the first person Jenna thought of to take to Venice with her, because she knew that life had been so hard on Sue for the past couple of years and she wanted to giver her a little break. I enjoyed them interacting and drawing even closer together.

The scene with Sergei late in the book was beautiful. The wonder of how God orchestrates things and the blessings we get from it. Wow! The epilogue was sweet and a fitting ending to the book. To top it off, Robin wrote at the end of her times in Venice and included some (b&w) photos to go with it!

This was a well-written book that I thoroughly enoyed. It makes me want to get some of her other "Sisterchicks" books to read! :-)

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
