"Inheritance of a lifetime!!"

Sisterchicks are on the road again! Meet Joanne and Melanie, real life sisters and as their mother always said -- almost twins as they were both born only sixteen months apart. Like most sisters they spent a great deal of their childhood at odds until they reached their late teens and then they became friends as well as sisters.

Now both in their forties, they get what they think could be a chance of a lifetime. They find out that their deceased Uncle has left them some beachfront property in Mexico. It doesn't take them long to make arrangements to travel by cruise ship (the first cruise of their lives) and then by rental car to the property located in San Felipe.

The entire adventure doesn't quite go as planned as they find themselves into one predicament after another from an outbreak of hives to showing up to the captains dinner in the wrong clothes. However they dock in Ensenada in one piece and are ready to grab their previously arranged rental car and head for the cabin. Only once again things go from bad to worse when they realize they've missed the time frame to pick the car up in and the only thing they can get is a yellow jeep with no top! Sporting sombreros to protect their heads and taking off again they run into one mishap after another yet AGAIN until finally arriving at ..... their trailer on the beach.

Gunn once again shows us her wonderful sense of humor as we wonder how these two sisters will ever survive this trip. Having read all of Gunn's previous Sisterchicks books and loving them, I found this particular one fell a tiny bit short not only the in the size of the book but in the relationship that developed between Joanne and Melanie. However the book does have many laugh out loud moments and you'll enjoy the special moments where Joanne talks to Melanie about her new relationship -- a relationship with God.

Sisterchick fans won't have too long to wait until the next book hits the shelves as it is due out in April of 2005 so be sure to mark your calendar as this time we are headed down under!
