"This book was wonderful ... one of the best yet! Not only was it a wonderful "armchair travel" to New Zealand and Australia, it was an inspirational story of loving extravagantly and living life to the fullest. Lots of fun, laughs, a few tears; a thoroughly enjoyable, easy read, but lots to think about for days to come!"

— Faithfulreader.com" I enjoyed getting into the characters and it was a good relaxing read. "
— Michelle, 2/12/2014" Love the quote from page 79... What would my life look like if I started to love extravagantly?.... The message rings beautifully throughout the book... Love God and love people. Not one or the other. It has to be both! "
— Jo, 2/9/2014" An enjoyable read but note that there are strong Christian overtones. I liked the point that forgiveness can bring you further in your life. And their visits to sightseeing locations in Australia were fun to follow. A strong female friendship in a book is always a plus for me. "
— Elizabeth, 2/5/2014" a great quick read and definitely made me want to visit Austrailia "
— Amy, 1/26/2014" Adjusting to new surroundings and making new friends make for a beautiful story about God, Girlfriends, and Good times. Robin Jones Gunn, as usual, makes this simple read a non-guilty pleasure :) "

— Cami, 11/11/2013" don't waste your time....alot of time spent trying to convince you that something is funny when it truly is not....alot of beating a dead horse to try to get a chuckle. "
— Rhonda, 10/23/2013" This is a lighthearted fast read. The book was a gift and while I enjoyed the story and wouldn't be opposed to reading more in the series, I won't be going out of my way to make it happen. "
— Connie, 9/9/2013" I'm half-way through. It's a decent story with mid-life characters (a bit older than me and at a different time of life). It's not elegant or deep writing, but there's a nice message that's not too preachy. And, it's set in New Zealand and Austrailia, so that's interesting. "
— Laura, 10/22/2012" WIfe accompanys husband on a film job and discovers chocolate fish. Visit the Opera House. "
