Twin sisters Harper and Tabitha were separated à la parent trap when their parents divorced. Since that time Harper has lived on Martha's Vineyard with their father, Billy, and Tabitha has been on Nantucket with their mother, Eleanor.

Resentments have built and the sisters have not spoken in 14 years. However, events transpire to bring them together. This prompts a trade of places for a short period of time, although they are themselves and not pretending to be the other. Will this summer bring about a reconciliation, or will it drive the sisters further apart?

Well narrated and an easy, enjoyable read.

4.5 rounded up to 5 :) another wonderful read from hilderbrand, i am so glad i have started reading her stuff

I normally enjoy Elin Hilderbrand's summer beach reads but this one was a little underwhelming. I didn't care for the characters and couldn't relate to them. I found the story somewhat boring as well so it was a disappointment for me. Maybe others would enjoy it more, it's just not for me. My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advance review copy of this book.

This was a great escape! “The Identicals” is my first Elin Hilderbrand book but it won’t be my last. Even though it isn’t very deep, its characters are interesting and complex and I felt I could root for all of them...although I think Tabitha was pretty terrible. I wish this book had some of the recipes included, all of the meals sounded amazing! This was a fun read!

Perfectly average beach read. Enjoyed it but it was fine, nothing to write home about but also nothing very bad to say either. A solid 3 stars.
