This is a beach read, so my four stars is relative to other beach reads, not relative to the other four star books on my list...I tried to only give this book three stars but my heart wouldn't let me.

I truly enjoyed this book. The characters felt real to me; their behaviors fit them. There were loads of characters but I didn't have trouble keeping them straight. The writing style was a little stilted at first, and it was obviously written quickly (a reference c 2003 to the Gosselins should have been caught) but it was the perfect read for me this week.

I finished a book! This book deserves five stars for making me stick to it long enough to finish it. I finished a book!!! But of course it's Elin Hilderbrand. She doesn't disappoint.

The Identicals

I loved this book. Great summer read. I loved all the characters, and especially how it flip flops back and forth between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard to tell the stories of Harper and Tabitha. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

3.5 stars. it was good but I've gotten away from enjoying this type of book as much as I used to.

This book was decently interesting. It was quite a few characters whose lives intertwine. If I was editing, I may have cut a few. I always hate the theme of infidelity, but this book approves/celebrates it. It’s not steamy, and it is worth reading until the end.

Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favourite writers. Have read so many of her works I can't name them all. But this novel is certainly top on my list. LOVED the characters, and especially the twin theme. Interesting to learn she is a twin! I hope there is a sequel.....
emotional funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Classic Elin Hildebrand book. Cute and funny !! I liked the epilogue i thought it was really cute 


Good, light summer reading. pretty typical of her work but still enjoyable.

I forgot what fun, guilty pleasures Hilderbrand's books are. I kind of wish this storyline would continue as I liked the characters and their story arc.

Parent Trap, but definitely not the parent trap. I love Elin hilderbrand's characters, complete with flaws and charms and everything in between. This is my third (I think) book of hers and none have yet disappointed me.
A great summer read!
