The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand
3.0

I needed a beachy read, and this one sort of delivered. It’s the story of 39-year-old twins who live on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and of course they are both very different and of course there are family misunderstandings that cause strife. I didn’t even see a beach until about halfway through the book. Every minor character has a huge backstory. And babies and motherhood fix everything.

I keep reading Hilderbrand’s books because they keep coming up as good beach reads; however, I think I keep picking the wrong ones because they don’t ring my bell like they should. I liked The Island, and I abandoned A Summer Affair. There is a dog in the story. If you’re like me, you’ll want to know if the dog lives.
SpoilerNot only does the dog live, but he even ‘narrates’ the epilogue!
This would have been 2.5 stars, but because Goodreads only allows full star ratings, it’s a three.
