Elin Hilderbrand

From New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand, a summertime story about identical twins who couldn't be any less alike. Nantucket is only two and a half hours away from Martha's Vineyard by ferry. But the two islands might as well be worlds apart for a set of identical twin sisters who have been at odds for years. When a family crisis forces them to band together--or at least appear to--the twins slowly come to realize that the special bond that they share is more important than the sibling rivalry that's driven them apart for the better part of their lives. A touching depiction of all the pleasures and annoyances of the sibling relationship, Elin Hilderbrand's next New York Times bestseller, THE IDENTICALS proves once and for all that just because twins look exactly the same doesn't mean they're anything alike.

The Identicals

The most wild part of this book is Elin thinking we don’t know what rock paper scissors is.

Identical twin sisters who couldn't look more alike...or live more differently. One unforgettable summer that will change their lives forever. Nantucket is only eleven miles away from Martha's Vineyard. But they may as well be worlds apart for estranged twin sisters Harper and Tabitha Frost. After not speaking for more than a decade, Harper and Tabitha switch islands-and lives-to save what's left of their splintered family. But the twins quickly discover that the secrets, lies, and gossip they thought they'd outrun can travel between islands just as easily as they can. Will Harper and Tabitha be able to bury the hatchet and end their sibling rivalry once and for all? Before the last beach picnic of the season, there will be enough old resentments, new loves, and cases of mistaken identity to make this the most talked-about summer that Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket have experienced in ages.

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.

I had seen this author on many posts on Instagram and had to give one of her books a try. It is just a great story and a cosy read. Twins each raised by one parent, and all the drams that can create.

Loved the story, I had been reading a lot of mysteries and serious stories and this was a great break from those. 

I will be reading more of her books, probably all.

A nice happy ending for a rollercoaster of a ride.

This book was both silly but enthralling. A story of two sisters torn apart at 17 due to a divorce and never forgave each other melds into 39 year old women behaving like teenagers. Something Hilderbrand does makes you not want to put the book down, though, and i found myself adding all of her audiobooks to my library wishlist before it was even finished.

It's the silly, lightheartedly serious beach read kind of book. It was exactly what I wanted and needed.

In my experience, you know what you’re getting with a Elin Hilderbrand book. Inter generational push and pull and love stories. I enjoy them as a lighter entertaining read.
