On My Bedside {The Identicals}

This one was in my pool, beach and travel bag in the late fall and I forgot to give y’all a short review until I turned it up cleaning out my closet.

The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand

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.

The Identicals was an easy, enjoyable read. I’ve loved twin stories ever since Parent Trap and Full House. Oh, and the Sweet Valley series was a highlight of my childhood. (anyone else?!) As I’m sure y’all have gathered, I also really a good beach read with a little drama, a dash of romance and a good dog. So, picking this one out was a no-brainer.

I’m going to switch book themes from summer to winter as Alaskan Holiday is currently on my bedside and Where the Crawdads Sing in the hopper. What’s on yours?
