The Identicals – Elin Hilderbrand<\/p><\/div>\n

Although they are identical twins, Harper and Tabitha Frost live completely separate, though parallel, lives.\u00a0 Harper, never married, lives on Marth’s Vineyard with her father, while Tabitha, also never married but a mother of a teenage daughter, lives on Nantucket with her mother.\u00a0 When their father dies and their mother breaks her hip returning home from the service, they find themselves on the other’s island: Harper on Nantucket taking care of her niece and running the family business and Tabitha on the Vineyard, rehabbing their father’s house to sell.\u00a0 Can they get past fourteen years of heartache, bad feelings and resentments to become family once again?<\/p>\n

The Identicals<\/em>, a 2017 Goodreads Choice Award nominee for fiction by Elin Hilderbrand, returns us to the luxurious vacation islands off the coast of Massachusetts for another intriguing beach read.\u00a0 The split between the sisters is a little far-fetched, but it is still an interesting tale.\u00a0 The Parent Trap<\/em>-esque switch between the two islands allows each sister to slough off what everyone expects of them and rediscover who they actually are, or want to be.\u00a0 The reconciliation at the end came on kind of quick, but, other than that, I can’t complain.\u00a0 I look forward to continuing my dive into Hilderbrand’s caralog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
