So Which is Better Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard?
Another
summer delight from one of my favorite authors Elin Hilderbrand in her novel
The Identicals. In this story a set of
twins is separated by two different settings one is in Nantucket while the other
is in Martha’s Vineyard. I personally
have not been to either but would love the chance to go to both. Are the twins really the same or different?

Synopsis:
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. (Amazon)
My Thoughts:
I loved this
novel. It was like going back and
reading a version of the parent trap. The
major difference is that both twins are grown and living their own lives. Readers will find this novel very
satisfying. I loved how she used the
settings of Martha Vineyard and Nantucket to compare and contrast the twin’s
different lives. It was fun learning a
little about Martha’s Vineyard too. This
novel is definitely something you want in your beach bag.
Rating:
5/5
