Publisher’s 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.

HerKentucky Review: I love this book, y’all. It’s probably my favorite Elin Hilderbrand book. Identical twins Harper and Tabitha Frost have been estranged for over a decade, even though they live only eleven miles apart. Set on Massachusetts’ twin islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, the Identicals is a story of the ways we hurt the people we love the most. The characters are vivid and complex in this one; I especially adore the twins’ mother, an homage to Lilly Pulitzer.
