The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand on Bette's Bookshelf
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. Just because twins look exactly the same doesn't mean they're anything alike–and Tabitha and Harper Frost have spent their whole lives trying to prove this point. When a family crisis forces them to band together–or at least appear to–the twins come to realize that the special bond that they share is more important than the resentments that have driven them apart.

This was a delightful read with enough suspense to keep you turning the pages and plenty of romance tucked in between the angst. I especially loved the beginning where the first few chapters were written from the island’s point of view – Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. The sister relationship, with all of its ups and downs felt genuine. And I do love sister stories (I have one and unfortunately lost one many years ago)
I enjoyed that The Identicals captured all of the ambiance and feel of the locations, it never felt weighted down with descriptive narrative. All in all, an excellent read.
