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."Parent Trap vibes with an adult twist...One of Hilderbrand's most binge-worthy confections." —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times Review Praise for THE IDENTICALS: “Parent Trap vibes with an adult twist… one of Hilderbrand’s most binge-worthy confections.”―Elisabeth Egan, New York Times"A sun-drenched treat." ―Kim Hubbard, People "Another Hilderbrand beach hit." ―Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today, 10 Hot Books You Won't Want to Miss This Summer"A fun, delightful, un-put-downable novel by the undisputed queen of the beach read."―Brenda Janowitz, Popsugar "Reading the latest Hilderbrand novel is as big a part of my summer vacation as a late afternoon glass of wine... she does a lovely job of describing life on the island of Nantucket." ―Georgea Kovanis, The Detroit Free Press"Made-for-the-beach escapism." ―Jane Henderson, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch"The Identicals is her best one yet.
