Identical twin sisters who couldn't look more alike...or live more differently. Harper Frost is laid-back, easygoing. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She likes a beer and a shot and wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything fashionable.

She's inherited her father's rundown house on Martha's Vineyard, but she can't hold down a job, and her latest romantic disaster has the entire island talking. Two beautiful islands only eleven miles apart.

Tabitha Frost is dignified, refined. She prefers a fine wine and has inherited the impeccable taste of her mother, the iconic fashion designer Eleanor Roxie-Frost. She's also inherited her mother's questionable parenting skills--Tabitha's teenage daughter, Ainsley, is in full rebellion mode--and a flailing fashion boutique on Nantucket in desperate need of a cash infusion.

One unforgettable summer that will change their lives forever. After more than a decade apart, 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.


雙胞胎姊妹的外表，像到簡直是同一個模子生出來的，然而表現在外的卻截然不同。哈波．佛洛斯特與世無爭，很隨和，不在意別人對她的看法，喜歡喝啤酒和烈酒，要她穿任何時髦的服飾簡直要她的命。

她繼承了她父親在瑪莎葡萄園島的農莊，但她卻無法長久受限於固定的工作。最近她一場災難般的愛情，引發島上的人們熱烈討論。這兩座美麗的島嶼只相隔十一哩遠。

塔碧莎．佛洛斯特散發出優雅而高貴的氣質。相較於哈波，她比較喜歡小酌高檔的美酒。母親是首席服裝設計師愛蓮娜．蘿西—佛洛斯特，塔碧莎除了承襲其一絲不茍的品味，也傳承了評價兩極的媽媽經。塔碧莎十幾歲的女兒安絲莉目前處於叛逆期，而在南塔克特島一間與時尚背道而馳的精品店，目前正迫切需要資金注入。

在一個令人難忘的夏季，將發生徹底改變她們人生的事。分開十多年後，哈波和塔碧莎為了拯救她們所剩無幾的破碎家庭，交換彼此的身份、對調所居住的島嶼。然而雙胞胎不久便發現，她們認為可擺脫的秘密、謊言、流言，卻可輕易在島嶼之間往返。

哈波和塔碧莎能夠化解紛爭，一勞永逸地終結家族之間的鬥爭嗎？在這季最後一次沙灘野餐前，瑪莎葡萄園島和南塔克特島發生的新仇舊怨、舊愛新歡、身份錯亂，多到可以讓今年的夏天成為兩地多年以來最具話題性的夏季。

Elin Hilderbrand

Elin Hilderbrand is six minutes older than her twin brother, Eric. She spent time on Martha's Vineyard (summer 1989) before she ever discovered Nantucket (summer 1993), the island she has called home for twenty-four years.

Hilderbrand is the mother of three busy teenagers (pause and consider what a miracle it is that this novel even exists). The Identicals is her nineteenth novel.
