Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t read an Elin Hilderbrand book that I didn‘t like. I become so attached to the characters in all of her books and this one was no different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The perfect #reread to kick off summer. The characters are realistically flawed without being melodramatic, and the setting is jealousy inducing. #womensfiction

It took me a few chapters to be fully invested in the characters however once I was I was hooked. This was a light read involving family dynamic and love.

Maybe it‘s because I‘ve always been a sucker for anything about twins, but I got sucked into this #audiobook and finished it in a day. Estranged twins Tabitha and Harper come together after the death of their father and pull a twin switch of sorts, with the added bonus of lots of rich people and the beautiful island of Nantucket. I love her books because despite them usually being very privileged, her characters seem like real people and there ⬇️

I really enjoyed this one! My first Erin Hilderbrand…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Who knew a game of rock, paper, scissors could dramatically affect someone‘s life?

Identical twins are forced to pick sides when their parents divorce and therefore grow up in two different worlds which leads to living two very different lives.

This was an easy listen for an audiobook and I appreciated the development of the main characters.

Still recommend reading 28 Summers by this author first.

Twin sisters, once inseparable, have spent most of their adult lives hating each other. Each has claimed an island as hers - one on Nantucket and one on Martha‘s Vineyard. The islands themselves are characters, and nearly the only ones who are not flawed. In spite of dislikable characters at times, I really enjoyed this story about family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was my September #bookspin. Two squares complete for #BookspinBingo! @TheAromaofBooks

What a G O R G E O U S morning! I am in my piece of heaven.

☀️ Super sunny spot
🍁 Cool breezes and perfect fall temperature
🎃 Pumpkin Spice coffee in my cup
📚 Entertaining book in my lap

Starting my #bookspin book for September! ❤️📚

This is my least favorite Hilderbrand so far. Just too much! I think having it split between Nantucket and Martha‘s Vineyard and all the people and locales, just too many storylines and extraneous characters. I think the #audiobook could‘ve been 1.5-2 hours shorter and packed a better punch.

However, the last chapter from the dog‘s perspective completely undid me, and I‘ve been crying because I still miss Henry! 😭🐩💔

I love Hilderbrand‘s books as they tend to be a little deeper then a cozy romance. They focus on family dynamics with a side of romance. This one is about twins with mommy issues. I loved that this story takes place not only on Nantucket as per usual but also Martha‘s Vineyard. Perfect beach read.🏝 Book 61 4⭐️

I love Elin Hilderbrand books. They are the perfect summer book. This one did not disappoint me. It was about identical twin sisters who basically switch places. I liked how the story progressed. It was also interesting at the end in the author notes that she mentioned that she has a twin brother.

I have a pile of Elin Hildebrand books to work through and there seems to be a rhythm to her books. I want to spend a summer where the everyday vernacular is to say down-island‘. A couple flaws in the 39 yr old identical twin comparisons, but so what!

Getting some time to read today

Used to be a Finish What I Started Reader. This year I've bailed on more books than ever. Sometimes because they were depressing, I just didn't like characters or for whatever reason couldn't get into the story. Often times they are books that others loved. With so many books I want to read, I'm embracing Read What Makes Me Happy. Reading should be fun not something you struggle through just because everyone else loved it. 🤓

This was my first Hilderbrand! I really enjoyed it as a light summer read. Which of her books should I add to my TBR next? She‘s written so many it‘s overwhelming!

I also finished this one today. Ms. Hilderbrand truly is the queen of beach reads. This was everything it should be. A sweet story and a happy ending. And all the east coast beachiness you could possibly ask for.

Listening to this summery book today on Audible.

Fun read

"The beach is stunning—a wide swath of sand that extends in both directions with only a few people visible in the distance. The waves pound the sand, and Fish runs to the water‘s edge and barks his happiness, his relief. He has missed the ocean."

A nice summery read perfect for this time of year.

Whenever I feel like something light I always turn to Ms. Hilderbrand.

Wow. 2 Bails in 2 Days. I used to never Bail. Listened to several chapters of Midnight just couldn't get in to it. Skipped to last chapter. Meh. Identicals is for a Book Club that I sometimes attend. 2 Chapters and I'm out. Thinking I'll skip this month. Can't do books about family drama and ESPECIALLY women who continually make stupid decisions. 🤦‍♀️

What a surprise! This was my first by this author, and I enjoyed it WAY more than I was expecting to. This was the perfect summer beach read.... rich people problems, gorgeous island settings (Nantucket/ Martha‘s Vineyard), plenty of family struggles and shenanigans, flawed characters and a happy ending. This was definitely a #rightbookrighttime kinda thing. Just what I was in the mood for, and I‘ll read this author again.

The Frost twins haven‘t talked in fourteen years. But now... https://www.bluestockingreviews.com/blog/the-identicals

The latest book in my bag.. I'm all about the summer books right now

This was such a fun read. What does it say about me that I am conflicted to give it four stars because it isn‘t quite literature? No matter, four stars it is because it‘s exactly what I wanted and needed to read over the course of last 24 hours. And I think my next book will be another Elin Hilderbrand!

This seems to be a fun, easy summer read. Jumping in!

1. Most of Elin Hildebrand‘s covers remind me of summer.
2. Can‘t choose! I liked The Book of Essie, but I just started Behold the Dreamers and love it!
3. Spending a lot of quality time with my hubby and daughter!
4. Fun summer plans happening now! Enjoying our Nevis vacay tremendously! Also on the summer agenda: trip to NYC to see HP and the Cursed Child 🎉😃, my half-sister‘s wedding in VA, and a hiking trip to the mountains.

This is my first Hilderbrand book and i think it will be my last since I‘m not a chick lit fan. Her dialogue is annoying- so much Tabitha said,Harper said,Tabitha said... And her litany of designer clothing (plus prices),menu items, and designer home goods was overdone. I‘m wondering if she got paid every time she mentioned a designer or a restaurant?

That being said, it‘s a decent story that is perfect for the beach.

Finished this audio in just a couple of days. I enjoyed it. Hilderbrand has a way of drawing you into each character‘s world and wanting to invest your time in them.

Started this yesterday. Her new book (The Perfect Couple out 6/19) is a mystery. Something new for Hilderbrand.
I‘m enjoying this one☝️ so far. Hilderbrand always does a nice job developing her characters.

Really enjoyed this book! Not something I usually read, but glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to read something new! Can‘t wait to read more from Elin Hilderbrand #BoundByHallowsBookClub

Growing up I watched The Parent Trap (with Hayley Mills) too many times to count. And Elin Hildebrand offers a taste of that with this story. This was a fun, quick read and perfectly suited to my need for a lighter read this weekend.

Quintessential beach read! I had quit reading her quite a few years ago and decided to give this one a try. Glad I did. I really enjoyed it.

Some outdoor reading and relaxing with my favorite Dutch Bros iced latte. 🌞🥤📚

Reading a few pages before I take this one to the vet. He had a seizure “like” episode today (his 5th) so we‘re going for an adjustment (acu/chiro) as we think it‘s spine related.
Anyway. The teenager in this book is making me mental. I seriously want to punch her and tell her to quit being a complete and utter a$$hole to her mother. She better redeem or herself and I‘ll be mad.

Ok so I‘m going with this instead. My previous post (now deleted) had a topic I just don‘t want to read about right now so I changed gears.

This is the first book I have read by Elin Hildebrand. I actually listened to the audio book. The narrator wasn‘t great so I was slow to warm to the novel. I enjoyed it enough while I was reading but just felt Meh when it was it was over. It won‘t stop me from picking up another of her novels.

Twin sisters split parent trap style during their parents divorce live on the competing islands of Nantucket and Martha‘s Vineyard, not speaking up until the day an unfortunate series of events causes them to have to switch lives for awhile.

Definitely a character driven novel. There‘s nothing special about it but when I finished I turned around and ordered a few more of her books because it managed to make me forget it was snowing in April.

Maybe if I read a beach book the weather will get the message and hurry up with the warm already.

I liked it, kept me reading, interesting and complex characters but I didn‘t really like them very much. Not one of my favorites of hers so far.
