*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Alright, time to be honest, I totally read this book for the cover. I mean, come on, it's gorgeous right? And any book set in Maine will always hit my soft spot just right, especially since it's set so close to Portland (and a few of my favorite spots were actually mentioned in the book, which was an unexpected and sweet surprise!). 

I think I would describe this book as an adult parent trap where the twins didn't meet each other until the death of one of the parents; there was a lot of sisterly tension, a lot of petty fights and hurt feelings, and, at the end of the day, a kind of familial love that can't easily be captured. I wasn't in love with either of the female protagonists (Lucy overplayed her "poor me" hand a little too often for my liking, and Vivian was a rude cheater), but I can also appreciate how flawed and well-developed they were as characters. Orenstein did a commendable job of crafting two women who felt very real, and whose stories felt genuine.
