About This Book

The fresh scent of hay and the crunch of gravel underfoot fill the air as two very different twins step into each other's shoes for the summer. One is a shy violin player, the other a sporty flirt — but swapping lives brings surprises neither expected. As secrets and feelings mix, they learn that being a twin means more than just looking alike.
