The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

I really enjoyed reading The Twin's Daughter. It was slow in the beginning, but after Part 1 the book picked up considerably. One seemingly normal day in early 1900s London, Lucy Sexton (age 13) opens her front door to find her mother in a completely disheveled state. However, she soon finds out it is not her mother, but her mother's twin with whom she was separated from at birth. Lucy begins to find herself not being able distinguish her mother from her aunt, which leads to more of the rising action in the novel.

On another front, as Lucy grows into a young woman, she falls for Kit Tyler. Kit lives next door and was a boy Lucy once hated.

I really thought I had this book figured out, but I was dead wrong. Lauren Baratz-Logsted did a brilliant job writing this novel.
