Historical Fiction

This is a historical fiction. This book starts out in 1910 in England. Twins Lily and Artie faces so many things in this book. This book shows the love between twins and the hard times of the early 1900's in England. It also looks at the difference between girls and boys during that time period. The book is told for the point of view of the girl twin, Lily. I think the book is very well written and the characters was well developed. Well reading this book I found myself feeling like I was there with the characters. I loved this book a lot. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
