There's double trouble brewing in this fun Victorian-era romance!

Sophie and Mariah Carter are identical twins, and all each other have in the world. Orphaned, penniless, and virtual servants in the home of their foster parents, the twins are ecstatic when Sophie's letter to their rich aunt in London is returned--with an offer to let Sophie stay with her! However, there is a big problem. Aunt Bentley will only take Sophie in for a season so that she could find a husband. A little scheming can go a long way. At least, the girls hope...

Shenanigans quickly ensue as the girls each find themselves on adventures--Sophie to find a place as an apprentice inventor, Mariah to develop her art skills. But their time living a double life leads to the girls' introduction to two very different gentlemen... both of whom are falling in love with who they believe to be the one and only Sophie Carter. Will the girls find their happily-ever-after? Or will they get caught in their web of lies?

A brilliant historical fiction full of wit, fluff, and a great deal of swooning, "The Invention of Sophie Carter" is a fabulous read that is sure to delight readers. Readers will fall in love with Sophie and Mariah (as well as Ethan and Charles), and enjoy this fun romp through Victorian-era London.

This was such a fun Historical Fiction read!

The Invention of Sophie Carter is about orphaned twin sisters Sophie and Mariah. Determined to make a living as an inventor and no longer need to rely on others for charity, Sophie asks her estranged aunt if she can stay with her so she can attend the Great Exhibition. Her aunt agrees, but only to have Sophie as a guest. And only so Sophie can find a husband.

But Sophie is not going to leave her sister behind. Instead she comes up with a plan. Both sisters will go, and while Mariah pretends to be Sophie at her aunt's house, Sophie will attend the Great Exhibition and try to find an apprenticeship.

The characters had great development, the setting was fantastic (Victorian England!), and the plot was enjoyable.

I am really surprised how much I liked The Invention of Sophie Carter. This is not the typical book I would read but I have to admit I was hooked from the first chapter. I loved Sophie I thought she was a great character and the complete opposite how her twin Mariah, Mariah was one of those girls you can't help but love. I am also one of those crazy girls who will cry when a character dies in a book. Lets not forget the men in their lives Ethan and Charles these two found their perfect match. This was a great historical romance book and I hope others enjoy it as much as I did.

This Victorian YA romance was completely unputdownable.

Both sisters were so well developed and you couldnt help but get attached to them and to their male leads.

I had a particular soft spot for Sophie because she was the toughest and most determined of the twins, which reminded me a lot of my mother (also a twin).

As young, orphaned women in Victorian England, their prospects for creating the lives they want for themselves seem limited. Can they use their wits and creativity to find both love and independence? This fun, refreshing read will appeal to fans of Jane Austen.
