It’s told backwards chronologically, which while at times was confusing, was an oddly satisfying way of reading a mystery, seeing bit by bit what led to each major event, how the tensions built, how a story seemingly so far fetched and with so much deception came to be. However, one thing worth noting is the unique formatting of this novel. Lockhart’s talent to create a fleshed out mystery in under 300 pages that manages to subvert all of your expectations and leave you with literary whiplash from the plot twist.Īs Genuine Fraud is a thriller, there’s a lot I won’t be able to talk about in this review. While lacking the mysterious prose style of We Were Liars, it delivered on E. So I knew without a doubt that I would be reading Genuine Fraud once I learned of its release. Lockhart’s writing, and I fell firmly into the camp of those who adored it- it was eerie and haunting and the writing was almost otherworldly. I think everyone in the book blogging community knows that We Were Liars was an extremely divisive book- bloggers either LOVED it or HATED it. A girl who refuses to give people what they want from her.A girl who refuses to be the person she once was.

The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains. A bad romance, or maybe three.Blunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate. Jule is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete. Imogen is a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat. But how many times can someone reinvent themselves? You be the judge.

The story of a young woman whose diabolical smarts are her ticket into a charmed life.
