Genuine Fraud

Call me crazy, but this book is way better than We Were Liars.

 

Genuine Fraud is written so uniquely....I mean, it's backwards. The whole story is told in reverse which is a treat for someone like me who reads the endings first. Reading the story in reverse was such a cool experience because it's all hindsight. As soon as you read the next chapter, you're immediately going, "Ohhhhhhh, okay. I see."

Not to mention the unreliable narrator, Jule. I can honestly say she kept me guessing what was happening the entire book without ever landing on the right answer. But somehow everything fit together so well.

 

The premise of the book is simple, Jule is grieving the apparent suicide of her friend Imogen. But if that's all that happened.....why is Jule running? Things tend to have a way of getting buried, especially when everyone involved has money. The drama, the elitism, and the unreliability really make the story.

Looking for other books by E. Lockhart?
