I’ll let you guys be the judge for yourselves, but it just wasn’t as conclusive as I would have hoped for a standalone novel to be. I was pretty satisfied with that ending, but Genuine Fraud just didn’t do it for me. The ending was lack-luster for me, the way most people felt at the end of We Were Liars. Lockhart’s writing is because she chooses unique approaches in forming her stories Low marks for: Unsatisfying ending to Jule’s story, confusing timeline at some points High marks for: Pretty cover, Cool written-backwards concept, Constant sense of mystery The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains.Ī girl who refuses to give people what they want from her.Ī girl who refuses to be the person she once was. A murder, or maybe two.īlunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate. Jule is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete.Īn intense friendship. 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. After that experience, I was very much looking forward to Genuine Fraud when I heard it was coming out! I found the ARC hidden behind others at work and pretty much thought I had hit the jackpot. Lockhart’s writing isn’t for everyone, but I thought it was interesting and different from a lot of other YA contemporaries I had read before. Lockhart’s last previous YA thriller, We Were Liars, and I really loved it.
