Even though the book can be slightly confusing at times and is much different than how most books are written it is an AMAZING read. I read the whole book within two days I just couldn't put it down. The book is told backwards slowly…

I was so into this book that I read in one day! The story is about a girl named Jule who pretends to be her best friend Imogen, or Immie. They are both orphans, but with different backgrounds and personalities. The book is told in a…

Though the book is kind of confusing if you’re reading it for the first time. To this day it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and I highly highly recommend this book! Another amazing book by e. lockhart is ‘we were liars’, that book…

Genuine Fraud is mysterious, romantic, thrilling, definitely not like anything I've ever read before. I remember reading this years ago and stopping because it was confusing, but here I am in 2020 under quarantine and I've finally finished…

This book was so interesting and surprising. It is a backwards novel which means it starts at chapter 18 and makes its way to chapter 1 and then back to chapter 19 – confusing right? It is my first time reading something like that and I…

I picked this book after reading and loving We were liars. Another great read written by E. Lockhart. A young adult version of The talented Mr. Ripley.

Genuine Fraud is a book unlike any I have ever read before. The reverse chronological order is definitely not something I'm used to. The biggest problem I had with this book was the inability for me to relate. It's difficult for me to…

This book was written in a format I've never seen before, so it was definitely a new experience reading. However, while the story was intriguing throughout, I found the characters not to be as relatable as I would have liked. Being as the…

In a small way, I think it's unfortunate that Lockhart is so well known for We Were Liars, to which this will inevitably be compared, because I think it has more in common with her earlier (and superior, in my mind) The Disreputable…

At first I found this book really fascinating, with the unreliable narrator and wild plot. But the main character went unredeemed and I didn't like her or empathize with her. The other huge problem with this book is that it reminded me way…

Genuine Fraud was a great YA thriller because the main character Jules was a fantastic, complex character and her bestfriend Imogen was a fascinating trainwreck. There was plenty of twists and moments that made you realise each action was…

I liked this book! I picked it up because I loved We Were Liars. It is suspenseful and kept me very intrigued. I loved how the story a was told in reverse sequence. It was a little tricky getting used to it but I thought it really added…

This book is rather unique. It's written backwards. The chapters are numbered backwards. You find out the information backwards. I enjoyed this mystery and I hear it is going to be made into a movie. I found the main character's…

This was a dissappintment after reading "we were liars." I absolutely loved Liars, but this one fell short. There were some similarities in the communication style of Jule and Palo to Gat and Cadence, but other than that I found the book…

I really enjoyed this book. Lockhart's writing style flows easily, the main characters are intriguing, and the suspense in this story makes you want to keep reading. I finished this book in one night! If you read her other suspense novel…

Much like "We Were Liars" makes you evaluate events and the role that an entire family has in events, "Genuine Fraud" makes you evaluate exactly what a friendship is and is Jule more one than the other. When we meet Jule she is living…
