Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart

3.0

---

I loved E. Lockhart’s other book, We Were Liars, so I was very excited to read this book. Sadly, the two cannot be compared. I found the way the story was told in this book to be a bit confusing at times, since the first chapter was the end, and each chapter following went further and further back in time at sporadic intervals, ranging from a few hours to several months. While it was interesting to read a book told like this, I felt like it didn’t help at all for me to like the main character. It kept you from getting attached to any other characters as well. I also found that there were hardly any reveals in this book, as I was able to work out what had happened since we already knew the ending.
