fantasynovel 's review for:

Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart

5.0

---

brb, I'm dying!! Goddamn, my new aesthetic is a girl switching wigs and wiping off her makeup in an elevator. yes, there were some plot points that didn't make so much sense, like why the detectives would think Jule was Imogen. Jule absconding with the money makes so much more sense than Imogen! But honestly, those little things don't compare to how amazing over all this story was. And the whole "telling the story backwards" thing was genius. I know it's been done before, but it was super chilling anyway to see Jule work backwards. Her methods, her cold-bloodedness, her affinity for being anyone completely won me over. Jule could stab a grandma and I'd be like, "You're doing great, sweetie!" honestly, she's much more likable than male characters who treat their girlfriends terribly and are redeemed by the storyline. long story short, E. Lockhart has the juice.
