Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart
I almost didn’t buy Genuine Fraud because I am not a fan of another novel by E. Lockhart, We Were Liars, which got rave reviews because of it’s so-called shocking ending, but which I did not find shocking at all or even original. Yet I was tempted enough to buy Genuine Fraud because of the gimmick Lockhart uses in this novel: telling the story backwards. Again, not an original concept, but one that I will always be intrigued by mainly because I’m curious if the writer can pull it off and tell an interesting story that makes sense. Lockhart does pull it off in Genuine Fraud, but to mixed results.
