Review:
Genuine Fraud is one of those books that you hear about and how amazing it is but it’s not until you start reading it that it fully blows your mind!
This thriller is told backwards, so you meet a character with an interesting and mysterious life and wonder how did they get there?! But as you go back through the character’s history you get to see how and why! I love this approach, it is a unique way to tell the story and I am all here for it!!
Not only is it such a unique and wonderful story that gets majorly complimented by Lockhart’s wonderful writing. I mean this book was so well written that I fell more in love with the words rather than the story. The details, the phrasing, I am just here fricken loving it!!
This is generally the best YA thriller that I have ever read and I am soooo disappoint that it took me this long to read it!
Rating: 5/5
