Genuine Fraud

From the author of the unforgettable bestseller WE WERE LIARS comes a masterful new psychological suspense novel-the story of a young woman whose diabolical smarts are her ticket into a charmed life. But how many times can someone reinvent themselves? You be the judge. Imogen is a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat. Jule is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete. An intense friendship. A disappearance. A murder, or maybe two. A bad romance, or maybe three. Blunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate. The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains. A girl who refuses to give people what they want from her. A girl who refuses to be the person she once was. ----- Praise for GENUINE FRAUD 'It is so good and you will devour it in one sitting . Then re-read it immediately .' @gayleforman (Gayle Forman on Twitter) 'It's a captivating , suspenseful story made all the more bewitching by Lockhart's twisty narrative' Booklist ' Unsettling storytelling, filled with energy ' Kirkus, starred review 'An excellent choice recommended for teens and adults who love twisty mysteries and tough-as-nails teen girls' School Library Journal, starred review 'Lockhart blends the privileged glamour of WE WERE LIARS with a twisty, backward-running plot that's slick with cinematic violence . A bracing pace, a slew of far-flung locations, and a storyline that runs mostly in reverse will keep readers on their toes , never entirely sure of what these girls are responsible for or capable of.'
