But on a more important note – I rely too heavily on the ending. I don’t read a lot of mystery/thriller novels. The story is told in reverse chronological order, ultimately leading us to find out how Jule got herself into trouble. We start off with Jule on the lam and we know something bad has happened – but we do not know what. Genuine Fraud tells the story of two friends – Jule and Imogen and their whirlwind friendship and it’s ultimate downfall. And this time, the whole reading experience was dampened.


And while at that time I was a completely different reader and back then a bad ending did not spoil the book, I had more or less the same experience with Genuine Fraud. And the issue was that I did not like it. I read We Were Liars back in the day, and had an issue with the ending. I had an ARC of this for so long, I decided to just go ahead and read it, since it was just staring at me from my Kindle. “For anyone who has been taught that good equals small and silent, here is my heart with all its ugly tangles and splendid fury.”
