Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart

Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart was a really fun book.  I loved Lockhart's last book, We Were Liars, so I was really looking forward to reading this one.  It didn't disappoint.

This story was told in a really interesting way, in reverse order.  It starts with Chapter 18 and then works backwards down to Chapter 1.   As the story begins, the reader meets Jule and Imogen and we have an idea of who these girls are.  But as the story line works its way backward, the mystery of who they really are unfolds in a beautiful way. 

If you are a fan of E. Lockhart, this one will definitely satisfy you as a reader.
