Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart
2.0

Early copy courtesy of Penguin Teen. This doesn't affect my opinions or my review.

Dnf, page 137. 50%.

I was skeptical going into this because I dnf We Were Liars when I read it last year. I wasn't actually going to read this at all if I hadn't gotten an early copy. But I did, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing read. The story had potential but was, ultimately, boring. I fell asleep while reading, something I've never done before today. I found the story confusing, and Jule came off as fairly plain. Sometimes she was Jule and others she was Imogen, and I couldn't keep up. Also, this book helped me realize that books that start with one event and then go backward are just not for me. I made sure to get to halfway, but that was really just for formalities. I had a feeling I wouldn't finish this and I ended up being right. I'll stop here since I didn't read the complete book. I think E.'s books just aren't for me.
