Imogen references walking in on two female roommates having sex. Jule witnesses Imogen having sex in the pool with her boyfriend. At times it seems like she has feelings for Imogen, but it’s hard to tell whether those feelings are sexual.Įxtreme profanity and some crude language used often throughout the book. Lockhart instead, or WE ARE THE GOLDENS by Dana Reinhardt. If you prefer stories where you like the characters and grow to like them more as the story progresses and you understand them more, GENUINE FRAUD is not likely to be the kind of book you’d enjoy. If you’re into darker lit, GENUINE FRAUD is probably right up your alley. It’s definitely one of those stories that looks at the darker impulses of being human: selfishness, obsession, greed. Even when I didn’t want to know what happened, I felt like I had to finish the story. That’s how I felt about some of the scenes in the book. The words create this kind of aloof, calm sense, but somehow that makes what the poem tells all the more shocking and disturbing. Some of the book reminded me a little bit of a poem I read once by Robert Frost, which I think is about a boy killed with an axe. I suspected a few of the twists before they happened, but some things took me completely by surprise.
It created this choppy, suspenseful story where Jule’s completely in control of the narrative. (Like the movie Memento with Edward Norton.) It’s also told in a choppy timeline, where each chapter jumps backward a bit and then runs forward to end where the previous chapter began. There’s not– the whole story is told from Jule’s perspective. From the description, I think I expected there to be two points of view, Imogen and Jule. I was not expecting this book to be as dark as it was.
