Have you ever wanted to be someone else?
Imogen lives at the Playa Grande Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She spends her days working out in the hotel gym and telling other guests how she was forced out of Stanford.
But Imogen isn’t really Imogen. She’s Jule. And she’s on the run from something. Or someone. Which means . . . where is the real Imogen?
Rewind: Jule and Imogen are the closest of friends. Obsessed with each other, even. Imogen is an orphan, an heiress; she and Jule spend a summer together in a house on Martha’s Vineyard, sharing secrets they’d never reveal to another soul.
But that was months ago. Where is Immie now? And why is Jule using her name?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When we meet 18-year-old Jule at a Mexican resort, nothing about her is straightforward. She’s on the run with unlimited funds, spy-movie instincts, and obscure motives for fleeing from cities around the world—and from anything like a normal life. E. Lockhart—author of the supremely creepy bestseller We Were Liars—is in top form as she plays with jump-cut storytelling and the cliché of the action hero (Jule compares herself to Batman) and gives us tantalizing glimpses of the scared teen’s real emotions. Genuine Fraud is so gripping and startling that we pretty much read the whole thing in one sitting.
