Cover reveal for E. Lockhart’s upcoming YA novel, GENUINE FRAUD

E. Lockhart’s upcoming novel, GENUINE FRAUD, looks into complex relationships in another unique story by the author of We Were Liars. 

E. Lockhart, the author of the bestselling novel We Were Liars, has a new book coming out this fall, titled Genuine Fraud.

Edgy and inventive, Genuine Fraud is an instantly memorable story of love, betrayal, and entangled relationships that are not what they seem. Lockhart introduces readers to the story of Imogen and Jule—Imogen, a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat; Jule, a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete. This is a novel about intense friendship, a disappearance, murder, bad romance, a girl who refuses to give people what they want from her, and a girl who refuses to be the person she once was. Who is genuine? And who is a fraud? You be the judge. Follow #GenuineFraud for conversation about the book.

Not surprisingly, the book has already garnered international attention with getting licensed rights in the U.K. to Hot Key Books, as well as Australia and New Zealand to Allen & Unwin. Those international versions will be published immediately following the U.S. publication.

Genuine Fraud is set to be published September 5, 2017. Pre-order it now.
