A note for parents

Genuine Fraud is a dark, mystery-driven young adult thriller centered on a toxic friendship that culminates in murder. The narrative is told in reverse chronological order and features morally compromised protagonists, psychological manipulation, and significant plot twists rather than traditional character growth. While not graphically violent, the book contains mature themes including substance use, references to sexual content, and deep psychological darkness that make it more appropriate for older teens who enjoy complex, unsettling narratives.
