Oh God, I'm still so baffled by everything about Genuine Fraud. I think Lockhart fails to understand that being really pissed off that you personally are not on the tippy-top of the privilege ladder is not the same thing as being opposed to privilege, oppression, and injustice, and this is why she keeps creating protagonists (not just Jule in Genuine Fraud but also Frankie from The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks) who she treats as heroic rebels when actually they're basically social climbers. Frankie wants to be part of her boyfriend's all-male secret society; Jule wants to have lots of money. Neither of them give a hang about anyone else who has been excluded from the secret society or the echelons of the rich.
