Review Detail of Vera_Anne_Wolf in The Bona Fide Fraud

I read up to chapter 3. I’m still not sure where the plot is going or when it will connect to the theme of the title “the bona fide fraud” makes me think someone is hiding who they are, or faking their wealth, or something along that nature. So far we have an 18 years old protagonist named Gemma who recently dropped out of college, lost her scholarship, but has now been staying at a resort for 5 weeks. If she is already working some sort of scam (this is me going out on a limb based on the context of the story title here) I would appreciate the details of this early on so the reader can enjoy the thrill of that scam with her. A bartender named Larry, and as yet unnamed woman were the only other characters introduced. The back story was interesting, and certainly showed Gemma as a strong independent young woman. The dialogue was creative, and unexpected in a way I found refreshing and engaging. But if I’m being honest it felt like the overall plot was lost a bit.
