RYDER, Acting Chief Judge.
Nisa Vichaikul questions the trial court’s order granting the appellee’s motion for summary judgment on its complaint and on Vichaikul’s counterclaim. We hold that summary final judgment was improper: genuine issues of material fact remain unresolved. Moore v. Morris, 475 So. 2d 666 (Fla.1985); Holl v. Talcott, 191 So. 2d 40 (Fla.1966).
We agree with appellant that a failure of consideration is a defense to the contract. Howdeskell v. First National Bank of Clearwater, 369 So. 2d 432 (Fla. 2d DCA 1979). The affirmative defense of fraud is usually considered a jury question. L & S Food Services, Inc. v. Roberts Cafeteria, Inc., 422 So. 2d 45 (Fla. 2d DCA 1982). There remains a factual dispute as to whether Vichaikul’s agents relied upon the advertisement in advising her to enter into the contract in dispute.
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Justice Anthony Neal v. State, 669 So. 2d 1113 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996)…for the offenses of which appellant had been convicted is 4½ years. Therefore, the two consecutive sentences imposed which, together, add up to 5½ years, must be vacated, and the cases remanded for resentencing within the guidelines. Kelly v. State, 616 So. 2d 100 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993). The state correctly argues that it was not error to impose costs attributable to the law library and the Gulf Coast Criminal Justice Assessment, as those costs were established by a special act which was published in the Laws o…
