Such a Good Liar by Sue Wallman | Waterstones

The Good Liar, much like its protagonist, talks big game but is really just confused about its identity and place in the world. Her latest offering is just as fiendish, with meticulous plotting and pacing that never relents for a second. And when she meets someone new on the island and starts to develop real feelings, can that connection survive when nothing else is real? A highly sensitive person tends to be hyperaware of their surroundings and overwhelmed by sensory input.

Shannon "becomes" Lydia so the real Lydia can summer with her boyfriend, and the fake Lydia can get revenge on the family that is responsible for killing her mother. It features delicious performances by Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen – I don’t think McKellen has had such a juicy role since his turn in the 1998 drama Apt Pupil – and the film has such storytelling gusto that you’ll overlook bits of implausible silliness involving smartphone-type “handsets” with which large financial sums can supposedly be transferred from one bank account to another. When a storm hits the island and all routes to the mainland are cut off, Lydia is given the perfect opportunity to exact her murderous revenge. They play off each other beautifully despite the material, and they get a chance to indulge in the aforementioned range of sound and fury. It isn’t long before Roy has actually moved in as a platonic house guest to the astonished disapproval of Betty’s grandson Steven ( Russell Tovey) a postgraduate student who occasionally stays overnight at Betty’s house.After the war ended, Lili suffered at the hands of the Russians, learning to be a good liar for survival. They also mention that when subjects are assured anonymity, social desirability bias is limited and that often the study itself provides no sources of motivation to lie about one's own behavior.
