She's faking her way into the most exclusive social circles for revenge. But how long can her lies hold up? Seventeen-year-old Lydia Cornwallis has arrived on an exclusive Caribbean island populated only by the ultra-rich and their staff. The Harrington sisters rule the island, throwing lavish parties and treating everyone around them like toys for their amusement, and Lydia simply can't wait to meet them. Because she's not Lydia Cornwallis. And the Harringtons have hell to pay for what they've done. 

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. With time running out and her identity about to be exposed, Lydia will need to draw on epic nerve, quicksilver adaptability, and sly cunning to carry out her deadly plans.

I was excited about this book; it sounded like the type I love reading. I enjoyed Such A Good Liar , but not as much as I thought I would when I came across the book. Most of the story kept my attention, and there were parts of the book where you wondered what would happen next. I wondered what sort of revenge Shannon would come up with. I wondered if Shannon would go through with a vengeance; I knew she wanted to for her mother, but she didn’t seem the type to me. Most of all, I was sure somebody would figure out that she wasn’t Lydia at some point. I wondered who would be the first to put two and two together. Some parts of the story kept you on the edge of your seat, craving more. 

Throughout the book, I was waiting for that revenge, but the ending wasn’t what I thought it would be. It was unexpected. I feel like there should been more than there was; it didn’t feel complete to me. There were a few parts in the book where I had difficulty putting down the book because I wanted to see what would happen next. What would happen when it is discovered that she wasn’t Lydia? Would she be able to complete her mission before that happened? Some parts of the book kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me on turning the pages. Such A Good Liar is a book worth giving a chance to, and I’m glad I got a chance to read it.
