Too good to be true
So excellent that it defies belief, as in She loves all her in-laws? That’s too good to be true. This term expresses the skeptical view that something so seemingly fine must have something wrong with it. The term was part of the title of Thomas Lupton’s Sivquila; Too Good to be True (1580).
