This was pretty great. One of the best suspense/thriller books I’ve read this year. The short chapters made it really fast paced it and easy to sail through.

5.0

This book has some serious, serious trigger warnings: baby swapping, postpartum psychosis, and psychopathy are a few things at play in Playing Nice (no pun intended). But if you can handle all that, DAMN this is a good book! I ended up really enjoying it and raced through it to find out what would happen. The ending was satisfactory in my eyes. Delaney is a force to be reckoned with here, and I can't wait for the next one! 5 stars.

Imagine finding out that your child was swapped at birth & the child you have been raising for years is actually the son of a psychopath...

Another great book from this writer, a fast and compulsive read with some good twists along the way. I would recommend all of J.P. Delaney’s books, he seems to have the formula just right.

2.0

Two years after very long and extensive neonatal ICU stays due to severe prematurity, it is discovered that Theo and David were switched at the hospital. Strong willed Theo is being raised by Pete and Maddie. Pete is a reporter/writer turned stay at home dad, and is focused on parenting Theo in the best possible way. Miles and Lucy are parenting David, who has long lasting special needs due to the damage he suffered at birth due to the prematurity. Upon confirmation that the boys were switched, the four parents try to peacefully be involved in both boys' lives, but soon enough Miles and Lucy begin the process to take both of the boys, while getting Pete and Maddie to be declared as unfit parents.

While there are a few twists and turns in this book, it simply didn't connect with me. I found all of the characters to be unlikeable, and the investigation into the baby switching and parenting to be completely unrealistic. All of this made me simply not care who switched the babies, or who ended up with them. It was work to finish the book, so I'm leaving it at two stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my review.

My 3rd JP Delaney, and it didn't disappoint!

A solid thriller, I felt like the meat of the mystery solving happened in the final chapters which came off as slightly rushed, but despite the slow-ish start, I really got into it.

JP Delaney is able to write such believably horrible male characters, honestly second to none! None of his characters are ever morally in the clear, all of them have flaws that he explores in really interesting ways.

I wish we'd spent a bit more time with David, Theo, and Lucy, I think I could've become a lot more attached to them.
