I really enjoyed this book. The characters drew me in from the beginning, and the short chapters made the pages turn quickly.
I felt for Pete and Maggie throughout the whole book, from their troubles with Theo’s premature birth and through the many investigations into the switch. I cringed at every innocent mistake--be careful what you put online, because this book proves how easy it is for innocent actions to get twisted into something nefarious!
I know swapped baby stories are a bit of a cliche, but I still enjoy them. I think the dilemma of the fallout is fascinating--I honestly don’t know what I would do in that situation. I’m not a parent, so maybe I’ll have a stronger opinion once I have kids. And this book brought so much more to the table--addiction, mental illness, gender roles, abuse, and adultery. There’s also some interesting discussion about nature vs. nurture, but the children don’t grow old enough to see how that plays out within the timeline of the book.
