I’d say 4.5. SO good! So griping. 2 babies are switched at birth...you find out when they are 2. What do you do? Everyone has secret baggage that unrolls throughout the book. You’ll probably dislike many if not all of the characters at some point. It also brings ho the point of nature vs nurture which is interesting. It is a page turner until the last page.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I found the first part of this book really difficult to get through. It wasn’t badly written or even uninteresting, it was actually quite stressful and very clever. I just didn’t fully connect with the direction the story was taking. When I got to about half way through the pace picked up and I started to enjoy it. The format of the narrative and constant changing of perspective kept me on edge. The ending didn’t quite have the impact I expected, but I can say that, ultimately, I enjoyed this book.

Pretty good maybe 3.5. Took me forever to finish. There was a lot of fast paced changes but I always put the book down before I got to them, which made my reading pretty slow. Hm... there was a decent twist. Story Didn’t really captivate me in its entirety.
Wow.
This is a real page turner. Tension is built expertly and before you know it you have been reading for 4 hours and nearly finished. The short chapters, gripping story, points of view and twists make this book an exciting read from start to finish.
Following the story of Pete and Maddie as they learn there DS is not actually there own, the book takes you on a whirlwind of emotions. Making you question what you would do for your own family if it really came down to it.

4+ stars. Interesting thriller with a heart wrenching premise. Characters were flawed and real. I appreciated that it was not gimmicky with ridiculous twists.
Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved and hated this book at the same time, I think it’s so well written, I made notes throughout reading with my guesses and I got them all wrong!
When I say I hated this book that’s only because I couldn’t read it fast enough and I was being impatient wanting to know what happened!
I have read quite a few of J.P. Delaney’s books now and honestly so far this is the best one, they just keep getting better and better.
I read this in two sittings and even stayed up until 2am one evening to read (this also happened to me with believe mr by J.P. Delaney too but it was so worth it !!
I loved all the different personalities and way the characters really came to life.
One hundred thousand stars for this book

Pete answers his door to a random stranger on an ordinary day. The day will end up being anything but ordinary though. The visitor, Miles Lambert, tells Pete that his son is actually Petes, and Petes son actually belongs to him. Somehow they were switched at birth. While the families try to deal with the trauma of their children being switched at birth, they make a plan to be able to have both children in all of their lives. Except Miles doesn’t seem to want to play nice…
Oh man, I cannot imagine raising a child for two years, only to find out that it isn’t actually your child. And then what do you do? Do you switch them back? Keep them with the parents they have known their entire life? This book really makes you ask all the questions. Miles was certainly a character, and man did I cringe at some of the things he did….well, actually at most of the things he did. My heart broke for Pete and Maddie as the book went on, and I just wanted to scream the entire time that someone was full of crap! I love most of Delaney’s books, but this one is easily one of my favorites!

What a thrilling ride this was!
This was quite the unputdownable book with intriguing characters and a gripping plot.
I kind of expected a bit more from the ending but all in all, I enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it.
I would like to thank the Publishers, NetGalley, and the Author for sending me a copy of this book.
