Engaging & fast paced with some interesting philosophical/ethical questions mixed in. The end kind of confused me— why did the wife switching them keep him from causing damage? Bc instead he just hurt another child? I didn’t get it.
Brydde meg ikke om noen av karakterene, eller noe som skjedde. Kjedelig
Brilliant! Great story, kept you guessing right up to the end. Highly recommended.
This book was just okay for me. I thought Pete and Maddie were not a likeable couple and I didn't think the end was much of a twist.
DNF @ 30%
this was so slow and honestly i was waiting for something to happen and it doesn’t.
highly anticipated book so i’m really sad :(

Playing Nice isn't my first read by JP Delaney, and I'll be honest, this author's books are a bit of a hit or miss for me. Nevertheless, the premise here sparked my interest, so I decided to try again. This isn't the first time I've seen the switched at birth storyline, and at the risk of dating myself, I'll admit that I remember the movie from the early 90s about that very thing. This one takes things a bit further and gets darker. The story does get twisted and Delaney surely knows his stuff when it comes to building tension and suspense. I'll skip the details so as not to give spoilers, but I will say that some of my favorite psychological thrillers mess with the reader's mind and keep them on their toes, and Playing Nice ranks right up there on both counts.

The plot twist was definitely there and I loved it. It just took me a second to get pass the first few chapters and give the story time to evolve.
