I love a good switched at birth story! In this one, the families are trying to work it out amicably, but something is not quite right. JP Delaney weaves a web of twists and turns that will keep you turning the page in suspense! A thought-provoking and gripping psychological thriller at its finest!

This book was sometimes challenging for me to read because I found it so tense and uncomfortable. Overall I thought it was good, but compared to the pace of the rest of the book, the ending felt rushed. It seems like the topics the writer wrote about were well researched.

Loved it! The psychopath character was freaky, and the end was not predictable.
This book was a great page-turner. The concept in this book is a topic for a lengthy discussion, and I was anxious from the beginning to the end. I think it's been a while since I have felt on edge while reading a book. I felt these characters were real and was feeling desperate for them. Also, that ending! I didn't see that coming, and it ended so well.

I absolutely loved this novel and could not put it down! I am a huge mystery\thriller reader and Delaney's work might be the best I have read all year. I was intrigued that these two boys were switched at birth without their parents knowing and two years later Miles realizes that his "son" is not really his son and he goes to Pete and Maddie with the news. Pete is shocked because their son is his entire world as he is a stay at home dad. The two couples decide that they will keep each other in their lives until Miles takes things a little too far. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat and I will be recommending it to everyone as soon as it is out.
I really enjoyed this book. Very endearing characters, you get attached and are invested in their lives from the first pages. Very well written. I have several JP Delaney books in my library , this is the first I’ve read and I’m looking forward to the others.
