I found the majority of this book to be predictable with not a lot happening.
It was unrealistic in the way it suggested that the systems work and how professionals treat parents.
I suppose I didn't particularly like any of the characters.
Something gripped me though: the idea of the storyline obviously appealed to begin with and I wanted to know how things ended but it was also an easy read with short snappy chapters that were easy to pick up and read when I had 5 minutes to spare.

QUICK TAKE: I absolutely loved this twisted thriller about two couples who accidentally switched babies at birth. Super dark and captivating and hard not to put yourself in the characters' shoes as to what you would do in a similar situation. the ending is a little quiet, but overall I really enjoyed this one...probably my favorite of JP Delaney's.

Su JP Delaney psichologiniu trileriu „Playing Nice” kartojosi panaši istorija, kaip ir su paskutinėmis skaitytomis knygomis – pradedu, kankinuosi, verčiuosi, atrodo, kad jau reikia mesti, o tada prasideda visas įdomumas ir istorija nebepaleidžia.

Įsivaizduokit, kad auginate savo pirmagimį ir vieną dieną į jūsų duris pasibeldžia žinia – tai ne jūsų biologinis sūnus. Negalit įsivaizduoti, suprantu. Viskas pasikeičia ir aplinkui pasėjama daug abejonių, įtarimų ir į paviršių iškyla ilgai slėptos praeities paslaptys.

„Playing Nice” yra tas ramus psichologinis trileris, kuris, prieš prasidedant tikrai jausmų karuselei, iki smulkmenų nupasakoja pagrindinių veikėjų gyvenimus, pasirinkimus ir klaidas. Nu kad tikrai abejonių nebekiltų kas, kur, kaip ir kodėl. Ar to reikia? Tikriausiai, ne. Kai kurie knygą, net nespėję įpusėti visos „preliudijos”, tikiu, neištvėrę užvers.

Antroje knygos dalyje jau galima pasismaginti, bet nuosekli ir išsami priešistorė skaitytojo mintyse jau bus sudėliojusi visus taškus ant „i” ir išsprendusi galvosūkį. Ar labai visą reikalą tai pagadina? Pagadina, bet nesugadina visiškai.
