I had this book sitting in my kindle for a while. I am not sure why I never reached for it and I am kicking myself for not reading this sooner.
This was a page turner.
I could not put it down until I learned how it was going to end.
Pete and Maddie's life is turned upside down when they learn the news their child was switched at birth with another. The other family has come forward and at first to Pete and Maddie it appears they want to work together in the best interest of the children. But really, narcissist Miles is setting them up. Right away, I disliked Miles...a lot.
The story gets more tense when Pete and Maddie are under fire for every little thing in their life which Miles has worked with his team to blow way out of proportion.
I was stressed out wondering how they were going to get out of this predicament and what was going to happen with both the boys - Theo and David.
I could not ever really say who it was that switched the babies in the NCIU and when the truth finally comes out, I am left thinking "wow"
Such a well written book, captivating and never a dull moment.
My first five star book of 2021!

Pete Riley answers the door one morning to a parents worst nightmare. Miles Lambert gives the devestating news that their sons were swapped at birth. Their lives are thrown upside down as they try to navigate a plan to share their children's lives but as disturbing information comes to light everything starts to fall apart.
I struggled to get into the story at the beginning. None of the characters are particularly likeable and it takes a while to get going. I actually abandoned it for a few weeks and then gave it a second go. Once I got back into it I was hooked on the mystery and the psychological suspense of what would happen next. This was originally going to be a 3 star review but the ending was perfect! My heart was racing as I willed Pete and Maddie to find a solution and I was not disappointed!
