Imagine answering the door one day and a man telling you your child is not yours. That's what happened to Pete and Maddie when Miles Lambert showed up on their doorstep to inform them that their son and his son were switched at birth 2 years ago. Of course both couples are in shock and want to do whats best for the boys. They meet and it's pretty obvious even before the DNA proves it, they each have the wrong son but these are the sons they have loved and raised for 2 years. Pete and Maddie's boy Theo is a big boy with high energy and who tends to be a bit of a bully at times whereas the Lambert boy is sickly and needs lots of care. The Lamberts are wealthy and have been able to provide the best healthcare for David while Pete has become a stay at home dad to tend to rambunctious Theo. The parents decide to work together and spend time with both children to provide the healthiest outcome. Because we all want what's best for the children.... don't we?
What seems like a reasonable amicable arrangement is soon to go south when someone quits PLAYING NICE.
Great domestic suspense

It wasn't for me. It was a good read and my indifference is completely subjective.

Well paced. Intriguing plot. Kept me guessing till the end. I hoped for cooler ending, but not bad.
