This book is very hard to rate for me. When the book started, I was hooked! The topic was so original and I felt so much for the parents, what would I do when I learned my 2 year old was not my kid?! 
Sadly, the book went way too far for my liking. The first 60% I was obsessed with this book, I stayed up way past my bedtime to read, I thought about it a lot when I was not reading it, great. After that point my obsession started to get less and it was just a entertaining read. 
It's not to say that the book got bad in any way, it just didn't went the route I was expecting/wanting it to go, which was dissappointing.
However this was still one hell of a great thriller and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a fast thriller.

Oh this book was so 👏🏼 good 👏🏼. I read this in just a couple of sittings and could not put it down. The plot grabbed my attention instantly: I LOVE a storyline that makes you question what you’d do in that situation and keeps you on your toes and engaged throughout. 

I’m not yet a parent, but the horror and anxiety of the situation was palpable, and a credit to Delaney’s writing that I could feel emotionally attached to a situation so strongly. 

SUPER short, snappy chapters made 400+ pages a breeze to fly through and the flawed characters and intriguing, unpredictable storyline combined to make this a super fun domestic thriller with a killer twist. I really couldn’t predict where this was heading or how it would conclude, but the ending was so cleverly done. I’d highly recommend reading this! 🙌🏽
