Playing Nice
by JP Delaney
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I rate books very highly but this has been the first book to have me actually mutter "what the..." as it hits its peak. What an incredible book this was.
It follows Maddie and Pete and their son Theo as they navigate through modern parenting with a two-year-old. Pete is the primary parent which already had me relating to it so much as I have taken on the role of Working Mum with my husband taking on life as a stay at home dad in my own life, as well as experiencing a traumatic birth and experiencing a mental health breakdown in the weeks and months following my daughters birth. To say I related to Maddie is an understatement. It was like I was reading my biography. I found this fairly tricky to read in the beginning as it was so similar to my real-life experience and it triggered a lot of emotions in me.
To say I am glad I stuck with the book is also an understatement. It is a parent's worst nightmare to think two babies are switched at birth and then to have said other parent knocks on your door and tell you this. It is earth-shattering.
My heart was beating out of my chest and my stomach in knots by the end. I am so so happy with the ending and I won't reveal it. This is a MUST READ for 2020. Well any year. If anyone stumbles across this book, read it.
Thanks Netgalley for giving me an ARC of this and thank you for JP Delaney for another fantastic thriller.
