Playing Nice by JP Delaney
4.0

JP Delaney is such an amazing writer, this book is like nothing I have ever read before. I read this book in one day, I just couldn't get enough.

"What if you found out that your family isn't yours at all? How far would you go to protect them?"

Peter and Maggie have a 2 year old called Theo. After full time dad, Pete, comes back from dropping Theo off at nursery theres a knock at the door. The man, Miles, is standing at the door and looks exactly like his 2 year old, accompanied by a private investigator. They explain, with a DNA test that Theo isn't actually their son. Miles explains that there has been a mix up wile the two children were being transferred to the NICU. This means that Peter and Maggie's biological son, David is living with Miles and Lucy Lambert.

This runs smoothly at first and it looks like the families will come to a mutual agreement regarding the children, choosing not to swap them but have an active role in both of their lives. Unfortunately after some boundary issues from Miles it's clear that things are going to be complicated.

This type of storyline is not one i would normally pick up, but after reading another by the same author that I couldn't put down, I was intrigued. I just couldn't put the book down, I wanted to know how everything would unravel and the fate of the children. Such a perfect blend of posological thriller and family drama.

Thank you to #Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
