cpellegrino 's review for:
Playing Nice
by JP Delaney
Two years after very long and extensive neonatal ICU stays due to severe prematurity, it is discovered that Theo and David were switched at the hospital. Strong willed Theo is being raised by Pete and Maddie. Pete is a reporter/writer turned stay at home dad, and is focused on parenting Theo in the best possible way. Miles and Lucy are parenting David, who has long lasting special needs due to the damage he suffered at birth due to the prematurity. Upon confirmation that the boys were switched, the four parents try to peacefully be involved in both boys' lives, but soon enough Miles and Lucy begin the process to take both of the boys, while getting Pete and Maddie to be declared as unfit parents.
While there are a few twists and turns in this book, it simply didn't connect with me. I found all of the characters to be unlikeable, and the investigation into the baby switching and parenting to be completely unrealistic. All of this made me simply not care who switched the babies, or who ended up with them. It was work to finish the book, so I'm leaving it at two stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my review.
