Playing Nice by JP Delaney
5.0

This was a family drama/thriller like no other. Pete Riley opens his front door one day to his worst nightmare - Miles Lambert informing him that their two-year-old sons were switched at birth and they’ve been raising each other’s child. Shocked, Pete and his partner Maddie find their lives increasingly intertwining with the charismatic Lamberts’ as they try to interconnect their families and are sucked into a series of investigations and drama trying to figure out what happened. But who can really be trusted and what secrets are people hiding? Can Pete and Maddie protect their family?

Delaney did such an incredible job conveying the building concern, fear, and despair that Pete and Maddie felt as events unfold that I was legitimately stressed on their behalf and almost had to put the book down! This story totally dragged me in - I read it in one sitting because I just had to know how it would turn out. If you like a gripping family drama with alternating perspectives that keeps you in suspense and unease as it builds to the climax then unfolds with a bang, go pick up this book! Thank you to Ballantine & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
