Playing Nice
by JP Delaney
What would you do if all of a sudden the only family you've ever known is called into question? For Pete and Maddy, they face the nightmarish drama of discovering that their two-year-old son may have been switched at birth, and that they have been raising someone else's biological father. They also must accept that their biological child has been in the arms of another family for the past few years.
Of all JP Delaney's thrillers, this one read more as a drama than a thriller. While waiting for a twist that would have followed the trend of Delaney's, this novel read much more as a heart-wrenching court drama than a thriller with a secret twist. Like all thrillers, the twist is present (and expected), but it left me wanting more.
Where I was entertained, there was just too much that seemed a bit unrealistic. Maybe it's because England's healthcare system and laws are not something I am familiar with, or because I just could not fathom the situations that arose from the discovery.
As a mother, I felt like my heart was being wrenched from my chest thinking about this, so I definitely recommend for the sheer purpose of experiencing something absolutely mind-boggling. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ability to read and review this book.
