7.19.2020 - Playing Nice

Playing Nice by J.P. Delaney

Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books and JP Delaney for the opportunity to read his latest gripping novel - this is a must-read author for me and another 5 star read!

Pete is the stay home dad to two-year old Theo and is shocked when he answers the door at his house one day to Miles, who says that he has proof that he is actually Theo's father and their children were switched at birth.  At first, Pete and Maddie try to play nice with Miles and Lucy and hope to work out an arrangement that will work out for both families.  But things don't quite end up so nicely.

I don't want to give anything away because this book is gripping.  You've read about these kinds of incidents happening but this book really puts you in the mindset to have to make Solomon type decisions about your children.  Then there is the nature vs nurture discussion as well as family differences in parenting styles and incomes.   JP Delaney is a master at these ethical quandaries - I couldn't put this book down!
