Imagine waking up and going about your day as normal. You have your breakfast and drop your kid(s) to nursery or school. Then you come home and there’s a knock on the door.

You’re confronted with the evidence that the child you’ve raised for the last 2 years, isn’t actually yours.
What do you do with that information? This is a child you love, YOUR child. Does the biology matter?

Well that’s exactly what happened to Pete Riley and his partner Maddie, when a man called Miles comes to the door and says that the child they’ve raised is actually his biological son, while he’s been raising their biological son. The two were swapped at birth.

Things begin amicably between the two sets of parents, almost in a way that is too good to be true. They love the son they’ve raised but are also drawn to the son that’s genetically theirs. The story develops as they muddle their way through what is the best course of action for their sons, leading to disagreement and conflict between the parents.

Delaney entices the reader from the beginning with a fast paced, easy read from the POV of Pete and Maddie. Covering their complex range of emotions for each other and the situation they’ve found themselves in, as they try to figure out how it all could possibly have happened.

A thoroughly enjoyable book which I read in a single sitting.
