Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

This was well written with rich characters, there was good chemistry between the characters and the dialog was fantastic, Most of all there really was a plot twist that I didn't see coming. The elements of this novel flowed together so seamlessly. I loved the idea of two authors sharing their work with each other and developing a relationship through their mutual love of writing.

I love romance books about bookish people!!!! I really connected with these characters and I am so glad I read this!

This book was okay, but it was too similar to some other books I have read, most recently Not in My Book. This was just not executed as well as it could have been. I liked the characters, but it just seemed too predictable.

This is an entertaining, fun read. Will and Allie are interesting, relatable, intriguing, complex, wounded, strong, feisty, complicated, entertaining characters. The path to their HEA is not an easy one but fun to read. I enjoyed spending time with these two. I also love the relationship Allie has with another writer Martin. It brought an interesting dynamic to both the plot and Allie, that I enjoyed. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book is about an unlikely friendship between a best selling romance writer who is on a deadline to finish her next book but is in a writing slump as she has giving up happily ever afters when she starts up an unlikely friendship with a crime writer who has not written in years. They partner up to exchage plots to help each other finish their respective manuscripts. Allie meets a new hot waiter named Will at the same publishing event. As they get to know each other and begin to fall in love, things start to get complicated as we learn Will is also known as Liam, Martins son.

Just finished The Plot Twist by Eleanor Goymer, and it was an absolute delight! This book kept me guessing, laughing, and swooning all at once. Goymer has a knack for crafting witty banter and weaving a story that feels so fresh and original. The characters leap off the page, each one bringing their quirks and charm to the table, making it impossible not to root for them.

The unexpected twists kept me hooked, and the romance? Perfection. This isn't just a story about love but also about finding yourself and embracing the unexpected curveballs life throws your way. If you’re looking for a book that’ll make you laugh, cry, and fall in love, The Plot Twist is the one to pick up. Highly recommend! 📚✨

It all starts with a wrong turn, and author Allie finds herself locked out of a big party with Martin, a fellow author who writes mystery. And Will, the handsome waiter that finds them both.

Allie is struggling with her romance book, and Martin is struggling to save his career by writing another mystery - both are stuck and decide to help each other out with ideas. Allie also meets back up with Will and soon things are rolling for her - a new romance and a new lead story for her book. Only the love story is really Martin's life, and Will is part of it.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.

I did not enjoy the writing style of this book, the third person narrative repeatedly over used the names and ir was so tedious to read “Allie” every couple of words. The story was predictable albeit cute. Not my favourite but not entirely offensive once you get over the writing pattern.

I thought this was a cute idea of a book, but I wouldn’t necessarily say it is a romance book as the cover suggests. The romance between the MCs felt rather forced and not really discussed in full detail - the main focus of the story to me was the writing aspect and her relationship with Martin. The twists were predictable but overall a good plot idea.

3.5 Stars, but rounded up to four stars.

I think this book was a very cute and sweet concept overall, and it was a pretty enjoyable read. However, I do think this book had a few ups and downs when it came to holding my attention and the general plot.

Starting off with what I loved. I really enjoyed Allie's relationship with her fellow writer, Martin. Especially since this relationship almost had a father-daughter feel to it, which is a very sweet aspect to see. Additionally, you don't often see a father-daughter relationship in romance books, so I really enjoyed this added aspect to the book. I also enjoyed how the MMC, Will, was a bit more of a complex character. He had some personal issues that you can see get in the way of his relationships, but there is some progress in this book. I liked seeing this portrayed and enjoyed that he wasn't just the normal MMC you see in every other book.

On the flip side, though, I found this book very predictable. Given the book's title, or Twist, you can see some bad irony here. Everything was pretty obvious from the get-go, and nothing really caught me by suprise. Plus after getting to know the character you could already predict what choices she was going to make.

Overall, I think this book had some decent parts, but it also struggled to hook me in.

I really enjoyed the idea of seeing authors swap their writing style up and I think it did a good job contrasting how the characters grew over time throughout the book. The different love stories also drew me in and I liked both. Overall it was a cute book that did a good job contrasting different relationships

It was a good book overall but I felt that need it a little bit of spice.
I loved how the characters were so relatable.
If you are looking for a fun and easy read this is your book!

I was hyped for The Plot Twist because who doesn’t love a good reveal or something you weren't expecting? Well, it's hard not to see everything coming. It had its moments though - especially in the first half when the characters and relationships are being set up. There's also a nice and easy writing style, so it’s a smooth read. I found though that some parts dragged, especially towards the end when things should’ve been ramping up.

It’s not a bad read, and I’d still recommend it if you’re into a light read with a happy ending.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rating ⭐️ : 2.75 /5
No Spice 🚫🌶️

I was expecting and hoping to love this book but it wasn’t for me. The book was pretty predictable.

The fmc wasn’t my favorite character. For being an older character, her decisions were very child like. I found myself yelling at the book, telling her to get it together !

Although it wasn't my favorite book, there were still so many parts I loved. I really appreciated how it explored writer's block and how relationships can influence a writer's work. And Angie and Martin’s love story? Beautiful!!

Just because this book wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean that you won’t enjoy it! Fast pace, easy read! 🤗

I like the relationship between Allie and Martin and thought their relationship was cute but found myself not being as invested in them as I would like. Although the premise was cute and easy going I found myself getting a bit lost and not being invested and found some storyline’s to be incomplete or not as well polished.

I also found the pacing of this novel to be a bit off even though I felt it jumped around a bit and some bits were a bit awkward.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I thought this was a cute idea of a book, but I wouldn’t necessarily categorize it as a romance, as the cover suggests. The romance between the MCs was whirlwind fast and not really discussed in full detail - the main focus of the story to me was the writing aspect and her relationship with Martin. The twists were predictable and we all know I hate the miscommunication trope. But overall a cute quick read with a unique plot line. 3.5/5 stars.

I liked the story , it was different than anything I have ever read . Main characters were relatable

Allie is a bestselling author in a writing slump. She meets another older author Martin who is in the same situation as her. Although they both write different genres (romance and crime), they team up to help get some inspiration and writing done while working on their struggling love lives. This book was a slow start for me, but started to pick up about 30% in. Allie is not my favourite kind of FMC, she seemed very judgy and immature for a 30 something successful writer and I really think she was the base for me not enjoying this book as much as I thought I would. Her love interest Will seemed like a decent guy but the relationship with them always seemed on the back burner, and I feel like I didn’t know him like I knew the other MMC, Martin, by the end of the book. The great part of the book was the friendly relationship between Allie and Martin. I found myself loving their scenes together as they pushed each other and it was so cute to see Martin and his love for his wife, especially that piano scene !!!! Overall, I did enjoy the plot, very cute and unique.

Thank you to Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and the author for this eArc !

I received this book as an ARC reader through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I thought overall the story was cute but also extremely predictable. Our FMC made situations a lot more difficult for herself by not communicating with people and I felt she was extremely immature at times in the way she acted. The plot twist didn’t blow me away as I predicted it more or less when it started being introduced. It was an easy read but personally it wasn’t me!

So this is a disappointment. The story sounds so promising, but the execution is just meh. I couldn’t understand Allie’s behavior—it’s worse than a teenager’s. I can’t believe this is a bestseller author with several successful books. The storyline with “keeping it distant” makes no sense—where did she get her inspiration before? For a book called The Plot Twist, there’s nothing surprising in it, quite predictable. If it wasn’t an ARC, I wouldn’t have finished this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for providing me with an ARC. All opinions are my own.
