Thank you Netgalley and harper Collins.

I really enjoyed this light hearted rom com. I truly enjoyed the characters and the low stakes. It sucked you in and kept you interested..

Overall, I did really love this book, it was a light hearted rom-com that was easy to read, I read it in a couple of days. It was really easy to get into and I realy loved the main charactes and I felt as though the relationship was playing out like something you would see in a movie. I would say to read this if you love rom-coms with a twist (pun intended)!

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

1⭐ — plot twist, this book wasn't good.

I thought this sounded like a premise for a fun rom com, but unfortunately for me the execution was a bit of a car crash! There were so many random, disconnected plotlines in this book, it's clear that the author didn't know which story they were trying to tell. Not only did this result in all of these storylines being heavily watered down, rushed and shallow, it also meant there was zero room left for developing the main romance, which was meant to be the central plot. I didn't care about any of the characters or their relationships at all. Sadly, no redeeming factors. It needed a MAJOR edit.

This book is such a delightful, heartfelt romcom that had me grinning from start to finish. The chemistry between them is electric, and I loved watching their connection grow. The romance, though slow-burn, has plenty of tension and warmth to keep you hooked. The balance between Allie’s professional growth, her blossoming relationship with Will, and the lighthearted exploration of both authors’ struggles makes for a perfect mix of heart and humor. This story hits all the right notes when it comes to navigating love, career, and the chaos of being a writer. Overall, a definite feel-good, romcom with a side of literary charm.

i really really wanted to like this one 🥲! the premise was different and it sounded so so good but I found the fmc to be so unlikeable, her decisions and immaturity was so jarring.
i also felt that the romance with will fell a bit flat (he was lovely) but we didn't seem them interact enough, which was largely due to the amount of plot points going on at any given time.

overall, not my favourite read but there were some parts of the book I loved - especially the banter and allie's relationship with martin .

2.5⭐️ Thank you Netgallery for this ARC! This was a quick read and It did take me a while to get adjusted to the british grammar. Loves the “plot twist” that happened in the middle of the book and thought it was super creative!! I did not really enjoy the ending and felt there were some gaps in the story that needed to be filled.

Solid 3.5 stars. There was witty banter, I enjoyed the dialogue, and it had a great point of view on multiple generational love stories. The miscommunication trope is one that annoys me, especially when there are supposed to be adults involved. The book could have been cut in half if Allie had simply been honest. She had a good character arc but really, if she had come clean to Martin before Will showed up to meet his "writer friend" I would have come to respect her so much more. Instead she just came off as as a weasel and she somehow wrote two books in the span of what, weeks? Days? Jess was my favorite character by far, I appreciated her blunt point of view. My last bone to pick is, Will just didn't have a character arc. He was standoffish and had Allie at arms length, then showed growth but when they decided to do a round of "we list and we don't judge" he got upset and kicked Allie out for being honest. If Will had gone to Allie after having met Dominic, I would have also seen more character growth on his part. But again, he chooses to ice her out. It's the same routine through out the whole book, so how did his character grow exactly? And we never meet Gigi in person. (Okay, one more bone.) She's a very flat character. I wish that there could be a scene where Gigi found the manuscript on Will's doorstep, and says Will who wrote this, this is fantastic, etc etc and instead she's painted as this nuisance that we never meet. While the writing itself and the flow of the storytelling was easy and had me reading this in a day, there were some distracting character flaws that were hard to ignore.

Ebook copy provided to me by Netgalley & publisher in exchange for a fair review - thank you!

This was a sweet and easy read, perfect palate cleanser for me. After reading something like Yellowface, having a romance book placed in the publishing industry was quite refreshing. However, I was much more interested in the non romance elements - like Allie and Martin's relationship - which was so wholesome! It made Will feel like a side character, which isn't ideal for a romance book, but honestly, it's not a major issue tbh, I loved the focus on friendships here.

Cute, lighthearted story. I liked the characters. I wish the love story was a little more fleshed out but I enjoyed the plot twist between Martin and Will .

This book was so cute, and I loved every bit of it. I am a huge sucker for rom-com books, and Allie and Will’s story was chef’s kiss! Martin was my favorite character in the book, and I couldn’t help put picture Mr. Feenie from the sitcom Boy Meets World as his character look alike. He was so stinking cute, and I just adored his quick wit and humor. I also over Jess because her friendship with Allie really felt real and would be a best friend I would love to have in real life. Also, I love the fact that Jess tracked down Will at the end and made him give her an answer and helped orchestrate Will’s big romantic gesture. Simply put, this was the best rom-com book I have read this year, and only feedback is I wish the spice was written in more in regards to Will and Allie’s initial coupling at his flat.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

The Plot Twist got off to a slow start for me. It wasn't until about 40% in that I became more invested in the characters, though I was able to predict many of the major plot points. I thought the ending was well written and realistic, weighing the emotions of both characters in the situation.

Overall, a very pleasant read!

The plot twist is a book following the mc Allie who is a writer. Allie is struggling with the ability to write another book having developed severe writers block when she meets Martin another writer going through a similar circumstance and decide to help each other out with plot ideas.

I absolutely adored this book, there was a few slow points where I wasn’t sure if I would love the book as much as I do but by the end of the book I had completely fallen in love with the story.

I love the premise of the book, it’s not the first book where I’ve seen two writers working together but this is definitely a very different spin on it, and was a fun and exciting read.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, one more chapter for the arc

I'm at 70% and really struggling to convince myself to finish. I like the general premise and the father figure relationship, but cannot understand why the MC made many of her decisions that seemed counterproductive to both the plot and the relationship.
First time reading this author and hope it's just a personal thing for me and it's enjoyed by others!

While I liked the premise of Eleanor Goymer's The Plot Twist and the characters were very relatable, I struggled to get into the story. Parts seemed repetitive, and some would have benefited from more build-up. I found myself skimming along to see what was going to happen. I did finish hoping for a great ending, but it was just so...so. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

I’m at 50% and I can’t bring myself to finish this.
The premise sounded really good and the story started out good, but the pace is really slow and the overall execution of the story is not what I expected or what I think this book could’ve been.
I’m at 50% and I really don’t know what else is to happen other than unnecessary drama. The “Plot Twist” was so obviously hinted at that and the reveal of it could’ve been done so much better.
I also don’t vibe with the MC Allie at all, her choices regarding work, her love life and telling the truth are just not understandable to me. Also I think she is really immature for someone that is supposed to be in their 30s and the writer of 7 bestsellers…
The only thing that kind of hooked me was Martin Clark and his wife but even that fall flat for me with what happened in the middle of the book and the other side plot regarding Allies publisher just seems so unnecessary to me.
Overall I’m just really disappointed…

This was such a fun time! I love stories like this one and it was a great way to close out the year! Definitely should think about picking up this story!

Thank you for the ARC!

Allie is a prolific romance bestseller but is in a terrible writer’s block and in a relationship that’s going nowhere. She meets Martin, a household crime novelist who is also stuck. They decide to become writer partners and exchange genres. In the meantime, Allie breaks up with her boyfriend and meets a super cute waiter at a book event.

This was a cute read, albeit a little too slow paced sometimes where some chapters were just Allie’s inner thoughts. There’s also the twist that the book is named after that’s pretty easy to figure out and isn’t that of a twist that causes some havoc, but it was resolved with some actual communication.

I’d recommend it!

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were great and relatable and I liked the plot overall! I would definitely recommend!

This book tells a story of an author who lost her believe in happy ending and her journey through writers block. To be honest I did not enjoy this book I found the character development to be shallow and was unable to connect with them. Furthermore I felt no excitement for the story and felt no happy thrill that romance novels often give me.

Super cute, easy romcom with nothing crazy going on. I really enjoyed the two authors getting together aspect.
