this was a cute book! I really enjoyed my time and I liked the characters. the writing was ok but it was still fun

What I liked
- Siobhan, I would have preferred the whole book in her POV and her ending up with Alex. He matched her energy so much more.

What I disliked
- Marcel, everything about him pissed me off to my core. He’s an asshole that thinks he’s god walking this earth because he has written a few books. He’s just a wounded guy who didn’t want to deal with his mommy and daddy issues.
- Even though the chapter were labeled for POV sometimes it didn’t feel totally clear who’s POV it was because of the third person
- Siobhan’s friends seem like character stereotypes of what feminist are in real life
- I don’t understand why Marcel felt the need to keep his identity a secret to hide from his mother. She left when he was eight and he didn’t even change his first name. Marcel is pretty unique in my book.
- The only reason Siobhan learned anything about Marcel was because of his sister blabbing her mouth. Then he opened up because he really had no choice.
- The descriptions really dragged on for me. There was a lot of info dumping too. I didn’t need the whole New Orleans/Hurriance Katrina run down from Charmaine it was a lot.
- The ending was very dramatic and then wrapped into almost a perfect bow.
- We didn’t get to see Marcel interact with his dad. I think that would have been interesting considering he’s the reason Marcel doesn’t come back to New Orleans, we just heard about it which was lame.
- There was A LOT of listing things out, number one, number two. It was fine the first two times but after the fifth or sixth I was starting to see a pattern
- I wish we got to figure out way Buckley just decided to up and leave.

1 out of 5 stars, I really struggled to get through this book. Marcel was insufferable.

This book was very good. I love reading books about books. The romance was so cute and the banter was perfect.

Plot Twist by Carmen Sereno is centred around Marcel Black, a well-known crime author, and Siobhan Harris, a fresh debut contemporary romance. Following a Twitter feud, they are tasked with writing a fusion crime and romance novel together. It follows their journey while co-authoring this novel and shows how their relationship changes from "enemies" to something more.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and it was a refreshing change of pace from the typical instant love that has been dominating the contemporary romance genre lately. The tension and build-up to the relationship between Siobhan and Marcel, especially their first kiss had me screaming. I liked that there was a focus on their emotional relationships and other non-physical aspects rather than an overabundance of sex scenes. This is an open-door book though it is not something to be expected throughout the book. I have been in a bit of a reading slump so I found the beginning to be a bit slow, but once Marcel and Siobhan's Twitter feud began, I just couldn't put the book down. This book is perfect for those who like slow-burn and the "enemies" to friends to lovers trope.

However, there were many acronyms used throughout the book that I didn't recognize. This may be due to my general lack of knowledge of book acronyms, but it made the reading experience a bit choppy as I had to look up the acronyms on my Kindle and couldn't always find them.

Other than that, it was an absolutely wonderful read, and if I could sum up their relationship in two emojis it would be this: 💗🖤. If you're looking for a rom-com with HEA, this is the one.

Thank you to Amazon Crossing and Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
