I think I mostly did this a disservice as I just finished a really good romance that kind of set this up for failure otherwise I think this would've been okay! like most of the reviews I think this is a really easy plot to catch on to pretty quickly but I did like the addition of the side-romance and rekindling; it's a really lovely reminder that love is not just copy and paste HOWEVER that sentiment is a little undermined by the total predictability of the main romance in the book which follows a pretty standard format. Not that any of these things are bad, it just isn't the best one I've read and I think because of that I didn't like it as much as I could've

I really loved the premise of this book. I think the plot was great and had so much promise, but for me it wasn't executed as well as it could have been.
I really enjoyed the mentor relationship between Allie and Martin, However, I think too much time was spent on this relationship and it left the relationship between Allie and Will lacking. There was very little time spent on Allie and Will's relationship. There were a few scenes between the two of them, but they were pretty short, and lacked any real chemistry between the two.
I also struggled a bit to connect with Allie herself. I found some of her decisions a bit baffling and I feel she read a lot younger than she was supposed to be.
This definitely wasn't a bad book by any means, but it just didn't really work for me personally.

Thank you to netgalley for my ARC.

The Plot Twist follows bestselling author Allie, who finds herself in the midst of a writing slump. As she struggles to reignite her creative spark, she embarks on a journey of rediscovery—both in her writing and in other aspects of her life.

The premise immediately drew me in, but unfortunately, the execution fell flat. The romance, in particular, felt lackluster, and as much as I wanted to be invested, I just couldn’t connect with it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

generally pretty good! i loved Angie, Tessa, and Verity, they were very cool characters. Allie and Martin were fine if a bit static, but i found Will underdeveloped. 3.5 stars, rounded up. tysm for the arc.

The Plot Twist by Eleanor Goymer is truly a cozy meet cute with all the things you could want in a fun romance story. Like most romance novels, we have two lovable characters who run into some misunderstandings, but ultimately get their happy ending and I’m here for it! This book is wonderfully written, and still managed to feel new and fun to read cuddled up in a blanket. I would consider this a perfect “pick me up” book!

This book had a lot of heart and some very sweet moments, but ultimately suffered from a lack of chemistry between the main characters. I love a romance about writers, so that was a fun premise. Unfortunately, the main characters came off as fairly immature. There was some fun banter but I didn’t really feel like we got to see them connect on a deeply satisfying level because of the convoluted plot. I hope to read this author’s next book because there was definitely some potential here!

This could have been sooo good and it had promising moments but it felt a little flat and predictable at times, The pacing felt off, sometimes it was fast pace and others it was so slow.

The Plot Twist is a very interesting novel about a romance author struggling with writer's block. She befriends an older thriller author, and the two become writing partners. Sprinkled in is a cute romance between the romance author and a waiter she met at an event.

While I really enjoyed the premise, I struggled to get through it because of pacing issues. Additionally, this book is not as much as a romance as one would expect. I would still recommend it, but please be advised this is more of a contemporary fiction than a romance.

Thank you to the publisher for the e-copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I thought this book was a fun concept that really caught my attention, was enjoyable and super easy (in a good way) to read!
While it was a little predictable I think it made for a lovely casual read that was perfect for when you need a break from all the heavy books, the type of book that I personally feel helps you get out of your reading slumps!
It’s giving the cringey romcom you put on to make yourself feel better .. in all the right ways

This was sadly fairly mediocre. I could see the namesake plot twist coming about a 1/4 of the way through the book and it just never improved.

This may be a personal issue, but I’m also not a fan of insta-love. There was no build up or chemistry in the relationship, it was kind of just instant sparks. We don’t see enough of Will to actually understand what Allie likes about him.

Overall, the book was a lot telling and not a lot of showing. The plot somehow felt both rushed and painfully slow. I haven’t read any of the author’s other works, but this certainly wasn’t my cup of tea.

I was really excited for this one, but it seemed to fall a bit flat for me. I still liked this book, but it's not everything I hoped this book would be. The writing felt a bit stiff, and the plot is one I've seen before (regarding the different genre authors switching their books). I think that there was a lot of potential, but I had a hard time connecting to the characters in this one.

This was honestly just disappointing. It felt like it was trying to hard to be something its not. I didnt like the main character. It felt like she would not listen to anyone’s advice.

The Plot Twist is a cute romance where we see Allie find herself as well as a family to boot.
I thought the plot twist of this story was pretty good but I fear I figured it out too quickly. The chapters are a bit long which made the book drag on for me. I would have loved if everyone could communicate a little better. I hate a third act break up… not to mention multiple conflicts. 2.5/5
Thank you to Net Galley & HarperCollins UK for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun read! I had a hard time relating to Allie (at times she frustrated me to an insane level lol) BUT I loved Martin, Will, Jess, and Angie so much that I found myself forgiving Allie for her quirks and rooting for her throughout the entire book.

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for this eARC!

Th Plot Twist was my first Eleanor Goymer romance story, and I'm happy to say that I am now a fan! I loved the premise, the characters and the snappy dialogue. The "meet cute" between Will and Allie was adorable, and who wouldn't want to spend time with Martin? The Plot Twist is the perfect romance for adult readers of all ages!

I’ve read just about 10% of the book so I if you’re considering reading it, don’t stop on my account. But I will not be finishing the book, at least not right now. I normally like the third-person narrative, but this felt like it was written in the first-person then changed all the “I”s for “she”s after, the writing was feeling unnatural and just didn’t flow for me. The dialogue felt stiff, and maybe it was me and not the book, but I just don’t feel any pull to continue this story.
Would normally give a 1 for DNF but I don’t feel like it’s fair for an ARC since I didn’t finish the book, so it’s a 3 here

The Plot Twist is full of a cast of relatable characters, going through life trying to figure out not only how to love but if happily-ever-Afters are even true. Allie’s character is strong-willed but anxious, and a great storyteller but has trouble figuring out her own story.
I did find parts of this book quite predictable, but overall it was an enjoyable read

This wasn't for me - I found it very slow-paced and predictable, so I gave up half-way through. I wanted to like it because it seemed like a great concept, but the FMC's angst kinda overpowered everything I would've liked more humour and romance!

Super cheesy and predictable plot. Fmc was annoying and not the brightest. This book just wasn’t for me.

I wasn't able to finish this one. I couldn't get into the story. I got 20% of the way in and nothing had happened and I just couldn't continue when I have other things I would prefer to read.
