3.5/5 stars. This was cute. A little cheesy at times but still cute. I liked Dash’s story. I liked the relationship between Dash and Sophie.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this title.

I enjoyed portions of this title, and I did not enjoy portions of this title.

The MMC was great. I thoroughly enjoyed his story and growth as the story continued. I was so happy that he was not suddenly "cured" of his addiction, and we got to see the struggle that addicts do have to live with every day. I also enjoyed the family aspect of his story, and how business and family needed to be dissected and separated. Overall it was compelling and truthful to the experiences the people around me have had with similar situations, and I was happy to see it written with such care.

The FMC was lacking in comparison. Her growth journey did not meet the same impact and I honestly ended up not caring about her whatsoever. She was too simple in comparison to the complexity of his story, and she had the base bones to be a compelling character in her own right. The execution was just lacking in my opinion.

Plot Twist by Erin La Rose was an entertaining, twisty read that kept me hooked. The unexpected turns in the plot had me on edge, and I loved the blend of humor and suspense. While some moments felt a little predictable, it was still a fun, engaging story overall.

This is a book; why are there so many TikTok references???? From the beginning, you could tell that this was written based on tropes rather than characters. #NotAFan #SkipThisBook

Also, is the plot twist supposed to be in the room with us?

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! Sorry for the delay in reviewing.

This had a fun premise- a romance author revisiting exes for 'research' while falling for her reclusive landlord- its a great setup! Sophie and Dash had solid banter, and I enjoyed the humor. But the plot felt a bit too ridiculous at times, the pacing dragged, and some emotional beats fell flat. The friends-with-benefits angle didn’t add much, and I wanted more depth from side characters.

Overall, a decent, light romcom with some fun moments but not a standout. 3 stars.

I wasn't in the right headspace when I received an ARC but I am extremely grateful. I've read the book since, and others by Erin La Rosa, it was cute.. 4⭐

I definitely read this when it came out and forgot to review on here...this was a fun read! I really like this author and this is my favorite by her. It was a little too written-to-trope though and I found the alcoholism/sobriety representation to be pretty irresponsible.

This book took me on a bit of a rollercoaster. It was sweet, a little spicy, full of heart, and just a good vibe. It's about a romance writer who has never been in love and a retired actor with an alcohol addiction. They are both struggling and the way they lean on each other for comfort and support is beautiful. Now there are some things I didn't love about the book. I hate miscommunication more than anything and there was a lot of it in this book. It wasn't to the point where I couldn't enjoy it but man it frustrated me at times. All in all I really enjoyed this book and it's a fun and sweet read.

This has opposites attract, forced proximity, friends to lovers, sworn off relationship, and sister's best friend / best friend's brother! This was a quick read!

Listen I really tried to like this book, but it was so hard. I felt like it needed to be re-edited because none of it makes sense and I had not a great time.

3 stars, this book was good read and listened to it as an audiobook. I think the plot of going to talk to your exes was interesting and the fact that Sophie has a pacemaker is definitely a new thing that I haven't seen represented in books yet which is awesome! Plot Twist is a sweet yet spicy book although I don't love a ton of books that reference pop culture and the fact that this was a lot to do with the plot was a little rough. I still think this was a lovely story about overcoming/facing your past.

Romance author Sophie Lyon’s biggest secret is out—despite writing swoon-worthy love stories, she’s never actually been in love. Struggling with writer’s block and an upcoming deadline, she hatches a plan to reconnect with her exes (including the one who got away) to figure out why. Meanwhile, her reclusive landlord, former teen heartthrob Dash Montrose, offers to help her navigate the online chaos—without revealing his own struggles with sobriety and anonymity. As sparks fly, Sophie suggests a casual arrangement, but their growing connection proves that love doesn’t always follow the script.

Plot Twist has a fun premise, and the chemistry between Sophie and Dash is solid, but parts of the story felt underdeveloped. The emphasis on social media trends (especially TikTok) made it feel a little cringy/awkward. The romance had cute moments, but the emotional depth sometimes got lost in the banter. While the book is enjoyable for a light read, it doesn’t quite deliver the punch of a truly memorable rom-com.

While this wasn't my favorite book by Erin La Rosa, it defiantly still really enjoyed it. I liked how it has unique representation (FMC has a pacemaker) and I liked how Sophie was taking back control of her life. But sadly I feel as though this book is one of those forget as soon as you finish reads. It was on the lighter side with a sprinkle of family drama and revisiting the exes. Also I love me a flawed MMC and Dash was that, but he was trying to get back on track and I loved that for him. Overall a pleasant easy read.

With a name like Plot Twist, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this one. We follow Sophie, who’s a romance author that’s about to miss her deadline for book 2, but she has a total writer’s block. She can’t finish the book when she doesn’t believe in love - or that she’s never been in love.

After going viral on TikTok admitting she’s never been in love and having a drunk rant, she gets an idea to revisit all of her exes to see why it never worked out, get some closure, and she documents it all on TikTok to amp up her platform.

Enter her best friend’s brother, Dash, who also is her landlord. He encourages her and is supportive. But what drove me crazy is the fact that they have 2 reasons to know each other (the best friend’s brother part, and her landlord) how had they never really spoken before? And then in the span of 1 week and maybe 3 on-page conversations, he starts to get feelings for her? I don’t know if it’s considered insta-love, but I struggled with that.

Dash also happens to be a teenage heartthrob actor, who basically retired after struggling with an alcohol addiction. Wanting to stay out of the light to protect himself, his mother continues to try and get him into the spotlight again and back into film like his older brother. Instead, Dash turns to pottery and different crafts to keep sane.

Also, we aren’t told until like 40% in that she has a pacemaker. The timing and flow of this one was just off for me.

What a fun read! Sophie, a romance author who goes viral after drunkenly admitting she's never been in love, decides to revisit her exes to understand love better. Her relationship with Dash, a recovering alcoholic, was both hilarious and heartwarming.
The book brilliantly balances humor with genuine emotional depth. Sophie's viral TikTok moment and her journey with Dash were particularly entertaining. I loved how the story tackled serious topics like personal growth and recovery while keeping things light and engaging.
A delightful romance that was impossible to put down!

This was a sweet romance involving romance writer Sophie who has never been in love and former teen heartthrob Dash. I appreciated the imperfect characters and thought the premise was cute. I would read the other book in the series.

Unfortunately I did not finish this title. When I started I realized it was about some subject matter I wasn't comfortable reading at this time. This feels like more of a me problem then the book perhaps. I just don't think this was the book for me right now. Thank you for the opportunity to try it.

Recommend this one for all romance lovers. The characters were interesting and well written, the story was engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it.

This book has been on my Netgalley for a bit and I haven’t picked it up. I haven’t been into romance in a minute, so I’m not the right person to review it anymore.

I love a good enemies to lovers story and this one delivers with all the delicious tension and chemistry.
