I’d like to thank NetGalley, Headline and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!


I made it about 20% in and I have to say I could not continue it.. I’m not a fan of the all over the place dialogue in my opinion.. also Becca is insufferable. She’s extremely selfish and I didn’t even get half way in.. everything seems to lack depth.. the writing just isn’t for me I guess? I’m not really connecting with any characters..

Still extremely grateful to have received an ARC!

I always love an Irish rom-com, and this did not disappoint. Plot Twist had all my favorite elements: friends to lovers, small town setting, flashbacks, grand gestures, family, cancer scare, everything wrapped up in a pretty bow at the end. Loved it all! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

This book was really fun to read! It started off with Becca who initially faces tragedy in her life, following that she drunkenly packs her bags and heads to Ireland to stay with another writer friend, in this time her life begins to turn upside down. She faces grief and betrayal yet comes out on top. This book does not focus heavily on romance but I loved this story because the friendships built and the plot twists of her life made this a really interesting read!
I do feel as though some parts could have gone into depth more as it was only reading on the surface and some parts felt rushed.
Thank you Headline Books and Netgalley for this Arc.

This was a mixed bag for me. I liked the author’s writing style and think the story was easy to get into. Also liked supporting characters like Bridget, Ellie and Ivy (she was adorable). I enjoyed the friendship between Becca and Riley and that they challenged each other in their little writers retreat but the romance fell a bit flat for me. I felt like there was no real tension between them and the way certain things played out near the end just felt like unnecessary drama. As for the Drew of it all, I was torn between being mad on Becca’s behalf and wondering why I was mad since that whole relationship felt underdeveloped despite the flashbacks. I think the story would have benefitted from a lot more of §Rae and to emphasise why that friendship was so important to Becca. As it was I did not think we got to emotionally connect with Rae enough to explain Becca’s sense of loss and betrayal. Others might enjoy the book more so still think it’s worth a read. 2.5 ⭐️

Thanks to NetGalley, I received the ARC for this debut novel. Here is my honest review:

I rate it a solid 3.5 stars. The beginning of the book was a bit shaky for me, but I really started to enjoy it as it went along. However, I feel like there could have been more development in the romance between Riley and Becca. I also wish it had been a dual point of view so we could have experienced Riley’s version of events. Some of the “plot twists” in the book were kind of thrown in and not elaborated on enough.

Overall, I thought Plot Twist was a really cute romcom. My favorite book is a sports romance set in Ireland, so I was excited to read another book that took place in the same type of setting. The descriptions of the locations made me feel like I was there. The writing flowed smoothly and it was a very easy, quick read.

This was so cute! Similar writing style to Emily Henry with its witty banter, gritty backstories and hopeful narratives. I loved the literary theme and the setting throughout.

The beginning was slightly slow but I loved the ending.

Could have done with a bit more depth at times, but overall an entertaining, heartfelt story of love and loss!

A sweet romance with a few twists and turns! Overall I found it hard to stay “in” the book and often had to double check which character we were referencing with Riley and Rae, but I liked it. Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

A surprising read! I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did, and had anticipated it being the standard romance book with predictable tropes, storylines and endings. However, I was so drawn in by the main characters and found myself desperately reading 'just one more chapter' to find out what would happen! every time I thought I knew where things were going there was a suprise bit of information that kept me wanting more. I really enjoyed how the themes of grief, friendship and betrayal were explored and represented as well as forgiveness. As a teacher myself, I especially enjoyed that Becca was a teacher and loved learning about her reasons for going into teaching and her passion for it, I haven't read many books about teachers so it was really nice feeling like I could relate to these parts. I particularly liked that the main character was so self reflective and considerate of her actions as often I find with romances this isn't the case! I would've loved a bit more information towards the end about Becca and Riley's life together rather than going straight to the proposal in the epilogue if I'm being really picky, but all in all a totally fabulous book which I would highly recommend to even the most cynical of romance readers!

Insane!

What a phenomenal ARC read this one was.

I genuinely messaged my friends around Chapter 3 and told them this was going to be one of my favourite reads of 2024!

Plot Twist was such a unique read, the themes of grief, betrayal, forgiveness and love were so well written I couldn’t put it down.

Mark March 28 on your calendars because you NEED to get your hands on a copy when it is released.

Becca must find a way to navigate a new world without her best friend, as new revelations find their way to the surface, she seeks an escape.

She takes off to stay with an author friend of hers she met online in hopes of spending some time away from all the heartbreak in her life. But some names really are ambiguous.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bree’s Kennan, and Headline for the early access copy of Plot Twist.

Plot Twist is not your traditional romance novel. The story follows our protagonist Becca through her journey of grief of the loss of her best friend Rae, her escape to a beautiful Irish town to see her literary friend (whom she’s only talked to electronically), and the experience of a slow burn friends-to-lover story.

Plot Twist felt less of a love story and more of a story of Becca finding herself again after losing herself to her grief. healing, and forgiveness on many levels.

Small gripe, nearing the end of the book there is a health related concern that results in the love interest backing away. This was difficult to overcome as a reader.

This is a great read for anyone who is looking for a story about self-discovery, grief, friendship, and finding yourself after loss.

4 stars!

I absolutely love reading books about authors! Its pretty niche and fun!

I really enjoyed the plot (hehe) and the flashback chapters too. The chapters were a bit long which I don't normally like, I usually prefer shorter chapters but so much was happening in this book it didn't feel too bad!

This definitely gave me "book lovers" vibes but the romance was sweet, the story was great and there wasn't horrible miscommunication and a 3rd act break up!

Would definitely recommend to all my romance reading girlies!

Full Instagram review coming soon!

Working through grief can be hard. Taking a trip to another country thinking you’re gonna meet a fellow female author only to find out it’s a man can be even harder.

This story was sweet and not too difficult to get through. The pacing was okay and I found the characters overall enjoyable. I was rooting for them the whole time.

Thank you NetGalley and Headline for the ARC.

This book, honestly had me giddy, I went into this completely blind, had no idea what was going to happen and I’m so glad I did because that was twist after twist after twist. So much happened and I absolutely loved it!

I loved both the main characters they were so cute and I could feel the chemistry from the second they met! The other characters in the story were perfect and I would love to read a book about Bridget and Ellie!!

Overall a perfect romance book that I could not put down!

I was unable to finish this book and thus will not be posting a full review. I found the narrator unrelatable and was not enjoying reading the book. Thank you for the opportunity.

Cheesy romance that was predictable, sweet and cute. I enjoyed this one and loved the characters and was rooting for them.

Arc review - I received a copy on netgalley on return for an honest review ♥️ thank you!

For a debut novel this was great. The rom con vibes were so good! Obsessed with the Glasgow references since I am there all the time 😂 (the garage mention made my chuckle)

Review - these characters were developed amazingly, I felt like I was reading about real people. I am so obsessed with Riley, deffos a new book boyfriend! The two main characters have great banter, seeing their friendship develop was lovely! I cried, laughed and gasped, I went through every emotions.
I wasn’t bored at all and the plot was really enjoyable, I liked multiple storylines that we were following and also liked the time jump chapters to see a bit of the history and understand why characters would react in a certain way.

I loved the small town and found family within this book, it was super heartwarming!

The perfect rom com to read if you want to escape a little!

I highly recommend adding this to your tbr!

I enjoyed this cute rom-com, telling the story of Becca Taylor, a struggling author who recently learned her best friend passed away. When the chance to escape to Ireland with one of her virtual author friends pops up, she jumps at it. Once she arrives, she is in for a HUGE surprise. Her virtual author friend is not a female as she thought, but a tall very handsome man.

Overall semi-predictable story with a cute ending. I enjoyed reading this!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC, all opinions are my own

Title: Plot Twist by Breea Keenan

Release Date: 28th March 2024

4 Stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley.

Get ready to be swept off your feet!

This rom-com will make you laugh and smile.

Delivering endless plot twists (I guess it is to be expected due to the title) , sweet love, and heartwarming moments.

In this cute tale of love, family, and unexpected surprises, readers are in for a cozy, fast-paced read that will leave them smiling long after the final page.


Becca Taylor, teacher and aspiring author, having lost her best friend and discovering a very hurtful secret, decides to take a break from reality. So, when fellow writer Riley O’Connell invites Becca to the charming Irish Countryside (Yes please!) she can’t pack her bags fast enough……..even though they have never met.

At the centre of it all is the sweet and charming romance between the Riley O’Connell, a romance novel author known for his grand gestures, and Becca Taylor, who finds herself swept off her feet by his undeniable charm. However life s never that simple and each have they own luggage to carry and deal with along the way.

Breea Keenan has created a cast of characters that readers will instantly fall in love with. From the endearing Riley, whose romantic gestures steal the show, to tBecca, whose vulnerability and strength make her relatable and compelling, each character adds depth and dimension to the story. Supporting characters, including meddling, lovable family members and loyal enemies to somewhat friends, round out the ensemble cast and bring an extra layer of warmth and humour.

Breea Keenan’s writing style is cozy, charming, and irresistibly engaging.

Each page is filled with heartfelt moments, and laugh-out-loud humour. The fast-paced plot keeps readers glued to the edge of their seats, eagerly devouring each new twist and turn. Despite its cozy atmosphere, this rom-com is anything but predictable, keeping readers guessing until the very end.

I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a feel-good escape!

Funny and charming! I sped through this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.
