Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for a review!

Plot Twist was a cute read! Siobhan and Marcel's Twitter argument about whether romance or crime thrillers are the better book genre, and up taking on a challenge to write a romantic thriller together. Along the way, their relationship blurs the lines between co-authors and something more.

I really liked Siobhan as a character. She felt believable, real, and heart-warming but not afraid to stand up for herself when it was needed. Marcel pissed me off, which truth be told made me take way more angry reading breaks than expected, but he redeemed himself in the end, when he admitted he was being stupid, and he proved himself worthy of Siobhan. :)

grumpy meets sunshine in this tale of two authors. reminiscent of beach read by emily henry, these two authors must work together but what will come of it? longing and fought feelings! epic love !

This book started off a bit awkward, not sure if that was due to translation, or just the writing in general.

The MMC was absolutely unbearable, the FMC was honestly a bit eh...

The idea of this novel was what drew me in, but overall, I think I was expecting something else out of this. Just wasn't really feeling a true dynamic between the characters.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Crossing for my DRC.

The premise was so promising that I was thrilled to start reading, but something about the execution fell flat to me. I kept returning to this book again and again, hoping I'd get hooked this time, but instead, I just kept finding more things to get annoyed at until I gave up. Mostly, I found the he narration childish, while the dialogue sounded like it was written by someone who hasn't spoken to another person in years.

2 writers - one debutante and another well-established but facing a major writer's block get together to write a novel. Will it work out?

It would have worked out well. Siobhan Harris is a great character and a writer to boot. I am sorry I cannot say the same for Marcel Black.

He was mean throughout the book for no reason and I didn't think he really reformed his ways, either.

1.5 stars rounded up to 2. Thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Crossing for the ARC.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Plot Twist was cute! Siobhan and Marcel get into a Twitter argument about whether romance or crime thrillers are the better book genre, and up taking on a challenge to write a romantic thriller together. Along the way, their relationship blurs the lines between co-authors and something more.

I really liked Siobhan as a character. She felt believable and real, wearing her heart on her sleeve but also not being afraid to stand up for herself when she needed to. Marcel mostly made me mad, up until the end. He was cold, always had to be right, and let his past cloud his present to the point of sabotaging good things. But in the end, his walls came down, he admitted he was being stupid, and he proved himself worthy of Siobhan. The HEA was worth it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Crossing for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

DNF at 10%.

I realize this isn’t very far into a book but I was confused beyond imagine from the very start. THE VERY START. PROLOGUE START. Maybe it was a translational issue, I don’t know. But then, THEN there was Taylor Swift SLANDER of she’s only for the 15 year olds and that’s a BOLD FACED LIE. SHE IS FOR EVERYONE. And that was my 13th reason and why I could not read more.

[Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this book. This is my opinion but only one opinion more, you should read it and judge it by yourself]

This reading has been an experiment for me since the original version is written in Spanish and I'm spaniard. I also know the writer via social media and remember perfectly when this book was published in Spain. I was excited for Carmen Sereno when I knew this book was going to be translated and I was very happy to finally have it on my hands. And it's a good book!
It's an enemies to lovers with two writers as MC. Siobhan has just started her carreer as a succesful romance writer and Marcel is a top seller thriller writer. Where Shioban is excited for her job, Marcel is almost tired of everything. The bad reviews of his last book doesn't help him to lift his mood. Due to a public beef via Twitter, they are forced to write a novel that mixes their two literary genres, obviously working together. Sparkles fly between the two and the process of writing became mixed with their mutual discovery of the other.
It's a light and funny reading but with an unexpected twist of depth. My main struggle has been with Marcel, an uptight character that only opens to us at the end of the book, too late for me. Siobhan is a ray of sunshine but sometimes seemed a little naif.
The book has two different parts. The NY one presents plot and characters and it's my least favourite, too much NY references that felt useless to me. The other one is in New Orleans and it seems like a different book, full of life, revelations and depth. Even Marcel seems a great guy!
Overall it's been a good reading. Carmen Sereno knows how to write and she's capable of create an engaging story. Sadly I struggled with Marcel's dark mood but it's something that doesn't ruin my good sensations of the book.

This was such a fun, enjoyable read! It gave me the vibes of like The Hating Game x Beach Read with the workplace rival authors needing to pair up and write a book together putting them very much out of their comfort zone. I am sucker for a good grumpy x sunshine and enemies-to-lovers trope and this book delivered; the banter and the tension were there!

I always love a good book about books, but I also love that this book touches on the beauty of diversity and that the most beautiful things can come from when we least expect it.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book to share my honest thoughts.

Thankyou net galley for a copy of this book.

Unfortunately, I really struggled to get into this book as I just really didn’t like the MMC which caused me to struggle from the start.

Whoever I was really enjoying the plot and could see myself growing to like the FMC. But I just wasn’t wanting this romance to blossom at all.

Due to this I did DNF at 40% as this is something I could t really get past.

This book was ok. I didn't love it the way I wanted to, though. I am not sure if it is because it was something I wasn't expecting or something else.

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

I always enjoy a book set in the book world. And this book was no exception. I enjoyed it a lot!

Omg this was absolutely stunning!!! The banter, the laughter, the bickering! I loved it so much. I need more! I’m so sad this is the only book of hers translated into English. The ending made me cry happy tears.

3.5 stars rounded up. This was an entertaining, opposites attract rom-com about two very different authors collaborating on a novel.

I liked the banter between the leads and felt their connection early on. The characters themselves were mildly to moderately annoying (I hated the whole "princess" thing), but that's not totally unusual in this kind of story. The book did make me smile though, so that's a plus.

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.

Thank you, Netgalley, for allowing me to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

I was pleased with Plot Twist. Enemies lovers trope rarely makes one of the characters truly despicable, but Marcel was not a good man and I'm here for it, I also have awful taste in men, but I don't think they affect my review.

I decided to choose the story without knowing that it is based on an original book in Spanish, but I really liked it a lot, although I couldn't connect with the male protagonist at all, especially at the beginning, but overall it is a very good story.

1 star

When you hate both main characters from the start, you know it's not going to work, and this is, I didn't like this book.
Both main characters are vapid, superficial, and horrendous people, and neither of them had any character development by the end, so it was a struggle to finish this.
I won't say I'll never read from this author again because the structure of the story was good, but this was definitely a miss.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Siobhan Harris is an inexperienced romance writer, just trying to make ends meet. Recently ghosted by her boyfriend and stuck in an unaffordable apartment, she’s down to her last shred of sanity and nearly her last dollar when a book offer changes her life.

Marcel Dupont, a narcissistic asshat, ended his phenomenally successful thriller series by killing off its hero in a tantrum. His fans are outraged, and so is his publisher. He’s obsessed with keeping his identity a secret, remaining a faceless author.

Forced onto Twitter, the first thing the social media-naïve Marcel does is start a feud with Siobhan. With her star on the rise and his on the decline, the publisher decides they need to collaborate on a romantic thriller.

Cue the drama. Sparks fly, tensions escalate, and as they get to know each other, they both discover that there’s more to the other than meets the eye. The writing is sharp and witty, and the banter between Siobhan and Marcel is outstanding! Initially, I really, really disliked Marcel, but I eventually grew to love him. Siobhan, however, had my support from the very start! Also…potential 2nd book with Paige and Alex 🤔 🧐

I felt like this book starts out with a stream of consciousness dump on the reader and it felt really hard to catch up after that.
