Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this novel. There is still some formatting that needs to be done to make this story work appropriately on the kindle but it did not distract from the story. I enjoyed the dual pov and there are some great tropes that I love in this story including best friends brother and high school crush. Sophie and Dash have great chemistry and I love them together. Sophie feels relatable but not all at the same time. Who hasn’t had a drunken confession they want to take back or wondered why past relationships never worked out for them? She began to feel unrelatable when she gave off what I would consider all the stereotypical LA vibes like the snack choices and the leaks to the paparazzi. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and would recommend.

I'm on bookish cloud nine. Plot Twist is the perfect beach read. Funny, charming, sexy, and heartfelt, it has all the ingredients that make this a delightful book. Sophie and Dash’s journey was delicious. Overall, this book has been fantastic, and I don't think I would want to change any of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Dash and Sophie are on a journey to find self-acceptance and end up relying on each other along the way. Their romantic connection is complex and realistic, but still pure and focused. Sophie’s bisexuality was discussed unapologetically and in an understated manner, which I really appreciated. This book is the definition of a modern romance, with frequent references to TikTok that offered an airy feel to the book. Overall, it’s a quick read that will leave you feeling content.

I love a good meta romance and this one did not disappoint. Sophie is a romance writer who’s got a secret: she’s never been in love, and her writer’s block on an HEA for her second novel may cost her her book contract. Landlord and best friend’s brother Dash agrees to help her seek out past relationships and see what went wrong. Dash is a former actor from a Hollywood dynasty who has some secrets of his own. They definitely shouldn’t get involved, but it’s increasingly hard to stay away from each other.

A lovely follow up to For Butter or Worse, featuring some returning characters. I loved Sophie and Dash and was rooting for both of them. Not to mention Richard the squirrel.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

This unfortunately fell a little flat for me and also I think it could use one more pass through the editor(s), I clocked a handful of (mostly negligible) errors while reading. The title is eye-catching and the cover is gorgeous imo.

This plot had so much potential unfortunately it failed to hook me in. I didn't feel engaged, invested, or interested. The story and characters just didn't feel relatable or interesting enough for me to want to care about them getting their HEA. The MMC and FMC individually just came off as super...pathetic.

I'm also not a big fan of the whole "revisit your exes and interview them to meet 'xyz' goal" trope and also the cheating trope. The cheating is super gray but even a whiff of a possible cheat is enough to shut my reader brain off and force me to not care about the rest of the entire book, which slogged on anyway.

Solid 3 stars, I'll reread when it's released just to see if this is a #moodreader problem

Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for this copy of the e-arc in exchange for a honest review.

Plot Twist follows romance writer Sophie who is having trouble finishing her second book due to her never actually being in love. As well as Dash, former teen heartthrob and Sophie's landlord and brother to Sophie's best friend.

Sophie decides to help her overcome her writers block to meet up with her exes and share on it tik tok after getting the encouragement for Dash.

Dash is struggling with maintaining his sobriety and has turned to crafting (mostly pottery) and has been posting to tiktok anonymously. With the dread of writing a speech for an upcoming event for his father, Sophie has offered to lead a had and write the speech for him.

I really loved reading Sophie's and Dash's love story, Erin is a great writer and I will be going back and reading her other books.

Plot Twist features Romance author Sophie Lyon who has never actually been in love, and ex-teen heart-throb Dash Montrose. This is a quick, easy cozy romance but for me, personally, I wasn't all-in for these characters. I didn't think they were super relatable (maybe because of all the celebrity status/culture that surrounded them?)

This is cute, but I wasn't gripped or engaged.

Romance writer Sophie has never been truly in love. She is struck in her latest book and can't find a happily ever after for her characters. She decides to overcome her writer's block by reuniting with her exes and document it online. Her reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose—a former teen heartthrob—has social media all figured out and offers to help. He uses crafting to maintain his sobriety... Attractions start and complications arise....

Love Sophie and Dash together. Fun characters and love their chemistry together. Terrific banter. Everything I need in a rom-com.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
