The Plot Twist – review (AD)
I was kindly given an advanced electronic copy of The Plot Twist by Eleanor Goymer in exchange for an honest review.*
The Plot Twist book blurb
This love story is a work in progress…
When romcom author Allie Edwards crosses paths with bestselling crime novelist – aka publishing dinosaur – Martin Clark at a party, they discover they both have crippling writer’s block, overdue manuscripts and precisely zero words to show to their respective editors.
With deadlines looming, Allie and Martin decide to switch plots and tell each other’s stories.
In the writing process, Allie not only gains a father-figure in Martin, but also meets gorgeous events caterer Will, the answer to the leading man-shaped hole in her life and her lack of spicy material.
Caught between love and her career, what could possibly go wrong?
My overall thoughts on The Plot Twist
Eleanor Goymer’s The Plot Twist is a heartwarming and clever romcom that deftly blends themes of love, friendship, and second chances.
Fans of contemporary romance and authors like Emily Henry will enjoy this delightful tale of two writers navigating writer’s block and life’s complications.
Ali Edwards, a romcom author plagued by writer’s block, meets fellow bestseller Martin Clark, who is also struggling to create.
Their solution? To write about each other’s lives in hopes of breaking through their creative roadblocks.
This unique premise not only draws readers in but also provides a canvas for a touching exploration of human connection and growth.
The heart of the story lies in Ali and Martin’s relationship, which evolves into a heartwarming father-daughter dynamic.
Their bond, along with Martin’s supportive and vibrant wife, creates a sense of found family that enriches the narrative.
Ali’s journey is further complemented by her romance with Will, a charming events caterer who adds a dash of swoon-worthy sweetness to the plot.
While Ali and Will’s relationship brings romantic energy, it occasionally feels underdeveloped amidst the book’s many subplots.
However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging story. The characters are fresh and unique, standing out in a genre often crowded with familiar archetypes.
Goymer’s writing is both warm and witty, capturing the charm of its characters and the emotional depth of their journeys.
The Plot Twist strikes a perfect balance between heartfelt moments and light-hearted humour, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
