So he did what any person would when wanting to avoid emotions and pivoted the conversation. “I’ll carry you to the couch,” he said.

This book proved to me that even when I hype up a book in my mind A LOT, it is possible for it to not be a 5⭐️ read for me. Which isn't a bad thing; I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and smiled a lot during it.

For my absolute least favorite thing about this book that cost it at least like half a star, is the SMIRKING. There is simply way too much smirking going on and 90% of it makes no sense. The word appears 33 times which may be only once every 10 pages, but because of how out of place it is for the scene and characters, it just enraged me every single time.

I also wish there was more development for Dash. I loved him but I feel like he only had two personality traits and neither really had anything to do with his PERSONALITY. I honestly feel like this book needs another round or two of editing.

Onto the things I did like... honestly most parts of the book. Sophie's relationship with Nina (I MISS THAT QUEEN) and Poppy was really genuine and refreshing. I loved how much Sophie messed up and was forced to be vulnerable. I really enjoyed the scenes with her meeting her exes; most of them were absolute trash, but it was frustrating in an entertaining way, if that makes sense.

More random thoughts:
I actually really loved all the side-plots in the book, especially all the ones Dash had.
Him in the the last few chapters was very

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I was going to. Plot Twist was featured as a November Indie bookseller ALC and I picked it up simply because of that. I ended up having so much fun with this audiobook. It was so cute and the audiobook was fantastic.

Plot Twist is a spin on a book/trope/premise that I have read many times before, but Erin La Rosa managed to put a unique spin on it that makes it stand out in my mind. She managed to take a cute, sweet, fun romance but then insert more serious topics and handle them with such care.

I definitely would recommend this book and would especially recommend the audiobook.

Unfortunately, this title was not for me. It was very tropey and all of the TikTok talk turned me off. I am a big fan of tiktok, but I felt like every other thing mentioned was tiktok…much like my review now. I wanted to love this book. The cover was super cute, and the synopsis really drew me to want to read it, but after a few chapters the MFC really just began to annoy me and I couldn't get over my annoyance.
