The Plot has the crazy and twisty story. A mystery novel within a mystery novel. It's about a writer named Jacob, who's once a best novelist and currently working as a teacher on a creative writing when the one of his student shared the best story plot ever that is predictedly going to be one of the bestseller novels when published. And there it started when he learned that the student died and the book was never published then he decided to write a book using that plot. The book hits, but the there's a twist! Someone knew what he did.

The writing style kind of slowed me down at first but as I read through the chapter it was bearable. It was a plot-driven and the twist was unexpected. Totally loved the story. Rating it with a 4/5.

"Everyone has a unique voice and a story nobody else can tell. And anybody can be a writer.”
