Plot Twist

A Novel

De: Carmen Sereno, Beth Fowler - translator

Narrado por: Sophie Amoss, Jaime Lincoln Smith

In this lighthearted romp through New York City, two clashing authors must blend their differences to prove every story is worth telling and that some genres—like people—work better together.

Siobhan Harris doesn’t think of her minimum-wage life in Manhattan as aspirational, but when her debut novel is published, she becomes an instant bestseller and a romance sensation. With fame comes foes, however, and Siobhan finds herself embroiled in a Twitter feud that’s about to change the course of her career just as it’s beginning.

An established crime novelist, Marcel Black is savvy in the ways of the publishing world but less than an expert on the merits of romance. So when his opinions are publicly challenged by the fresh-faced Siobhan, Marcel doubles down until their heated back-and-forth ends with an influencer’s challenge: to put their genres’ compatibility to the test, Siobhan and Marcel should write a book together.

To leave their mark, this unlikely pair will have to contend with differences in taste, style, and experience…and the building tension between them that’s looking a lot less like enemies’ contention and a lot more like a love connection.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A fun and deftly crafted read from cover to cover, Plot Twist by novelist Carmen Sereno will prove an immediate and enduringly popular pick.”—Midwest Book Review

great book

I was surprised on how great this book was. at first there was a lot of arguments but it was definitely an attraction.

Couldn’t finish

I stopped at chapter 24 I couldn’t go any further. The beginning was great, but I didn’t like the sexual tone it became in the book. It’s not for me.

5 stars

This was such a fun and uplifting read that left me smiling from start to finish! While it included the familiar tropes you’d expect when a stubborn, set-in-his-ways man is forced to work alongside a fiercely independent, headstrong woman, it was handled with so much charm and heart that I couldn’t get enough. One scene had me laughing out loud when their argument escalated on Twitter—what started as a simple disagreement turned into a full-blown public exchange of witty, and at times petty, comments. Watching their dynamic shift as they navigated their differences, challenging and pushing each other to grow, was so rewarding. Their transformation, both as individuals and as a couple, felt genuine and deeply heartfelt. The blend of humor, sweet moments, and romantic tension made this book an absolute delight. It delivered everything I hoped for and more—I can’t recommend it enough!

Dragging

Could have been really good. Too long to get to the point. The guy could have been himself not add to hive voice sounding like he is from the streets I understand that anger is the first with someone, but that background that is scared. The story could’ve been so much more.
