Plot Twist Kindle Edition
An aspiring screenwriter has a chance encounter with an actor who could be the man of her dreams. Over the next ten years, she’ll write the story . . . but will he end up being the star?
February 4, 2003, promises to be a typical day for Olivia Ross—a greeting card writer whose passion project is a screenplay of her own. But after she and a handsome actor have a magical meet-cute in a coffee shop, they make a spontaneous pact: in ten years, after they’ve found the success they’re just sure they’re going to achieve, they’ll return to the coffeehouse to partner up and make a film together. The only problem? Olivia neglected to get the stranger’s name. But she doesn’t forget his face—or the date.
For the next ten years, every February 4 is marked with coincidences and ironies for Olivia. As men come and go and return to her life, she continues to write, but still wonders about the guy from the coffee shop—the nameless actor she’s almost certain has turned out to be Hamish MacDougal, now a famous A-lister and Hollywood leading man.
But a lot can happen in ten years, and while waiting for the curtain to rise on her fate, the true story of Olivia’s life is being written—and if she’s not careful, she’ll completely miss the real-life romantic comedy playing out right before her eyes.

Review
'Turner's (Hadley Beckett's Next Dish) humorous latest has an enjoyable New Adult vibe . . . There is a happily ever after, but not the one most readers will be expecting.' -- Library Journal

With Bethany Turner’s signature nods to pop culture, I loved following Olivia’s quick-witted journey, in her head and through the dialogue, as she navigates the ups, downs, and all-arounds of her choices in life and love—all winding toward that final plot twist. You go, Olivia!
-Different/Unique (the same meet cutes and tropes get really old after a while)
-Intriguing storyline keeps interest
-Fun references to pop culture
-Not too spicy (the focus is the plot)
-Nothing too heavy
-Endearing male lead
-Excellent ending
Cons:
-The main character never really being honest/saying what she wants to say, resulting in problems/unhappiness, gets super annoying
-The relationship the FMC has with her best friend is a bit strange - the way they treat each other at times isn't so great, and the devotion the FMC has to her is a bit odd
-The writing itself was a bit subpar at times; I often found myself skimming
-Not having an epilogue was disappointing
One thing I disliked quite a lot was when there was a conversation or scene happening and there was a ton of internal conflict/conversation happening. It took away from the moment and never added anything. I ended up skipping most of them so I could read how the scene ended before I forgot what it was about.
Spoiler part:
I did not like that there were two kisses that were cheating. It did feel realistic and matches the story and both times the people were honest with their partners right away and resolved it. But it made me uncomfortable and I had to stop reading for a bit after each one.
Throughout the 10 years that progressed, we see Olivia 's friendship with Fiona and the many ups and down in Olivia's life both romantically and personally. Of course, with Plot Twist as the title, this novel definitely has some twists and turns and plot twists that I didn't expect.
