The Plot Twist is a fun rom-com, with many of the much loved romance tropes: it’s a forced proximity/second chance/office romance. about Stevie and her former flame Noah. They spent a year in what she thought was bliss until he unexpectedly left for a job in New York City, leaving London, and Stevie, behind. Imagine her surprise (and readers’ delight) when she turns up for her first day at a new job she has been dreaming of for years, only to discover that Noah is not only back in London, he is now her new boss.

Anger, confusion, and longing form a confusing mix for Stevie to wade through as she works to learn the ropes at her new job, stay out of Noah’s way as much as possible, and form friendships with her new coworkers that she hopes will not learn of her past with the new boss (whom they all refer to as “The Shark” behind his back. As she and Noah spend more and more time working together, she starts to learn surprising things about the man she thought she knew so well.

This book is very well-written, and the plot is fun and well paced. Stevie is a strong female main character that is easy to root for. This is a great book for new to contemporary romance fans, or old hands at the genre who don’t mind knowing how things will end well before the story reaches its final conclusion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
