Plot Twist is a delicious romp through ten years with, yes, a brilliant plot twist at the end. Fantastic, actually. After a chance (and hilarious) encounter between a budding playwright and an aspiring actor, the two decide to meet on the same spot in ten years-time. Their theory is that by then, he’ll be a huge star and can star in the movie she will have finished writing. 

The book then checks in with Olivia each year as coincidence (or fate) strike her as she dreams and plans her screenplay, convinced the man she met is, in fact now, a huge Hollywood star. We watch as Olivia loses possibly the love of her life, and then realizes her error after he builds a life with her best friend. 

As ever with a Bethany Turner book, the pages are littered with emotional truth meets comedy, meets glorious pop culture references. And we end up a decade later with fate delivering an amazing outcome, two happy endings and an almighty satisfying plot twist. 

I’ve read a couple of reviews where people struggled with this book. And yes, if you don’t enjoy a novel concept, personal angst peppered with humor, and eighties references, wielded like a weapon of genius timing, then this probably isn’t for you. However, if you love to suspend reality for a while and escape into another time, then this book is a complete winner.
