Plot Twist by Erin La RosaRating: ✩✩✩✩✩
The first book in this series For Butter or Worse was only a three star read for me, but I was excited to read another in this series/by this author because it felt like there was a so much potential for the series. I am so glad I did! When I say I read this in one sitting, I mean I was literally holding the iPad in one hand and stirring dinner with the other because I couldn't put it down.
This one hits all the contemporary romance high notes and tropes (with the aspect of being self-referential because our fair protagonist is herself a romance author!) while feeling realistic. The characters are flawed without being overly tragic, the plot is movie worthy while the premise is reasonable by romance standards and the resolution shows actual character development. The "snark" bordered on my personal pet-peeve of just being immaturity, but once you get past the first few chapters the characters stop being too twee. This tale weaves together many subplots, and some fizzle a bit, but overall the interweaving of the characters really helps the world building.
For fans of classic rom-coms with a mature twist, this one should be on your TBR Pile.
