Bookseller recommendation

“Move over Tom Hanks. There is a new Hollywood heartthrob in town. Olivia Ross is a writer. A writer of greeting cards that is. She has ambitions to write a world famous screenplay, but no inspiration to write it. That is until a serendipitous encounter with a knightly stranger in a coffee shop on February 4th. This stranger comes to Olivia’s rescue when an unsuccessful flirtation goes awry. After a brief introduction, where they forget to give each other their names, it is discovered that he is an actor and she is a writer, though neither of them have been discovered yet. They make a deal, in ten years, on February 4th, they will meet back at the coffee shop, he as a world famous actor, and Olivia as a renounced screen writer. What could go wrong, right? Everything. Plot Twist is the perfect book for anyone wanting a cozy read that leaves you with warm fuzzies for hours after reading it. Filled with Hollywood heartthrobs, laugh out loud encounters, and a building storyline that will keep you reaching for more.”

Summary
About the author

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.
