"I know it must feel like you don't know me, but you do. It was just a couple of details. But the person talking to you, that was me."

Twist is the second book in Kylie Scott's Dive Bar series.

Alex finally works up the courage to meet the man she's been chatting with online for months so she heads to his bar to surprise him. Only the surprise ends up being on her when she learns Eric has no idea who she was, and it wasn't him she was talking to but his brother Joe.

It all started innocent. Joe wanted to try and get his brother interested in his online dating profile again so he took over chatting with Alex. Then he just never stopped since he enjoyed their chats. Now that she's there in person he needs to get her to accept his apology and hopes they can remain friends. Maybe more than friends if Alex has any say in it though.

Honestly, this book was on it's way to being a 4+ star favorite of mine, until closer to the end. I loved Joe so much that I took it very hard with his change of behavior. Not saying I didn't understand a lot of where he was coming from, but still. While I have remained somewhat neutral towards the characters for the first half of the novel, they annoyed me to no end in the second half.

There was unnecessary drama that didn't fit the story, it felt forced. The last quarter of the book felt rushed and left me unsatisfied. Which resulted in me not being fully committed to the characters and story. I did enjoy the writing and some of the side characters.
