The Plot Twist is THE bookstore for all BookTok girlies out there (IYKYK). I've been following this store on social media for a while and have actually purchased a few books directly from their website, because they do really cool partnerships with authors where you can buy a pre-order from them and get a few extra goodies with your purchase. Anyhow! I was finally able to visit the store in-person and was pleasantly surprised by their incredible selection. They carry mainly romance, romantasy and fantasy books, but I ain't complaining since that's what I read. On the back of the store they have a private seating area that feels very speakeasy-type. I highly recommend supporting this amazing indie bookstore. I also encourage everyone to follow their Instagram account since they have a ton of monthly events. read more

I came here to check out queer book club in May and it was great! Such a cute and cozy back room for book club discussion, Charlotte was awesome as the host, and the bookstore is so pretty! Love that they also have a bar, I got one of their special margaritas and it was very yummy! Will def be back for more queer book club events! Sadly I don't live close enough to Denton just come by here and chill out in the back room to read or I absolutely would! read more

I like a bookstore that has a story of its own. At The Plot Twist, it's in an old building off the historic Denton square. Old buildings have many stories to tell, and this spot now tells the stories of romance novels. And a bar. Yes, I said that, this book store has a bar in it. It also has a gorgeous chandelier, dark wood shelves to hold all those naughty novels. Okay, most of the novels are probably PG, but what's the fun in that. And let's not skip past the hidden room. You take a step up from the shop and you're transported into a dark room, uniquely decorated, it's so you can enjoy reading the book you just purchased. I find the whole concept wonderful! read more

This little Book store in Denton is perfect for my book addiction. The walls are lined with books Om the right and they have features at the front of the store as well. They sell kindle accessories and book merch as well as drinks from the little bar. The staff there are all friendly and all can yap about books and recommend anything based off your niche. The price is pretty decent and theres even a back room where you can relax and read. My only qualm would be more hardcover books since I like to buy them as trophy books but overall 10/10 read more

Visiting from San Antonio and Instagram informed me of this new store here in Denton. I am a book lover and this place didn't disappoint! Loved that not only will they be selling books but also candles, stickers, bookmarks etc. They also sell drinks! Staff was super friendly. The candles smell amazing and the bookmarks are super cute- great price for all items. The back though! An amazing area for sitting in the back! Bring a book and hang out! Definitely a stop for next book club trip! Can't wait to see what more this store brings around. read more

This was a really cool bookstore to visit! I am not gonna lie. It is mainly geared towards women. But even as a man who happened to be there with my wife, I did not feel uncomfopurple visiting. On top of being a bookstore, they are a bar. With kind of a speak easy type drinking room in the back. In addition to books, they sell other merchandise as well.Most notably their selection of socks! read more

Best romance book store we've ever been to! Such a great vibe, we'd spend many days here if we could! A must visit for all your romance novels and merch finds! Plus a quiet back room "book nook" of sorts to just escape the hustle bustle of the day, grab a drink from their mixed drinks menu and read a book back there. It's super cute! We loved it! Could spend hours here, esp since they have a very clean, well decorated bathroom with good hand smelling soap! Lol it's all fantastic! read more

Visited this bookstore with a group of friends while walking around denton square. The store is very niche with a cozy vibe. A bit on the small side and tight during busy weekends. The drink menu was right in line with the theme of romance books. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity and trying to decipher who was in line for drinks, who was just standing around, and who was browsing books I finally made it to the front of the bar and ordered the Xaddy drink. It was blueberry and vanilla flavored with many other ingredients. Overall the drink tasted great but was also way too sweet and after talking more with the bartender we learned that this was only the first weekend serving drinks so I'm giving them a slight pass. The bartender told us that they could only pour 1oz shots into the drinks which surprised me since 2oz tends to be the standard for most bars and i would think that for around $12 i should be able to get a 2oz pour rather than what tasted more like a overly sugary mock-tail. Additionally, the drink serving was painfully slow, to the point that i stood in line for a second drink for nearly 15 minutes without any movement before i just gave up and went to get drinks somewhere else. It's unfortunate that this was the experience as i truly feel like the drink menu so well thought out but just fell short from what seemed to be an inexperienced bartender. This place is in huge need of a bartender with some real experience during peak hours that can get drinks out fast and keep the line moving and i also hope they can work out their pours so that the drinks are not quit as sugary. Overall this place is a great idea with a solid foundation with just okay execution. read more

My family and I had the BEST day visiting The Plot Twist! There are books for every type of romance reader, book themed bar/coffee specials, and a reading lounge to sit back and drink a Tamlin's Tears while you recover from dropping your life-savings on all things bookish. I was so excited to find lots of local works from authors. The owner and staff were so kind and friendly to every customer. They were offering to take pictures for customers, give book recommendations, talk about upcoming plans for the store, or talk about anything book related. It's a bookstore you dream (or read) of visiting. I can't wait to go back! read more

Came here with some ladies from my Book Club and I really enjoyed this space! The cafe is such a fun add to this place. I love the fact that they offer both cocktails and mocktails! The ladies in my group really enjoyed the options! I will say that it is a small quaint place, so there isn't a terrible amount of seating. You pretty much have to grab a spot the second someone gets up from the table. So that's great for someone who wants a cozy spot to enjoy a book but it's not ideal for those who are trying to get together with a group of people. But it can definitely be done! Not a deterrent, but something for people to consider! All in all, I really enjoyed coming here and will definitely be back! read more

I attended the book bedazzling event this past Friday and it was so much fun. They have a small room in the back set up for crafts. I got to meet other people while doing a fun craft. I enjoyed a yummy mocktail. I don't drink and I appreciate that they have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to choose from. It's a fun store with a good atmosphere. The staff were interested in seeing our projects and how they turned out and overall wanted us to have fun read more

The bookstore itself is very cute, and they have a nice lounge area to drink, and they had a great selection of books but that's where the compliments end. The staff is very rude. They are short with customers, and when the lady was calling to inform people their books were available she was very obnoxious and saying "you need to pick it up in the next 48 hours" like what if I am out of town? I asked what kind of alcohol brands they had and was directed to "only order off the menu, because we put a lot of work into it" Overall I would pass on ever coming here again. Go to talking animals or blush instead. read more

I absolutely adore this place. My partner and I have visited twice now and we have been met with such kindness both times. Everyone is always so open to talking and sharing. There drinks are INCREDIBLE! They make a specialized menu that clearly has a lot of thought and is, for lack of a better description, absolutely girly pop in the best way. The lounge and over ambiance is welcoming and comfortable. I could read here for hours. So glad this business is a parts of the Denton community! read more

Love, love, love! The perfect bookstore for me! They were very helpful! I can't wait to go back and try a cocktail while I browse!

My wife and I were touring dowtown Denton and stumble on this little bookstore right off the square. I found a book I liked too (which I did not expect given the space I think they are trying to create but don't get me wrong folks were very welcoming). I called looking for the next book in the series and the person advised about that and having also read the first book she noted the "plot twist" at the end...very on brand for a place called...The Plot Twist. We did not drink at the wine bar because we had to head home but being wine enthusiasts I did notice that the wine menu appeared to be carefully selected. I know my wife will be back if anything to pick up the next book for me. For something barely two dollars over the cheapest I could find online, I don't know how they do it, but The Plot Twist is a wonderful value. Local. Bookstore with Wine. Well done. Hope this place finds some success. read more

Today around 3:10pm. My husband and I, drove a distance excited to check this place out. We walked in and there was no greeting which we didn't think any of it, at first. We saw workers busy with other people so we figured they were just busy. However, everyone else was greeted with warm welcomes (even if they were occupied with another customer) and asked if they needed any help. I was excited to buy a book, but continuously got discouraged as we still didn't get any kind of acknowledgment that we were there. The place is small, so it's hard not to notice the small things of customer service. I ended up putting my book back and we walked out. It's a cute environment and the decor is nice to see. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Everyone here is so sweet! The selection of the books is both mainstream and indie, so I definitely think it's a place you should check out if you want to visit a cute, non-chain bookstore. Finally we have a cute bookshop in DFW! read more
