Ok so first off, I got to page 44 and called it. I said I know exactly what is going to happen here. I made a notation and lo and behold, I was exactly correct. 
 So yeah, the plot is pretty obvious here. We're not fooling anyone. And I'm not talking about the general outline of Cinderella bc DUH that's a given. I mean the GIANT, HUGE surprise plot twist isn't that giant or huge. 
 Now, all of that said, this book was really great. The classic story with a vastly different take was genius and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series (though I will wait bc I'm on a January buying freeze, so I'll order February 1st haha!!) 
 Meyer is a fantastic writer pulling us into the story and showing us details and feelings and explaining a world that felt real but isn't. She helped a non mechanical reader feel included on even the description of wiring and bolts. That is an immense achievement for any writer.
