well, a plot twist indeed. I hate to say it, but I did guess it. as I kept reading, the idea kept growing and imagine my surprise to find out I was right. I don't think I was entirely certain of it until I read the chapter where it was revealed, but I definitely wasn't surprised when I was right. I liked the story, though. it was interesting to follow, but I don't think I'd reread it because I think knowing the twist would take away the fun.
