Plot twists are actually easier to pull off in first person, because the first person perspective shapes what the audience sees. There's a famous plot twist at the end of The Sixth Sense, and the clues are all present throughout the movie, but the audience doesn't pick up on it, because we see the entire movie from the perspective of the protagonist.

Make sure you have the entire plot worked out for yourself, and that you've considered it from everyone's perspective. But only write into the narrative what your character sees and experiences, and from her perspective and frame of understanding.
