Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, 512 pages

Scarlet is book 2 in the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer.  Cinder, the beautiful cyborg, who just found out she's also Lunar, escapes from prison in the Eastern Commonwealth early in the story, along with fellow prisoner Carswell Thorne.   A parallel story is happening in France with Scarlet, whose grandmother has disappeared, and Wolf, the mysterious stranger who says he wants to help Scarlet find her.  This book seemed to mostly be a set up for book 3 of the series.  I kept waiting for Cinder and Carswell to hook up with Scarlet and Wolf, and it did eventually happen, but right at the end so now on to book 3 to see what fairy tale character will get a sci-fi twist next.  Let the fun continue!
