She's Not Sorry.

 

★★★★★

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Harlequin Trade Publishing/Park Row for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review 

An ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient’s frightening past in this chilling thriller. 

Meghan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time nurse. While on duty at the hospital one day, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge and plunging over twenty feet to the train tracks below. 

But when a witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin pushed and if so, by whom and why? 

Meghan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time, she mistakenly lets herself get too close until she’s deeply entangled in Caitlin’s and her family’s lives. Only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims.

 Haunting. 

In 2022, I started reading Mary Kubica's works. I should've known that she'd become one of my favorite thriller authors. I had read two of her books before starting this one. I didn't think the twists in her books could get any more unexpected, but she astonished me again. I was excited to see that she was releasing a new book and requested it as soon as I saw it on NetGalley. I didn’t have time to read it right away, but once I did, I couldn’t get enough of the story, and the characters. There’s much more to say about the story, but I don’t want to give too much away. 

The title: She’s Not Sorry makes you curious, even if you never read the book by the author; there is the mystery behind the title. Even though I adored Local Woman Missing, & Just the Nicest Couple , this was my favorite one. I initially found the story to be slow-moving at the beginning, but it quickly became fascinating and difficult to put down. Just when I believed I had figured out what happened and who was behind it, another twist made me reconsider everything. I’ve never read a book with so many surprising turns. 

I liked Meghan, despite some of her decisions that I didn’t agree with. I loved the lengths that she would go, to protect her daughter. However, I wonder what Sienna would think of her mother if she knew the truth about what she had done. Caitlin, I liked her at first and wondered what made her jump. The feeling lasted until I discovered what Caitlin was truly like. I had so many questions about what happened. She’s Not Sorry is a book you won’t forget. 

This story hasn’t left my mind. I would strongly recommend this book to any thriller fans. Be prepared for a exhilarating ride.
