She’s Not Sorry – Book 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.

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse. While on the shift, she comes across a patient named Caitlin Beckett who apparently survived the suicide attempt where she had jumped from the big pedestrian bridge. Caitlin’s suicide attempt was talk among the ICU nurse and Meghan soon finds herself getting close to Caitlin’s parents. Soon, the police come forward, saying that there is a witness claiming that Caitlin was pushed and not jumped, which makes this case a murder case. Meanwhile a string of robberies are taking place across Chicago and Meghan couldn’t help feeling that someone is following her.

This was a fast paced thriller. Although in my opinion, the first few chapters started out a bit slow but then gained momentum towards the middle of the book. This wasn’t as great as Local Woman Missing, which I thoroughly enjoyed but it was a good thriller nonetheless. The twist revealing at the middle of the book and also towards the end were both completely unexpected. Mary Kubica knows how to put the reader on the edge and I have to say, this book did make feel like I am on the edge.

Overall, this was a good thriller and would rate 4.25 stars.
