She’s Not Sorry

Summary: 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.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I’ve pretty much read every book by Mary Kubica and still remember my reaction to the ending of The Good Girl (loved it!)

Honestly? Some books of Mary’s are great hits and some are semi-misses. This one straddled the line for me. Stop reading now if you don’t want to be spoiled……..

The first half or a little more was slow. Dragging. My mom’s a nurse and I used to work in a hospital so I know about HIPAA, etc. And while the attacker of the women in the Chicago area was definitely supposed to heighten suspense- it did, but it also left me questioning our main character and her ways ( the lock on the door, for example)

When things got good, they got good; but I still wasn’t excited that it took so long to get going.

Random thoughts (spoilers ahead)

There were bits and pieces of the story that never really got fleshed out or resolved and that was a disappointment.

Like did Ben know that Caitlin was pretending to be someone Meghan knew?

And the 10,000 bucks? Did Caitlin set this up for Ben? Did both of them set it up? There had been a mention of the divorce and Meghan inheriting some money and Ben not being happy about it because it happened as the divorce was already in progress.

The rapist angle- well, it just felt kinda left field.

Bottom line: This book had some good stuff and even though there were some plot holes/gaps & draggy places, I felt like when the action started, it got good. 3 star read for me.
