She’s Not Sorry
By Mary Kubica
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Meghan is an ICU nurse and single mom to a teenage girl. She’s trying to figure out life after divorce. One night at her divorce support group, she runs into Nat, acquaintance from high school. Meghan, desperate for a friend, tries to cox Nat into attending the divorce support in hopes that it will give Nat the courage to divorce her abusive husband. But after Nat reappears in Meghan’s life, Meghan suddenly has lots of trouble in her life. Her life’s a mess outside of work and she’s struggling with one of her patients in the ICU. Meghan’s not sure if her patient will survive a tragic fall. When her patient’s family begins to think their daughter was pushed, things get really interesting…
I was so excited for this one! Ever since reading Local Woman Missing, I knew Mary Kubica had a gift for writing thrillers. I’ve had this one on my list for a while and I’m glad I finally read it.
Honestly, I struggled through part one. I felt like there was so much going on and I was ready for some action. Then I hit part two and WOW. Some of the twists I definitely saw coming, but there were a couple that really took me by surprise.
This one offered a really unique perspective on healthcare and being a nurse. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Meghan’s nursing role was a huge deal in part two. It was very interesting to read about that since I work in healthcare myself.
The one complaint I have about this book is how many different storylines there were. Kidnapping scams, drama from California, a mysterious man attacking women, family drama all around, etc.
Just a lot to keep up with!
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. If you enjoy unreliable narrators, family drama, and con stories, this might just be the thriller for you. I suggest looking into trigger warnings before reading

“‘I may have spoiled her, yes. Some. Not intentionally. But she was my last. My last to carry, to give birth to, to nurse. I coddled her more than the others, because after Caitlin, I would never do it again. There was a finality to it, which was hard for me, because I dreamt my whole life about being a mother. Each of Caitlin’s firsts—first steps, first day of kindergarten—was also my last.’”
Lies, betrayal, and family secrets envelope this thriller. It’s a slow burn journey but with each turn, you question that person’s motives and secrets. It’s a good thriller that will keep you guessing!

What a fun thriller read! This book draws you in super deep, and sets the tone so wonderful that I could feel what characters felt throughout the read. Multiple plot-twists that only made the book more interesting. After you get to climax it just keeps climbing this isn’t a book with a falling action.
What I loved:
This is a cheeky book where the author wants to throw you off so she’ll let you have a clue but you’ve most likely overlooked another.
What confused me:
I guess it’s part of her style to leave us wondering and I think this is more intentional than a writing flaw, but man there’s a big question you’re left with at the end that had me like wait what ???
Fair warning:
This book has dialogue but it is 1st person POV so a lot of the read is her internal monologue. It’s done fantastic so I didn’t get bored and that’s a difficult feat.
