She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica

4.0

She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica follows the story of Meghan Michaels, a divorced mother of a teenage daughter, who works as a nurse in the ICU at a Chicago hospital. One day, a mysterious patient named Caitlin is brought into the ICU after falling from a pedestrian bridge, leaving her in a coma. In addition, Meghan is also dealing with a side plot involving an old high school acquaintance who needs help escaping her abusive husband.

These two plot threads intertwine in unexpected ways, leaving the reader constantly guessing about what will happen next. The story is full of twists and turns that are truly jaw-dropping and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some of the twists are so surprising that they even made me want to reread the story to see if I had missed anything. Without revealing too much, let's say that the connections between the characters are far from ordinary.

The story's intensity is palpable from the beginning and continues until the end. Combined with the fast-paced narrative, this makes for a highly riveting and shocking read.

She's Not Sorry is told entirely from Meghan's perspective in first-person narration style. While there are some moments where the story's mundane details are overly elaborated, it's the perfect narration style for this kind of intense psychological thriller. While sometimes excessive, the detailed descriptions add a layer of realism that makes the story even more immersive.

If you're looking for a captivating read that will keep you guessing until the end, then "She's Not Sorry" is worth picking up.
