She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica

 Publishing:  April 2, 2024 by Harlequin Trade Publishing – Park Row

 

 

Reason I chose to Read this Book: I read a number of this author’s books, and found them quite good….usually 4 stars.

 

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica  is a psychological thriller about a nurse who gets overly involved in the life of a coma patient.

First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Harlequin Trade Publishing – Park Row and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

 

My Synopsis:    (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions)
Meghan Michaels is a single mom to a 16-year old daughter, Sienna.  She is also an ICU nurse.  She’s a busy woman, who tries to keep her work separate from her home life.

One day, a new patient arrives.  Caitlin is in a coma, after having jumped off a bridge, and landing twenty feet below.    This woman really haunts Meghan, as her sister Bethany died that same way. When a witness to the fall comes forward, it appears that Caitlin may have been pushed.

Meghan finds herself questioning the actions of the family, and wondering who the unexpected visitor to Caitlin’s bedside was.

Meanwhile, Meghan re-connects with a friend from high school who is going through a difficult divorce.  She is also very worried about a string of assaults in her neighbourhood.

 

My Opinions:
This book moved way too slowly.  As well, I didn’t really like Meghan.  She was much too nosy, all while “caring”.  I didn’t buy it.  Actually, I didn’t really like any of the characters.

This book is about lies and secrets, obsession and abuse.  The premise was so good, but I just didn’t like the directions it went.  That, and the repetitiveness — in particular the prologue later becomes an entire chapter.  And a lot of the medical details were explained a number of times (ie the insulin procedure).

However, around the 70% mark, there was a good twist…which was the saving grace for this book.  It would have been better if it hadn’t come so late in the book.

 Anyway, this one just didn’t hit home for me, although I won’t give up on this author.
