I truly enjoyed this one! Looking for that plot twist that you didn’t see coming, and an ending that could go either way?  This one is for you.
 
Meet Meghan Michaels, an experienced ICU nurse, recently divorced and raising her 16-year-old daughter, Sienna. Meghan and Ben, her ex-husband, share custody of Sienna. When Meghan goes to work, she is assigned to take care of a suicide patient who recently jumped off a bridge, landing twenty feet below on the train wrecks.
 
The patient's name is Caitlin, and she's in a critical condition and she may not survive. As Caitlin lays in her coma state, the hospital has not been able to contact next of kin for her. Caitlin has become the talk of the entire hospital, and Meghan is hesitant to be assigned to this patient because of her own tragic past related to her sisters suicide. However, Meghan finds herself drawn into Caitlin's life, forming a bond with her family members, who share their daughter's secrets, startling Meghan as Caitlin might escape from her dark past and insisting she's seen a struggle between a suspicious man and Caitlin, which leads the officers to presume she was pushed. Meghan also notices a suspicious man lurking around Caitlin's room outside of visiting hours.
 
This is not the only problem that has been on Meghan’s mind. There has been someone women throughout the city. Meghan walks home from the train, and her young daughter is often home alone.  When Meghan is entering a meeting for her divorcees support group, she runs into an old high school friend. Natalie, Nat, is seeking support with her current separation from an abusive husband.  Meghan, with her caretaking way, wants to be there for Nat.  Is Nat who she says she really is, or is Meghan being scammed?
 
This plot twist, I did not see coming. The author had me so invested in Meghan that I was blindsided. I enjoyed the entire book, and I felt it was well written.  I have read many books by Mary Kubica and this one is headed to the top.

I liked this book. A bit confusing at times until the realization hits the reader.

Holy cow! Did NOT see those twists coming! The Barnes & Noble edition has an extra chapter that just adds to the awesomeness that is this book.

She’s Not Sorry was a pretty gripping read once it got going. The pacing picks up after the first third, and it stays tense and twisty from there. The narrator felt believable at first, but her judgment got cloudier as the story went on, which made her harder to trust. A lot of things are left open-ended, and while that added to the eerie vibe, I would’ve liked a bit more clarity. Still, it kept me guessing, and I didn’t find it predictable. I’d recommend it to thriller readers who like messy characters and stories that aren’t too neatly wrapped up.
