Wow, this was a wild roller-coaster ride without a doubt! It was a definite binge-read thriller with all the amazing twists and the fast pace kept me completely hooked. Just when I thought the plot was going one way, there would be a sudden about-turn trashing all my guesses. There were only a bunch of characters and oh boy, each of them would be hiding something making them a suspect. I did find there wasn't closure about some characters but frankly I did not care. I strongly recommend it and it has been sometime since I have truly enjoyed reading a thriller!

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse and a single mom raising a sixteen year old daughter named Sienna. When she goes to work one day, she's caught off guard by a TBI patient named Caitlin, that's recently come out of surgery. She's told that she jumped from a bridge, but later police discover she may have been pushed. As her nurse, Meghan becomes too involved with Caitlin's family even when she knows she shouldn't. When things begin to take a turn, she soon realizes that maybe she put Sienna's life and her own life at risk.

SHE'S NOT SORRY, was so good! I'm a huge fan of Mary Kubica. I have read all of her books and this one is so different from her others. First, I loved the medical aspect of this one. I know she put in the time researching details. I also liked that it was broken up into two parts. I would say, pay very close attention to the beginning of the story. I was totally caught off guard by the discovery of what really was happening by the time I got to part two. The ending left me speechless and with pondering thoughts. I will happily give all the stars to this brilliant novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley and HTP for my gifted copy.

Another winner from Mary Kubica! I have been reading her books since 2015 and I look forward to each release. I think Mary’s readers will enjoy this one!

Short synopsis: Meghan Michaels is an ER nurse and recently divorced mother whose life quickly changes when a new patient is brought to the hospital in a coma after suffering from a TBI. Meghan has always done a great job staying out of her patient’s personal lives up until now.

Thoughts: This was a quick and fun read that differs from Kubica’s previous books. There were two different stories unraveling at once, and while I guessed some of the twists early on, there were still some surprises at the end. I always love when thrillers take place in a medical setting and this was no exception. There were also a lot of scenes that took place late at night on the streets of Chicago, which were creepy! However, there were some plot holes in the story that if this was occurring in real life, I don’t think some characters would have got away with what she did. If you turn a blind eye to that and just enjoy, it’ll be worth it… however I am over here still contemplating.

What to expect:
-Domestic suspense
-Serial killer storyline
-ER nurse
-Complicated mother/ daughter relationships
-Chicago setting

Thank you HTP for the ARC! Pub date 4/2/24
