T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
In She's Not Sorry, Mary Kubica's latest addition to new domestic thrillers, readers are ensnared in a web of chilling secrets and creeping dread.
The novel opens with Meghan Michaels, a single mother and dutiful ICU nurse, whose world tilts on its axis when Caitlin, a patient with a severe head injury, is brought into the hospital.
The rumor? She leaped from a bridge in a desperate act of self-destruction. What could have gone so terribly wrong in this girl's life? But as answers come forward, whispers of foul play emerge along with dark secrets, casting an even darker sinister shadow over what at first seemed to be solely a tragic waste of life at her own hands.
As Meghan draws closer to Caitlin, she unwittingly weaves herself and her teenage daughter into a tapestry of menacing schemes that intersect tighter and tighter as the suspense builds.
Kubica masterfully crafts a narrative that pivots on the fine line between trust and fear, making She's Not Sorry a good domestic thriller that may be just what you are looking for, as it stands out in the crowded field of new domestic thrillers.... ✨😎✨

PUBLISHER BOOK SYNOPSIS
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone has remorse…
A terrible accident.
Meghan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom and working full time as an ICU nurse, when a patient named Caitlin arrives in her ward with a traumatic brain injury. They say she jumped from a bridge and plunged over twenty feet to the train tracks below.
A shocking revelation.
When a witness comes forward with new details about Caitlin’s fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin actually pushed and if so, by whom and why?
No one is safe.
Meghan lets herself get close to Caitlin until she’s deeply entangled in the mystery surrounding her. Only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims...
BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION
The power of secrets
One of the biggest themes in She's Not Sorry is the impact of keeping and hiding secrets, both on an individual and on a community as a whole. Throughout the book, we see how withholding information can have devastating consequences and lead to unexpected twists and turns.
Reflect on the importance of honesty and transparency in relationships, and the consequences of secrets doing more harm than good.
The danger of assumptions
As the reader, we follow Meghan's perspective throughout the book and are privy to her assumptions about Caitlin and the events surrounding her fall. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that these assumptions were not entirely accurate.
How easy it is to make assumptions about others without fully understanding their experiences and motivations.
The strength of motherhood
She's Not Sorry also highlights the fierce protectiveness and unwavering love that comes with being a mother. Meghan's devotion to her daughter is a driving force throughout the book, even as she faces danger and uncertainty.
The incredible strength and resilience that mothers possess, even in the face of adversity, and what choices that can lead to when under extreme circumstances.
