She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica

-

 

Meghan is a single parent. She works as a full time nurse. Being a full time care giver and also being as present and involved as possible in her daughter's life. 

One day, a patient named Caitlin arrives at the hospital in a state of coma and multiple injuries. It is surprising that she was even alive. She had supposedly jumped off the bridge onto the train tracks. Did she jump off or was she pushed?

Someone has been constantly wanting to meet her but Caitlin's parents had strict restriction from anybody meeting her. Meghan notices this person and over the course of the story comes to know of some horrifying details about Caitlin and the accident. 

On the other side of Meghan's life, many things are not going the way she would have liked to. Her recently divorced husband Ben has been visiting her to ignite old sparks. Then there is her teenage daughter who is behaving brashly after receiving some information that she should not have been privy to. Will this information add the avoidable fuel to the fire? During this time, Meghan also bumps into a school friend Natalie who was going through domestic abuse. Meghan tries to help her out but soon she comes to know of her true colours. And there is Luke, Meghan's close friend and colleague, who has been in the radar of the police for some nefarious activities.  

With so much going on, is Meghan able to keep her head on her shoulders? You will doubt every character and everyone seems to be responsible for something going wrong. 

I found the first part of the book a little dragging. I kept wondering where the story was going until things dawned on me. Im not sorry that She's Not Sorry! But, I did some shivers down my spine as I recognized traits that resembled mine and I didn't like them much - I have the tendency to over help sometimes and maybe that is not as good as it seems to be. Listen to this book, narrated by Andi Arndt as you get along the week.

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden

Dating apps. Marriage sites. Online data about people you are free to meet. As much as I want to be liberal in my thoughts and open minded, I somehow don't like the sound of these sites that host people to further their relationships. Most often than not, you bump into someone who will change your life forever. For good or for bad! The story is cleverly divided between a Before and Now timeline. The Before timeline talks of youngsters Tom and Daisy who were high school sweethearts. Tom comes from a fragile and volatile family background. His father often beats up his mother. Daisy's best friend does not want Tom to be close to Daisy; she does not trust him one bit. What has Tom done that is so bad? Or does he have bad company who do bad things? In the Now timeline, there is Sydney , just another person, on the look out for a date/life partner. The people she is currently meeting on the dating app are pathetic. She meets a certain Kevin online and after one date,   Sydney realiz...

I picked this semi-epistolary book, because it is a great form of writing. I love such books. But, I didn't know this book was going to be sad too. The sadness did not force tears out of me, but it stunned me to silence. Call it a stoicism of sorts. Ella is a young single parent to twins - Maisie and Colt. Having been dumped in life one too many times, she has lost the trust factor in relationships. She runs a beautiful bed and breakfast sort of space in a small town. Life is slow, predictable and okay.  Her brother, Ryan is in the army and deployed in some unknown location. 'Chaos', Ryan's best mate, had no home or family. He did not know what it meant to have loved ones wait for you. He was all that you imagine of a hero - drop dead gorgeous, patient, kind and duty driven. Ryan  encourages Chaos and his sister to exchange letters - who does not like to read mail when you are sitting in some bunker awaiting death or enemy? So that starts a beautiful friendship. As time...

  Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. - William Congreve Now this is what I call a "psychological" thriller. I am so glad I chose this book from NetGalley to read and review. I will definitely be reading more of this author. This wonderful story is about two women - Olivia and Shelly. Typical of perspective of a person who seems to have lost everything, will find another person having everything they needed and deserved in life. Olivia believed with a vengeance that Shelly had murdered her brother when they were just teens. This memory was locked in the deep recesses of her heart until the day she bumped into Shelly. She now has to take her revenge and close this matter once and for all.  On tracking Shelly, Olivia finds out that she has been visiting this therapy group. She scoffs at this information that someone like Shelly, who has it all - a job, a great marriage, good looking husband, gorgeous little baby - should be visit...
