Meghan is a recently divorced ICU nurse and Mom to 16 year old typical sassy teenager, Sienna . They've recently moved to a new apartment and neighborhood and she reconnects with a high school friend at a divorce support group. She finds herself trying her best to help Nat get out of an abusive relationship while also juggling her moody daughter and caring for a new patient who jumped from a bridge but maybe was pushed? She tries not to get involved with her patients but can't help but wonder what happened. She is also increasingly on edge as women are being attacked in their homes in her new neighborhood especially with Sienna going home by herself after school. Weird things start happening in her building and she feels at times someone is following her and starts to feel like she and Sienna are both in danger.

Picked this up and didn't put it down until I had finished and found out what happened - it has more twists than a Pretzel! Just like I like my Thrillers!

I’m not sure where I sit with this one! I’ve seen 2 ⭐️ reviews and I’ve seen 5 ⭐️ reviews. I was hooked from the start, but then the pacing slowly fell short for me. Around 60/70% in I was wholly invested, though, and didn’t want to put it down.

I thought the twists were well done as I didn’t see them coming. I enjoyed the plot line, as well as the switching settings. Certainly there were a few threads left loose and a few plot holes, which accounts for the lower rating from me.

Overall I recommend it, but it’s not my top read of hers.

This book seemed to drag a little in the beginning but man did it pick up. the plot twist caught me by total surprise.

What a whirlwind!!
Mary sure did keep us entertained with She’s Not Sorry!
So many twists!
As a nurse myself, I appreciated the way she explained the medical jargon in the book! Made it more relatable and easy to follow!
I wish we got more or less about Luke, as it did feel like an unfinished story!
Overall I really liked it and gave it a 3.75!

My all time favorite book is by Kubica and I always have high hopes for all of her books but more often than not I get let down. Like this story, it was good but it wasn’t great. The first few twists were super easy to figure out and I called it from super early on, however the last twist definitely caught me off guard. I’d say the last 20% of this story was actually really good but before that the story had 3 issues going on but I just couldn’t really care about those stories or the characters. The patients story didn’t really pick up or get interesting until the father started talking to the nurse, and the random lady from her past coming up out of nowhere felt so planted it wasn’t even funny.

I’d say if you’re newer to the thriller/mystery/suspense genre then you’ll probably really like this. But for me it was just okay, or maybe it just wasn’t for me, but I would recommend others to read it because it could be more of what they’re looking for.

Guys, this was unfortunately another thriller miss for me.

rating: 3 STARS
genre: suspense, mystery
format: audiobook + digital

It's hard to write WHAT didn't work for me without giving away the plot - so I will just say, something in the twists and turns of Megan's narrative didn't sit right with me. But I know I'm in the minority on this opinion - so take it with a grain of salt!

I will say, if you can FULLY suspend your disbelief, then you will ABSOLUTELY enjoy this one.
The twist made me gasp out loud and question my sanity, so there's that!

This was a great thriller with a lot of twists I didn’t see coming. The only thing I’m not a fan of is some of the questionable choices that characters made, but those are the things that make the book what it is. I recommend to people who enjoy twisty thrillers. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC.

This book has all the markings of a gripping page-turner that kept me glued to my seat. Following the story of Meghan Michaels, an ICU nurse and single mom, I was immediately drawn into the intense atmosphere of the hospital and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her patient, Caitlin, who suffered a traumatic fall.

Meghan's attempt to maintain emotional distance quickly crumbles as she becomes intertwined in Caitlin's complicated and perilous world. Each chapter peeled back layers of secrets and lies, making me suspect everyone and trust no one. Kubica brilliantly spins a web of deception that had my mind racing and heart thumping non-stop.

What truly set this book apart for me was its exploration of deeper themes like guilt and redemption. Meghan’s internal struggles added a rich layer to the mystery, making her more relatable and her predicaments more heart-wrenching.

Though I adored the relentless suspense and clever plot twists, a few loose ends and rapid-fire revelations kept me from giving it a perfect score. Nonetheless, "She's Not Sorry" is a solid 4 out of 5 stars for me. Definitely a must-read for thriller enthusiasts looking for a mind-blowing adventure!

She's Not Sorry, by Mary Kubica, was both riveting and disappointing. The plot has more twists and turns than can be easily imagined. It moves at breathtaking speed. But, I found the order of events difficult to follow. Frankly, after a couple of crucial "reveals" the first half of the book no longer made sense to me. I admit that there is a fair amount going on in my life, and it is entirely possible that the problem is mine rather than the plot's. Nonetheless, I hope I have a chance to reread this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Park Row for allowing me to read a digital ARC.

This book was all over the place. Was it domestic violence or a con? What happened to the $10000? I’m still wondering if it was Sienna and her boyfriend who did it. Caitlyn was so evil & I mostly thought she got what she deserved. I didn’t prefer Meghan and thought maybe she was an unreliable narrator. I did enjoy the revelation of how Caitlyn went over the bridge & the revelation of who was attacking women in the city.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Books/Park Row Books for a copy of this book. I did enjoy it.

3.75 for this twisted thriller! It was one that had me questioning if I had missed something, which was great once the big twist was revealed...very clever. The eery medical setting was new for me, I really enjoyed that. Parts of it had me feeling Dr. Death style vibes.

There were a few side storylines that felt disjointed and unfinished, and one of the creeps was too easy to spot from the start, which is what kept me from rating it a little bit higher, but overall it kept my attention and had a big gotcha moment which i appreciated!

She's Not Sorry is a psychological thriller that follows a nurse caring for her victim. With multiple plot lines, this one keeps you guessing as to who the real villian may be. I gave this story a three-star rating because I enjoyed it, but wouldn't recommend it to a friend or read it again.

This was so good! I always love Mary Kubicas writing, this book had my heart racing. I loved that the MC was an ICU nurse and most of the medical terminology was pretty good! I didn't see the twists coming and they were jaw dropping. Absolutely recommend!

Thank you netgalley for the earc in exchange for an honest review.

A gripping, thriller that hooks you within the first chapter. It will have you asking yourself, who can you trust? This book is a page turner until the last page.

Another great mystery/thriller from Mary Kubica. This one was quite the ride with all its twists and turns. I do like this author's writing style, she definitely kept me turning the pages. If you are a lover of this genre and are watchful of small details in a story (there is a lot going on), then this book is for you.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the digital ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was my first book by Mary Kubica, and I was so excited for this opportunity. This book did not disappoint! The pacing in the beginning of the book was slower but not in a bad way. It pulled you into each of the characters, and when the paced picked up you found yourself caught up in each aspect. I loved the nursing perspective in this story, and it was definitely something that could happen. What makes a thriller good to me, is when there's a twist so shocking I didn't see it coming. You get exactly that with this story. My jaw literally unhinged with the twist.

I highly recommend this book!

Thank you so much @ParkRowBooks for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review (Release Date | 02 April 2024)

SYNOPSIS | Meghan is an ICU nurse and a single mom to her 16-year-old daughter. At work she is caring for a woman (Caitlin) who is in a coma after attempting to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge whilst at home she is trying to help an old school friend who may be in an abusive relationship.

WHAT I LIKED:
- tension and suspense scattered throughout the story which makes it very bingeable
- a whole host of unlikeable characters so you're not sure who to trust

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
- slow pacing until the 70% mark (it took a while to feel sucked into the story)
- multiple plotlines introduced within the span of a few chapters
- after the big twist was revealed a lot of plot points felt way too convenient
- a lot of side plot elements are left as loose ends
- too much page time dedicated to Meghan walking around Chicago at night naming landmarks

I was too excited when we received an eARC for this thriller as part of the @thrillersbythebook.mke book club group! I absolutely love Mary Kubica's books and wanted to dig in to this one right away. But I also don't have the best memory... so I forced myself to wait until book club month. It was torture!

BUT HERE WE ARE, it is book club month and I finished She's Not Sorry in three sittings! I was both shocked and not all shocked. What do I mean? This book is fully of shocking twists and turns (I yelled, "OH SNAP!" at one point haha) but it is absolutely NO SURPRISE that the queen, Mary Kubica, wrote another jaw dropping, cuckoo crazy, wild ride of a novel.

I have a few of her older books left on my backlog and I am so excited to dig into all of them!

The newest Mary Kubica was at the top of my TBR as I always love her thrillers. This one felt different from her past books and I'm not sure how I feel about that. It was a very slow burn until the last third which was super action packed. It had a few predictable twists and one that blew my mind. I really liked the main character Meghan and her persistence to care for her daughter Sienna as a single mom but she made some questionable choices throughout the book where I wanted to yell "REALLY?!?!?". This will definitely be a fun one to discuss with PM Reads later this month!

I've read quite a few other titles by Mary Kubica, and she's probably one of the lesser known suspense/thriller authors that I recommend to people the most, but this one just didn't hit for me. I needed our villain to have more motivation for her unhinged behavior, and I needed our "heroine" to be more likeable. In the end, this one just didn't pack enough of an emotional punch for me. Fingers crossed for a return to form with her next title!
