SHE’S NOT SORRY checked off all the things I love in a solid thriller. It was gripping, well-paced, and it had a handful of surprising twists, one that really threw me for a loop (I got got!).

This one centers around Meghan, an ICU nurse in Chicago. She finds herself assigned to a coma patient, Caitlin, who tried to take her life from jumping off a bridge. As Meghan tries to balance her work with being a single mom to her teenage daughter, she finds herself deeply entangled in Caitlin’s life and starts to feel more and more unsafe. And questions start to arise - did Caitlin jump or was she pushed? And if so, by who?

I loved that this thriller took place in Chicago and in neighborhoods that I’ve lived in or next to. It was fun to know the exact locations Kubica mentioned and the places she alluded to. The main character, Meghan, was well developed and I found myself empathizing with her, especially the parts where she had to walk home at night. At one point in the story, there was a LOT going on plot-wise, so much so that I didn’t understand how this was all going to tie together. But by the end, the story ramped up to an intense and page-flipping conclusion. I still had a few unanswered questions but like Kubica’s previous novel, Local Woman Missing, I found She’s Not Sorry to be a solid and entertaining thriller. [Pub date: April 2] 4/5

This is a slow-burn thriller that readers who love complex mysteries will enjoy. Meghan is a ICU nurse who is treating a comatose patient who had been the victim of a fall from a bridge. In addition to this storyline, there is the storyline of a man who is breaking into women's homes and raping them. There is a storyline about a former high school friend that re-enters Meghan's life and Megan tries to help her escape an abusive relationship. And then there is the storyline regarding Meghan's relationship with her 16-year-old daughter. These storylines do begin to interact with each other in the second half of the book, but for me, there was way too much going on. I know the rapist storyline was probably added to help add the suspense to the novel, but I think it would have been much better without it. It just made the story way too complex and watered down a great mystery.

The twists involving Meghan's patient were great, and I really enjoyed that storyline. I wish there hadn't been so much other stuff distracting from that.

you guys, today is a strong book release day and make sure to add She’s Not Sorry to your list because OMG this book is definitely one of my favorite thrillers of all time now!

If you’re looking for a twisty book that will make you keep guessing the whole time, definitely pick this one up!

Okay so we have our female lead, Meghan who is an ICU nurse. Her world turned upside down once a patient was brought to their ICU after surviving a suicide attempt. Aaaand that’s all I’m going to say. Oh and wait, there might also be a possible serial killer lurking around their city!

Definitely trigger warnings for suicide and domestic abuse so please be aware of it before reading.

As a healthcare worker, I loved reading the medical aspects of the book. And seriously shoutout to all the ICU nurses out there! You guys are amazing!

The buildup of paranoia in this book is next level! I feel like I’m in the book awaiting our main character’s each move!

Seriously, Ive read a bunch of thrillers at this point and this one definitely is something that reminded me of what a 5⭐️ thriller is!

You’ll never guess where this book will take you! It’s written so well and I’m 💯 sure thriller lovers out there will be adding this to their favorites!!

This book comes out today! Definitely grab a copy!!!

Thank you so much @htpbooks for sending me an early copy!!

💭 What are some thriller tropes that are difficult for you to read?
☕️ It’s hard for me to read anything about children or animals and anything that involves body horror.

Mary girl..you did it again! This was jam packed with twist and turns. Some i guessed and others had my jaw drop! This starts off a bit slow but when it takes off it doesn’t take its foot off the throttle. I was going to give it a 4 star bc of the over explanations of nursing policies and procedures. Idk if it made me roll my eyes bc I’m a nurse myself or bc i felt like i was being told and not just explored through the book.

Mary has done it again! I can never figure it out and I love how it gets my mind wandering and my blood pumping. Her writing is phenomenal and I love every book I’ve read of hers. Definitely one of my fave thriller authors. Check out this new one from her. You won’t guess a thing!

If you are looking for something to binge, obsess over or keep you in one spot for a few hours-look no further. Its no shocker I am a HUGE Kubica fan. She’s the QUEEN of thrillers in my opinion. Every single one of her books takes me by surprise and I love the unique differences.
This one was executed so well that I was shocked by the end! The twists kept coming, the major one completely caught me off guard. I do not want to say much about it and will remain vague on purpose for those who have not read it. Just know, once you start you won’t stop. This is probably my favorite of her books to date!

Thank you @netgalley for my advance copy!

Thanks so much to @htp_hive & @htpbooks for sending me an ARC of this beaut! What a twisty, clever thriller! This is my fourth book from Mary Kubica, I have also read The Good Girl, Pretty Baby and The Other Mrs. Her books never miss & never fail to keep me up at night both turning pages and scared of every little sound 😱😱

She’s Not Sorry begins with our protagonist, an ER Nurse named Meghan who arrives to work to one day to a woman in a coma. It looks like she has jumped from a pedestrian bridge to take her own life. In the coming weeks, as Meghan is caring for the patient, she speaks with her parents & becomes emotionally invested in Caitlin’s story. Dark things come to light and a witness who saw someone on the bridge with Caitlin that day…was she pushed?

I can’t go into more detail without spoilers but so much happens, you guys! It’s a wild ride full of terror! Kubica keeps you on the edge of your seat with Meghan constantly walking to and from the hospital in the dark. Is she being followed? I have to admit I thought I had this one all figured out and then Mary with her plot twists!

Go read this one immediately 😱🤯

She’s Not Sorry is my first Mary Kubica book and I have mixed feelings about it. The Prologue sucked me in right away but then the pace slowed way down. I kept reading because I was curious and the twist was an unexpected surprise. This book reminded me a lot of another big thriller that recently came out and I kept feeling like I’d already read this book before. She’s Not Sorry is a solid thriller and fans of Kubica will enjoy it.

“Being alone and lonely was better than feeling neglected and ignored.”

4.5 stars rounded up! Well Mary Kubica, that’s one way to draw the reader into the story in the first few pages. Holy hell!

I very much enjoyed this story, which I think you should go into as blind as you can to get the full effect. I will say I worked in a Neuro/Surgical ICU and this book is spot on. Spot. On. Especially for what happens in an intensive care unit when there is a patient with any type of crazy story. And also, as a Respiratory Therapist, THANK YOU for the accurate shout out. We appreciate it! But I digress..

The twists have twists in this one and I was sucked right in! And the end?! THAT is what I am looking for in a mystery. Yep. Nicely done.

PSA: “A code blue is not a gentle process. CPR is violent. It’s an assault. Bad things happen to patients in an often vain attempt to save lives. Of the people who go into cardiac arrest in the hospital, most don’t live and of those who do, many have a permanent neurologic disability and few live meaningful.” Accurate. 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Thank you to Netgalley, @htpbooks, and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I will be cross posting to Instagram, Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble

Haunting.

In 2022, I started reading Mary Kubica's works. I should've known that she'd become one of my favorite thriller authors. I had read two of her books before starting this one. I didn't think the twists in her books could get any more unexpected, but she astonished me again. I was excited to see that she was releasing a new book and requested it as soon as I saw it on NetGalley. I didn’t have time to read it right away, but once I did, I couldn’t get enough of the story, and the characters. There’s much more to say about the story, but I don’t want to give too much away.

The title:She’s Not Sorry makes you curious, even if you never read the book by the author; there is the mystery behind the title. Even though I adored Local Woman Missing, & Just the Nicest Couple , this was my favorite one. I initially found the story to be slow-moving at the beginning, but it quickly became fascinating and difficult to put down. Just when I believed I had figured out what happened and who was behind it, another twist made me reconsider everything. I’ve never read a book with so many surprising turns.

I liked Meghan, despite some of her decisions that I didn’t agree with. I loved the lengths that she would go, to protect her daughter. However, I wonder what Sienna would think of her mother if she knew the truth about what she had done. Caitlin, I liked her at first and wondered what made her jump. The feeling lasted until I discovered what Caitlin was truly like. I had so many questions about what happened. She’s Not Sorry is a book you won’t forget.

This story hasn’t left my mind. I would strongly recommend this book to any thriller fans. Be prepared for a exhilarating ride.

I flew through this fantastic psychological thriller and highly recommend it! I absolutely loved the prologue and all the twists!

She did not disappoint! I devoured this in one day! With so many moving parts, it is hard to sum this novel up. Meghan is working as a full time nurse as well as supporting her teenage daughter and figuring out life after divorce. New to Meghan's nurse duties is Caitlin, a young woman who jumped from a bridge and is now in critical condition in the ICU. Meghan has a history with suicide, and tries to avoid attending to the woman, but gets assigned and starts to build relationships with her family. Then the investigation leads detectives to think that maybe this was not a suicide attempt. The more time Meghan spends tending to the woman and her family, the more she gets sucked into the dangers that may end up linking them together.

This was such a fast paced thriller! I was not able to predict what was going to happen or how the various storylines would come together in the end. I think this one makes its way to the top of my list of reads so far this year!

Meghan is recently divorced from her husband Ben and is raising their daughter Sienna in a tiny apartment in an area where a man is going around attacking women. Meghan is a nurse that works late and constantly worrying about her daughter being home alone after school. Meghan stops after work to attend a divorce support group where she runs into an old friend from high school. But is this the person she remembers? She opens her heart and home to her but something feels off.

The twist in the book had my jaw drop! I absolutely loved this book. Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my arc!

This was fabulous binge read! I never felt the pace let up, which I LOVE in thrillers. Definitely kept me on my toes. Highly recommend!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, HTP Hive, and Park Row Books for the ARC of She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica. You have to love a book that leaves you wondering what will happen next until the very last page -- that is precisely what happens here! This is a binge-able book that will leave you wanting more again and again. There were several a-ha moments where everything came together, some twists that I called and others that I was floored by. This is a twisty, on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller and one that I definitely recommend! I loved the ARC so much that I ordered my own physical copy to add to my library; this is one I will reread (and lend to friends/make others read)!

Thank you to NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC of this book!

A suspense filled novel that got me out of my mystery/thriller slump!!
I had no idea that there were going to be so many twists. I really thought I knew where it was going to go and as soon as I was sure, there was a twist to throw me off course.

This is a really fun, exciting thriller! The author does a great job of keeping the pace moving and there are twists and turns throughout that really keep the reader engaged. There are quite a few storylines going at once and some were more interesting to me than others. That did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the book but it was something I was aware of while reading. I was racing to finish the story and I was surprised although not totally excited by the ending. I think I'm in the minority with that though! I do recommend this book and I am excited to read more by Mary Kubica in the future. Thank you to Mark Kubica, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row, and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I am a fan of Mary Kubica because she seems to nail the plot twists every time and She's Not Sorry is no exception. I flew through this book, barely putting it down. There were some things that I suspected, but the twist definitely took me a little off guard because of the way things were written, I didn't even put it together. However, after that reveal, the ending fell a little flat for me. Really enjoyed it regardless and will be recommending!

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review. The twists in this book were top notch, like we even get a huge twist like halfway through and you really don’t see it coming. It’s such a layered story, one that I so enjoyed reading!

Would recommend for fans of…

It’s been a minute since I’ve read a Mary Kubica novel, but I’ve been a longtime fan of the way she’s able to craft the perfect twist. And she 100% manages to keep her streak of jaw-dropping twists with her latest, She’s Not Sorry.

She’s Not Sorry follows Meghan, an ICU nurse caring for a patient, Caitlin, who is in a coma. Meghan is drawn closer to her Caitlin when a witness comes forward with shocking information about Caitlin’s fall from a bridge and from there things get wild.

It’s hard to talk about why I enjoyed this book without giving anything away (and seriously, this is a book you don’t want spoiled) but I will say that Kubica nails the pacing and plotting of the story. She drops little bombshells leading up the major “WHAT?!” moment and I had a hard time putting down the book because of this.

But, there were a couple of things that bumped this down to a 3-star read. First, there are a few different plot lines focused on Meghan’s work and family, and I tended to find the family storyline kind of boring and it felt like filler for a portion of the novel. I also wasn’t impressed with the ending, as I felt like it was a bit of let down after such a strong start.

Regardless, this is a great choice for anyone looking to get caught up in a thriller that is captivating, but not at all scary or gruesome. It’s a great book to discuss, and if you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

She’s Not Sorry is out now. Thanks to Park Row and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
