Whoa! What a page-turner! I felt so tense and unsettled throughout this book. It was layered, riveting, surprising and unhinged! My head is still spinning from all the twists (I audibly gasped multiple times!!) and I’m not quite sure yet how I feel about the ending. It’s definitely worth a read if you enjoy dark, twisty thrillers!

3.5⭐️
So I did really enjoy this one! I like Kubica's writing style and I think she has a way of putting some good twists in her books. Unfortunately with this one I was able to guess every twist before it happened :( Which did take away the surprise factor of this one for me.
I do however still recommend this one & I think it's a great thriller for my thriller fans!

WOW! This one is fast paced. You will not be able to put it down. So many twists and turns, and an ending you don't see coming. Mary Kubica never disappoints.

I just did not like this one at all. The first part is slow and meandering. Part two throws back to the prologue which you think is going to be a really gripping scene in which a woman finds out her daughter is missing and that turns out is just the biggest disappointment .I can’t figure out the timeline and how the victim in the bed is the same person that was her friend from high school and….it’s… this book is a mess, to me.

This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting for something huge to happen. Something I didn’t see coming.
But honestly it fell flat. I felt like it was all really predictable.
Don’t get me wrong it was a good read for what it was. The character development and plot was well played out, but the overall suspense of it all fell flat.

Okay, wow!! I did not at all expect that twist right before part one ended. The way she wrote it too made sure we wouldn't be thinking of that. There were just so many things that happened and I don't even know how to comprehend everything. The only part where this book fell short for me was the ending. I feel like that ending was very abrupt in a way and I don't know what to think. But man, I need to read more of her books forreal.

Wow! I binged this book. From the first chapter, I couldn’t put it down. Meghan is a nurse for critical care patients when she has to care for a woman that jumped off a bridge. The whole story had me engrossed and it was so hard to put down. Definitely 5 star! Thanks for the advanced copy

I loved this book! It's one of those books that will take you on a wild ride. The story follows an ICU nurse who becomes a little too involved with a patient she is caring for. I won't say anything more about the plot because I think it's best to go into it blind. I was able to guess one of the twists, but the other twist had me spiraling! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is into psychological thrillers. Here is my review for 'She's Not Sorry' by Mary Kubica.

4.6⭐️ 🎧📕
The pages are dripping with paranoia, and I love it!
😱 The book opens in suspense, with the MC (Megan) receiving a cryptic call about her daughter being held for ransom. Then it backs up a bit and engages the MC in a couple of unrelated stories - one nursing a victim of attempted suicide back to health, and the other helping an old high school friend through an abusive relationship, until it builds back up to the ransom timeline.
🫣 Due to the nature of the secrets that immediately surround her at almost every turn, the MC carries a heightened sense of paranoia and it’s hard to know what is coincidence, trickery of the human mind, or someone actually following her. Suspense!!
👀 The author really paints a great picture on how women’s lives are shaped with pre-cautions. Always having to be aware of our surroundings when walking alone, at night, going down into a dark cellar, etc. Hits close to home.
🌪️ Strap your seatbelts on for Part 2, because things really get flipped upside down. Twist after jaw-dropping twist. I was all over the place with suspects. I was right, I was wrong, I was right again, but still wrong 😂 I may have gotten a little whiplash, it was a little far fetched for all of the things to happen, but it sure kept me on my toes down to the last chapter.
✍🏼 This is my first book by the author, although I’ve come across her work multiple times. I was pleasantly surprised and already have a few more queued up TBR.
Thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Mary Kubica for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review!

✨ Have you ever told someone a secret and then regretted it?✨
So many great thrilling reads lately!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@marykubica nailed it again in this thrilling story!
Thank you so much @htpbooks and @netgalley for this arc read! I seriously loved it so much! She's not sorry was published on April 2,2024 so go add it to your TBR!
There were moments in the book that I felt like I had it all figured out but then another twist would happen. These are my favorite thrillers. Ones where you may have figured out part of the story but not all. I think it’s best that y’all go into this blind but it is worth the thrilling ride. I can promise you that!
A terrible accident.
A shocking revelation.
No one is safe.
“I realize I may never know how much he knows…”

I think this was very slow at the beginning, but got very fast paced for the last 30%. There was almost too much going on at the end though and felt a little rushed through, but enjoyed it still!
Thank you for this arc

What a suspenseful thriller with several shocking twists! The ending left me wishing for more.
Well written and researched plot that has a slow easy pace that kept me engaged from the beginning. I found parts of the story predictable but overall the book was a fantastic page turner.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

WoW! I can't remember the last time a book sucked me in so deep that I had to read it in one sitting! The twists were unpredictable and had me guessing till the end when my jaw dropped.
The story starts out innocent enough, a single mom working in ICU taking care of a patient who suffered a horrendous injury with a back story of a man terrorizing and stalking women in her city.
Then the twists of the story come out, getting deeper and deeper needing to know how this ends!

I was excited to read this one, as a nurse myself as well as loving Local Woman Missing. Overall I did really enjoy it, the twist was great and definitely not what I had predicted but the first 30 or so percent was quite boring. I found the descriptions to be over the top (I do not need to know every street she walked down) and repetitive. Meghan was also the most paranoid yet reckless main characters I’ve read. I wish the author wouldn’t have wasted the beginning and rushed the end.
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this eARC.

Even though this started out a little slow, I was still fully invested in it right away and didn’t want to put it down.
There’s a lot going on, but I found it easy to follow along with. Kubica does a great job weaving all the story lines together. While I did find some parts predictable, there were still some twists that I definitely didn’t see coming.
Highly recommend!
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the eARC!

Things I liked:
-Super bingeable, I read this straight through in one day!
-Twisty and great pacing!
-I didn't see some of the turns coming
-I love when storylines within a story!
I do wish that we would've gotten closure on some of the side plots that were introduced but weren't explored. I much prefer all loose ends to be tied up in a thriller!

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is an absolutely wild ride. I read and listened to this one, and when I got to the twist, I almost stopped my car. It was definitely a “Wait, what?!” moment. I love when I don’t see the big twist coming.
Check for trigger warnings with this one.
Meghan is a nurse in a Chicago hospital. She is a single Mom - divorced - raising her teenage daughter Sienna. Her main focus at work when the story starts is her patient Caitlin. She takes a very close interest in Caitlin and her family. Soon, things seem off with the Becketts, and Meghan has a lot of questions.
Meghan has also started spending time with an old high school friend - Nat - that she recently ran into. Nat needs help, and Meghan really wants to be supportive of her friend.
There are so many small twists and turns in this book that your head will spin. It is definitely a slow burn mystery/thriller. The author dangles clues here and there - blink and you may miss them! Everything comes together in the end, but I don’t want to spoil the journey. This is a truly great read.
Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Park Row Books for the opportunity to read this fantastic book! I also recommend the audiobook version - it has a terrific narrator. Also, this book has a terrific cover! I highly recommend this one - it is out now!

I’m still new to the genre for the most part, but I had fun trying to *figure it out*. Obviously I just suspected every person (and well, everyone acts a bit sus), and I probably overanalyzed a lot 😂 But the twists were twisting! As someone who worked in healthcare, I liked the hospital setting- our main character is an ICU nurse. The story kept me guessing and I had a good time.
3.75-4⭐️

First, I would like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Park Row for the digital ebook ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This thriller with so many surprises will keep you hooked all the way through the book. Meagan Michael's is a single mom with a daughter. She is also an ICU nurse working long hours. Meagan's world is turned upside down and twisted all over the place after a patient is brought into the ICU having jumped from a bridge. Caitlyn has many serious injuries and is in a coma. Meagan gets entangled in Caitlyn's life because of her frightening past, along with a couple of other people Meagan is close to.
Slowly, all the tangled up stories of these connected characters are revealed and many with shock you. Is her ex involved? Is her daughter in danger? How is her male nurse friend involved? Who is the man that comes and looks through the window at Caitlyn? So many things to figure out.
The characters are believable but also unreliable.. My favorite character would be Meagan's daughter, Sienna, who as is innocent as anyone can possibly be, but ends up a pawn for more that one character in the book.

I have read a few books by Mary Kubica and really enjoyed them all so I was very excited to receive this advanced e copy. Meghan is a single mom who is working as a nurse. One night a young woman is brought into the ICU where Meghan works with severe injuries from a suicide attempt. This triggers difficult memories for Meghan from her past. As Meghan is assigned and caring for this patient in critical condition, there is a man going around her neighborhood at night and assaulting women. There were a few different plot lines happening here and I definitely did not figure any of them out, but towards the end it did almost feel like enough is enough. How much more can this poor woman handle?!
