This book has many twists and turns. An amazing “who done it” page turner that kept my heart racing.

In this story we meet Meghan, a nurse in the ICU who is newly divorced. She lives with her 16 year old daughter Sienna, in a small apartment in a not so great neighborhood in Chicago. The other not so great thing is that someone is going around and violating women in the area. We also meet Caitlin, who is a patient of Meghans in the ICU. Caitlin is trapped in a coma and recovering from a self inflicted injury. She tried to kill herself by jumping off of a bridge at the train tracks. But later, police start to wonder if may be that wasn’t the case. They think she was pushed. Worst case scenario is if Caitlin wakes up and tells police what REALLY happened. Be careful who your friends are and be careful who you trust.

It's been a long time since I've read a twist that genuinely made my jaw drop. Well. It dropped.


Newly single mom and ICU nurse, Meghan, is trying to navigate through her life of juggling a teenage daughter and work. She's assigned the newest patient in the ICU, Caitlyn, who has survived a jump from a bridge, attempting suicide. As Meghan gets to know Caitlyn's family, things start to change from what they seem to be.

I loved how *almost* everything came together!
There were a couple of plot lines that felt unfinished or unnecessary. This was also a thriller where the author put a lot of details in the first half of the story, making it a little more dull.

Once I got through the 50% mark, it was so action packed and I couldn't put it down! I only guessed one of the twists, and even then, details were definitely surprising! This is definitely one of Mary's best books to date!

Thank you to Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Park Row for an eARC of this story! All opinions are my own!

SHE’S NOT SORRY Intrigued me right from the start and had me locked in for the whole story. The last 30% or so was pretty intense and there were multiple twists that I Did not see coming— somewhat jaw dropping ones, honestly. This was a wild ride and a really well crafted/executed thriller! I really liked this one— definitely recommend this as well as the author’s other book I’ve read (Local Woman Missing)

What a ride! This book was filled with twists and turns throughout the whole book. You didn't have to wait until the end for the twists - they were happening throughout the whole book! Definitely a top contender for my favorite Kubica book ever! I read this book in less than 24 hours because I could not stop and wanted to know what was going to happen next! There is one part I wish we found out answers to (but saying it would be a spoiler!) A definite read that everyone who is a thriller lover would enojy!

Wow. I was absolutely blown away by She’s Not Sorry! This was my first Mary Kubica novel, and I definitely get the hype. I received an early version of the book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The beginning was a bit slow and tedious to get into, but a few chapters in the pace picked up and I was hooked. We follow an ICU nurse named Meghan and her patients for the vast majority of the book, along with being introduced to her daughter and her ex-husband. We only see Meghan’s POV, but the development of the plot was WILD. I did not anticipate the big twist in this one, and it had me riveted.

It’s the perfect blend of thrill and suspense with no gore or over the top murder situations!

3.75 stars rounded up to 4.

This one was an overall good read which kept my attention throughout. There was a great sense of unease and tension which kept me turning the pages. There was one big twist - which I didn’t see coming - and a big reveal at the end which I had figured out earlier on. There were red herrings as well. I did find there were a few loose ends left hanging and the motivation for the actions of one of the characters could have been better developed. Overall, a quick, tense read.

Thanks to the publisher for this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

I will post on my book social media and on Amazon on publication day.

Thank you @htp_hive, @htpbooks, and @netgalley for my gifted copies!

You slayed this one, Mary Kubica. This book was fantastic. The ending of Part 1 completely blew me away. You toyed with my brain the entire time, and I loved every second of it.

I don't want to admit this, but I was so arrogant 100 pages in. I thought I had this whole book figured out - but I was dead wrong. Not only does the author drop multiple bombs, but everything unravels at such a fast pace that you feel a little whiplash. It was great 🤯😍
A lot of characters are introduced, but they're all important (minus one individual - I spent way too much time suspecting him, and he was in the book for 2 seconds). I suspected EVERYONE at some point. When you can't figure out whodunnit, you know you're sucked into a great thriller.

This is wildly entertaining! I highly recommend you all read it ASAP!

This book had me sucked in! There were two major twists - one I saw coming but one totally shocked me. I've read every Mary Kubica book and this one falls in the middle - didn't LOVE it but pretty good.

This book started slow for me, and then, about halfway through, ended up going in a very messy, unrealistic, direction. I've enjoyed Kubica's previous books, but this one felt rather sloppy. There were too many different plot lines that the author attempted to tie together neatly, and I don't think it was done very seamlessly.

Unsettling and unputdownable.

You will not be sorry if you read this!

Thanks Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row and NetGalley for the ARC!

Synopsis –

Meghan, an ICU nurse is recently divorced and is struggling to find work life balance. When a patient named Caitlin comes in with a coma due to traumatic brain injury having fallen off a bridge, Meghan is assigned as her nurse. Speculations begin about the reasons behind her fall and questions are raised if she was pushed. This will test Meghan’s ability to detach emotionally from her patients, as she finds herself completely entangled in Caitlin’s past, threatening her future.

Review –

Kubica has chosen a great premise for this thriller involving critical care nurses. It also shows she’s done a good amount of research about their psychology, the rippling effects of the pandemic and how it has affected the nurse community.

The pace during the first half is slow burn while Meghan’s life circumstances are introduced, while she gradually becomes Caitlin’s primary carer. We begin wondering how reliable she is and whom we should trust.

The atmosphere build up is tense, entrenched in a deep sense of foreboding. There is a side thread where the city is portrayed as unsafe, with a criminal on the loose attacking women. This further adds to the intensity with Meghan’s past slowly coming to light, the lies and the secrets she might be hiding peeking out.

By mid-way, the twists we patiently waited for finally arrive, blowing up everything we believed in our face. After this point, it gets hard to stop reading until the end.

Although the grand finale was predictable and slightly unrealistic, it didn’t hinder the overall thrill with few more surprises thrown in towards the end for good measure.

Do pick it up if you are a psychological thriller fan!

Meghan is a divorced ICU nurse living in Chicago with her daughter. One day, a patient arrives who is the talk of the ICU. Caitlyn was found in a crumpled mess below a pedestrian bridge. Rumor has it that she was attempting to commit suicide. As Meghan cares for Caitlyn and grows closer to her family, she finds out that the police start to speculate that Caitlyn was actually pushed. To top things off, there is a mystery man in the city who has been assaulting women - could he be responsible for Caitlyn's fall? In addition to her job in the ICU, Meghan is also contending with her moody ex-husband, her old friend from high school who is dealing with an abusive husband, and the drama of having a teenage daughter.

Wow - nothing is as it seems in She's Not Sorry! The author sets the reader up to be blindsided by the multiple twists revealed. There are some characters with some seriously juicy secrets. This was a super quick read that will keep you guessing! Mary Kubica is an auto-read author for me. I love her stories and her style!

I’m so glad I decided to give this book a try when I saw it available for advanced reading! It was so good! I truly had no idea what was going to happen next and Kubica kept me guessing until the very end. Honestly, I don’t even know if the ending has left things resolved for me or not either!!! The emotional roller coaster was intense! I definitely suggest this if you’re a fan of twisty thrillers!

She’s Not Sorry is the latest thriller by Mary Kubica. There’s a lot going on in this book. The main character, Meghan, is an ICU nurse, currently caring for a patient, Caitlin, who fell from a bridge. Did she jump or was she pushed?

Nat is an old high school friend of Meghan- newly returned to her life after a chance meeting at a support group. But there is something else going on with Nat- is she suffering at the hands of her husband?

While all this is going on, which seems like enough drama for poor Meghan, there is also a serial rapist lurking around the streets of Chicago, preying on women who are alone.

These threads all are resolved, but there were some lingering plot holes for me, especially regarding Caitlin’s family. Then first half of the book was kind of slow for me, but it picked up midway with a pretty big twist.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to the publisher, the author, and Netgalley.

There was a big twist 3/4 into the book that I didn’t see coming. However, there were a lot of plot holes left. A lot of characters that were important to the story were not mentioned again or just briefly in passing.

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is a fast-paced, twisty thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. I loved Local Woman Missing and I found this one to be just as great.

I had no idea what direction this story was going in because of the multiple different storylines happening, and the plot twists genuinely had me shocked. I basically read this in one sitting and I was dying to get to the end. I predicted one part which was a bit disappointing, but other than that this book is super enjoyable and the characters are well written. Definitely recommend this if you love the genre!

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing & NetGalley for the advanced copy.

This was a slow starting thriller for me. Part one dragged and felt repetitive with no aim. Part two held all the twists and turns you want in a good thriller. Meghan Michaels, an ICU nurse, becomes intertwined with her patient, Caitlin, a girl a jumped from a pedestrian bridge and is now in a coma. Some twists I saw coming and others were totally unexpected. Not the best thriller by Kubica, but the second half makes it worth reading.

Huge thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC.

This was my first Mary Kubica book and it certainly won’t be my last! This book had so many turns and twists that made my head spin continuously! I never anticipated the bridge “pusher” or the killer! You just have to read this book! I will definitely be reading more books by Mary Kubica!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse. She's divorced and struggling to balance work and taking care of her teenage daughter. As a nurse myself, Mary Kubica's depiction of working as a nurse in the ICU is very accurate. The way that Meghan cares for her patients while at the same time trying to keep them at arms length to maintain professionalism is a fine line that Kubica has balanced well.

Meghan's patient, Caitlin, is in the ICU after having jumped from a bridge and is now in a coma. As Meghan cares for Caitlin, she also forms a relationship with Meghan's family. Through this, she begins to learn things from Caitlin's past, leading the reader to question what really happed to Caitlin.

I found parts of the story to be disjointed as I was reading so it lost my interest at certain points. But it all comes together in the end in a plot twist I did not see coming. So I would recommend reading this and sticking with it to the end!

A huge thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Wow this book!! I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t stop thinking about it. The twists had me in absolute shock. I read this in less than 24 hours. It was the perfect pace and I’m still in shock over the end. 5 stars!

3.5/5 ⭐
Meghan is an ICU nurse and one day, a patient comes in who seemingly jumped off a bridge. However, there might be more to the story than that. Meghan finds herself drawn into the patient's story, but she might end up being a target herself.

This was one was quite slow for me until about 60% through. It definitely picked up a lot from there and had some good twists. However, I think that first half basically could have been condensed a lot more. Like, I think this could have been a novella. Good twists at the end, but just a little too slow for me before that.
