Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.
This book was a bit of a slow start for me but the drama really picks up in the end. The story follows a nurse who has a patient that jumped off a bridge. It becomes a mystery when an investigation begins on how it really happened and they question if she jumped or was pushed. There’s a lot of build up at the beginning so I did find it a little slow at first but about half way through I couldn’t put it down!
This was a solid thriller and I enjoy Mary’s writing, but it didn’t hit that wow factor for me! I am eager to see what she comes out with next.
I absolutely loved this book. You can’t go wrong with Mary! She always leaves you on your toes and wanting more!
Definitely a wild story! There were so many angles, I didn’t see the switch coming. I honestly thought I had it figured out and then another twist revealed! I was shocked! This was a great book! You never really know who is innocent and who is guilty!
3.5 based on the eARC.
An initial hold-tight start and draw-you-in, reminiscent of the Liam Neeson movie, Taken!
A big twist 3/4 way through, but sadly, I had figured it out pretty early - the reason for my lower rating.
There were some plot holes as well, and what I felt were inaccuracies of confidentiality/crossing boundaries with family conversations in the ER department with nurses/visitors so I did have to suspend some belief. it was written well enough that I felt like I was living in a big scam/scandal, throughout,
But despite that, this book has stuck with me since April (it's now October.) That's always a good sign.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing eARCs for our Thriller Book Club for early promotions!
Somewhat predictable but still some good twists!
The timeline was a little confusing - I assumed parts were flashback and parts were not, but it was a little hard to tell what was when. At the big reveal, it made sense but it made me want to reread it to fully grasp those switches.
Mary Kubica’s "She's Not Sorry" is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The intricate plot revolves around a woman who is forced to confront her past when secrets unravel, leading to a series of unexpected twists. Kubica expertly crafts her characters, making them both relatable and deeply flawed, which adds layers of complexity to the narrative.
The pacing is great and if this is your genre then I can safely recommend this book for you.
A great thriller that had me hooked until the very end. I enjoy books by this author and I look forward to more titles.
This book gave me chills in the best way possible. Kubica definitely does not ever disappoint in her storytelling. I can’t wait for her next read!!!
Ummm what. This was incredibly hard to read as an ARC. I know those aren't perfect, but it was still difficult.
I geberally love this author but found the various storylines here too disjointed and the twists were too predictable. Entertaining in a popcorn thriller sense but not my favorite by this author.
Scary in the best way. Love Kubica's twists and turns, I did not see any of it coming. Not in the slightest. Not at all.
I’m usually a big fan of Kubica’s thrillers but this one was confusing. The prologue hooked me and then right off the bat, chapter 1 confused me. I felt like the timeline was all over the place, and it’s hard to go into much detail without spoiling the main plot points. Speaking of- there were too many twists. I think if we focused on the main story and put more effort into that, the story would’ve had more substance. It was like the author was indecisive about what she wanted to happen so she kind of made all of it happen. If you haven’t read Kubica’s books, start elsewhere, because she’s written some great thrillers! THE GOOD GIRL, DON’T YOU CRY, and JUST THE NICEST COUPLE are a few of my favs!
Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing and Park Row Books for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse inexplicably drawn to a patient dealing with a traumatic brain injury after falling (or jumping, or being pushed) from a high bridge. There is a lot of mystery surrounding her accident, and her presence in general. Meghan's demanding work schedule and rocky relationship with her daughter are both wearing her patience thin and she's starting to wonder if she's imagining connections, or if she may actually be in danger. Mary Kubica is such a star when it comes to writing thrillers with unexpected twists. I read this book all at once-I absolutely could not put it down.

She’s Not Sorry
Mary Kubica
Thank you @htp_hive and @netgalley for the gifted copy to read and review.
This book gained a lot of hype around the time it was released. I sometimes am wary of books with a lot of hype because I don’t know if it’ll live up to it or not. However, I really did like this one! I binged read it in a day or so.
Meghan is a divorced single mother of her teenage daughter Sienna. Recently there has been a string of attacks on women in and around her area. This doesn’t help her anxiety for her and her daughter’s safety, especially with the hours she keeps as a NICU nurse.
This is a very clever storyline filled with twists and turns. Not to mention unreliable characters. I really wasn’t suspecting the big twist until right before it was revealed. Relationships will be tested that you didn’t see coming. I can’t elaborate too much for fear of spoiling one of the twists.
After reading this I will definitely be adding more of Mary’s backlog to my tbr!
Fast paced and packed with twists! The characters were fantastic, and I never knew where it was going. Yet another great one from Kubica.
Another good one from Kubica. This book was fast-paced and there was a good twist I didn't see coming, and there was a lot of tension that paid off.
Quick read and a good thriller that kept me turning pages. It definitely caught me off guard with the twist! I did not see that coming. Another great Mary Kubica read!
3.5 stars.

At a support group for divorce, she encounters an old high school acquaintance, Natalie, which ends up adding another layer of complexity to Meghan’s life. Caught between her responsibilities as a mother, her growing concern for Caitlin, and her desire to help Natalie, As she uncovers more about Caitlin’s past and the people around her, Meghan realizes that the threat could be closer to home than she ever imagined.
I need to read more of Mary Kubica's work asap! I really liked her writing style. The whole story was so engaging & I was interested from the beginning. Some parts did feel a little slow, like there wasn't much going on & then other parts felt like too much going on. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy, bingeable thriller.
