Another amazing read by Mary Kubica. Everytime I think I know what's going to happen next... I'm wrong. So excited that I was able to read her book early through NetGalley.

This has to be Mary Kubica's best book to date. It has a wonder clinically creepy setting. Meghan is working when Caitlyn shows up after jumping off a bridge in what appears to be a suicide attempt or was it? Meghan tries unsuccessfully to keep her distance but ends up getting roped into the patient's life after learning some disturbing information from the family. This book has two different stories going at once. It has a few nice surprises and all the twists you expect from this author.

This books pacing felt a bit too slow for a thriller/suspense, adding additional details about surroundings or character actions that weren't really necessary to the overall storyline. The writing style is still nice/easy to read. The story picked up at about 30% in for me, then I was hooked. I had my suspicions about who the killer was, but I didn't expect the twist and that definitely redeemed it!

⭐ 3.5/5

One of my favorite authors hits it out of the park again with a fantastic read that left you guessing all the way to the end.

This book was a slow burn that led to a WILD ride! I loved the build up of the store, the medical setting, and the characters.

There were so many twists and things happening in the story, that in the end it seemed a bit rushed through.. leaving questions unanswered for me.

I loved the twist with Caitlin, but did not love the second character twist of the story. I felt like that came a bit out of nowhere and did not add much to the overall story. I would have rather had a deeper look into the Caitlin drama.

Overall this was a super fast read and I would definitely recommend it to thriller fans!

Another fantastic read by Mary Kubica! This was so thrilling and fast-paced. I loved the plot and the characters. So many twists and turns!

This book will be published April 2, 2024!
Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

Oh, Mary Kubica does it again. This book was SO twisted in the very best ways. The plot (set in Chicago) held many layers and immediately drew me in--the sign of a good book and a great storyteller.

I rated this thriller a 5/5 stars. I read it in two days, it was fast paced and when I got to part two it really had me going. I thought I had Luke figured out and O kind of did but not fully. The twists were so good and unexpected. I love the wondering Mary Kubica leaves us with at the end and just the whole entanglement of all the characters.

Always love diving into a Mary Kubica book! She’s Not Sorry is a great twisty tale. Meghan is a nurse just trying to get through life. When a patient comes in after sustaining injuries in a fall, it’s business as usual. Until a witness implies she was pushed. Meghan can’t let it go, leading to danger for her and everyone in her life.

What the?! There are two major twists in this book. One I called right from the beginning, the other one I didn’t see coming whatsoever. I definitely think this will be a big hit this year.

The only downside is I did find it a bit slow, nothing really happened until 70% of the way through.

⭐4.5
I don't often read thrillers and this was the second one I picked up this month. The way this story was told was levels more incredible. The story retained my attention from the very first sentence to the last. This story has so many different mysteries that cleaned up so nicely and didn't really leave me with too many lingering questions or the feeling unsatisfied with the turnout.

WOW!! The twist and turns this books takes. I thought I had it figured out multiple times only to be shocked. Will definitely be recommending this books to friends.!!

Thank you Net Galley, Park Row Books and Mary Kubica for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of She's Not Sorry
I have read all of Mary Kubica's books and this is hands down my favorite. I love the references to my hometown, Chicago. Many great descriptions of neighborhoods, landmarks and winter weather. I have been to Guthrie's! This really made me feel like I was part of the story.
This is a fast paced, can't put down thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. There are many unreliable characters that keep you on your toes wondering who is telling the truth. The story line grabs you immediately from the first page until the last word. I was on the edge of my seat with all of the twists and turns. Many I did not see coming. This is a great book to binge read!

She's Not Sorry might be the best Mary Kubica book yet. The book had me believing each plot and twist was the outcome of the book. I truly could not put it down. If you are a fan of a book that keeps you guessing and has a great twist, this book is for you. Rating 4.7 stars.

MY REVIEW::
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my first Mary Kubica novel and I was skeptical through the first part of the book. The writing was great and the story was definitely intriguing, but I was waiting for a twist, and none was coming.
THEN BOOM , part 2 and all he'll breaks loose, everything you know from part one is shattered and you pretty much relearn the book but in a good way. So much happens you get whiplash and your psyche is like uhhhh what?!
I definitely thought I knew where the story was headed and who the main suspects were but I was completely wrong (I don't usually guess right anyways).

****I also want to say, I almost had to put this book down, because I became very emotionally attached to the fact of the one character being in a come and her the actions/conerns of her family surrounding her recovery. It reminded me alot of when I was in my coma from COVID, and it brought up alot of emotions from stories my mom and fiancé have told me. I'm glad I powered through because I felt like going in blind almost made me not give it a fair shake.****

I will definitely be checking out more of her work after reading this bad boy!

If you are looking for a slow burn thriller, this book is for you. The story follows Meghan, an ICU nurse and single mother. Mary Kubica creates tension during several mysteries happening at once. Are they connected? A man is attacking women in her neighborhood, Meghan is trying to help a former classmate who is possibly being abused, and her patient survived a suicide attempt. Are they connected? Once all the scenes are set this book was hard to put down and the twists just keep coming. I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish!

She's Not Sorry
Release date: April 2, 2024
* a single phone call brings an icu nurse into a miasma
of truths, lies, & secrets
* lacking suspense
* slow for a thriller
* long chapters
* multiple confusing story lines
* unlikeable & forgettable characters
* rushed ending
* not Kubica's best work

She's Not Sorry is a very fun thriller with twists that will have you gasping!
There's so much going on here but it all comes together so perfectly that, while this is my first Mary Kubica book, I'll be keeping my eye out for her in the future and I can't wait to go back and read her older books.

A twist even I didn’t see coming! This is my first Mary Kubiac novel and it won’t be my last. I have been eyeing one of her other novels for some time now and I need to jump into that one ASAP. Overall I loved the pacing it was exactly what I needed. I will say that first part was hard for me to read as I don’t really like books that speak of suicide but I knew from the beginning with the description that there would be talk of it. This will definitely be a book I reread in the future!

This book was pretty good. The beginning was kind of slow. The second half really took off! One of the twists I predicted pretty early on but there was one twist that I audibly gasped at I was shook! There were a few other twists that I wasn't expecting. The ending fell a little flat for me but it was still an enjoyable, overall good book.
