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.

Meghan Michaels, an ICU nurse and single mom, is trying to find her way after a recent divorce when she gets assigned to a patient named Caitlin who arrives to the hospital in a coma after jumping from a bridge and falling over 20 feet. It’s suspected that Caitlin purposely jumped, but soon, information comes out that makes the police think she was actually pushed. Meghan usually distances herself from the personal lives of her patients, but this time, she accidentally gets too close and knows more than she should. Now, she’s afraid that her and her daughter are in danger.

This is an incredible, twisty, fast paced thriller that I absolutely devoured. The twists throughout literally made me jaw drop and they just kept coming! There are a few different storylines going on and as I read, I wasn’t sure how they were all going to connect - but I was dying to find out and could not stop turning the pages. There are a lot of characters that pop up throughout, and I was constantly wondering who to trust. What a fun read!! I highly recommend this one to all thriller lovers.

Recommended read for thriller lovers. With a patient in a coma and an unknown reason if it was suicide or attempted murder. ICU nurse, Meghan has an invested interest in what has happened to Caitlin and trying to care for her daughter. Graphic content warning!

This is a slower burn from Mary Kubic about a nurse, Meghan, who gets involved with what happened to a patient of hers in the ICU. Caitlin arrives at the ICU seemingly having jumped from a bridge and is in a coma. But when a witness shares information that makes them question of Caitlin really jumped, dark secrets are revealed with huge twists at the end.

I did enjoy this one, but I’ve enjoyed some of Kubica’s more fast paced books more in the past. If you go in expecting a slow, creepy burn, you’ll probably enjoy this one!

Mary Kubica’s best one yet! This was a page turner from the start! There were several different twists that I never saw coming. I’m a sucker for a good ending where justice is served and this one definitely fits the bill.

I always enjoy Mary Kubica’s books and this was no exception. It kept me guessing throughout and I did not see the two main twists coming!

Meghan is an ICU nurse and single mom (divorced). Caitlin arrives in the ICU in a coma after jumping from a bridge. Meghan becomes invested in Caitlin’s life, her future etc. What really happened to Caitlin? There are multiple story lines and many questions the reader is trying to figure out. This book will have you caught in its pages as you try to solve the mysteries.

"She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica delivers a gripping and intricate narrative. When Caitlin Beckett lands in the ICU after leaping from a bridge, various nurses could care for her, but the family insists on nurse Meghan Michaels. As Meghan tends to Caitlin, she uncovers more about her past. Meanwhile, a series of attacks on solitary women adds tension to the narrative. Without revealing too much, the story's complexity keeps readers engaged, although some points may feel repetitive. Nevertheless, the resolution of multiple plot threads is satisfying, even if some outcomes are predictable. Overall, I found this novel highly enjoyable and worthy of recommendation, earning it a solid four-star rating.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book! I thought I had all the twists figured out, but I definitely did not come even close!! I enjoyed the book, it was a little slow at first and it was kind of all over the place at times, but I still enjoyed it! It was my first Mary Kubica book but it won’t be my last!!

I really enjoy this author’s books, and this book is a fun, quick read. I was shocked by one of the twists, but two aspects of the book felt unresolved to me. Wouldn’t the main character be concerned that her daughter would do 23 and Me? Also, how much did Ben know? Despite this, I enjoyed the book and am so grateful for the advanced copy.

A stellar prologue that draws you in and leaves you baffled, I simply needed to know immediately were this book was going.
In the first few chapters we learn of Caitlin who is in ICU for attempted suicide. Meghan our MC is the nurse looking after her. I immediately got the impression that Meghan relates to Caitlin in someway and boy was I surprised by the outcome of this book!
I did find that the book took a bit of a roundabout way to get to the point and some of the content felt unnecessarily drawn out, but it got there in the end. The plot was amazing, the ending felt a but abrupt. But after finishing I feel it did the job well enough.

Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

I am a huge Mary Kubica fan, so thank you Net Galley for allowing me this ARC!

The first 100 pages of this book I struggled through, it was a lot of character and story building. Once I got through that, it picked up and the story was very interesting! The plot twist at the end of part 1 had my jaw on the floor! I really enjoyed this read especially when the plot started thickening. 4/5 ⭐️


⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️




The ending left me with some questions and I am hoping there will be follow up so I can find out what Ben actually knows.

She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is a dark twisty tale. Caitlin Beckett is brought to the ICU after jumping from a bridge. Although different nurses could be assigned to her. The family feel a connection to nurse Meghan Michaels and want her to be their daughter's nurse. Meghan learns more about Caitlin as the days and months pass. During this time, there is a man attacking women who are alone at night. There are other happenings but I don't want to give too much away. There were some times when I felt the point was already made so was redundant but I suppose that's so those who missed it initially can remember it's importance to the story. Because there a few things going on at the same time, it was interesting how it was resolved and I felt some things were easy to guess...although maybe not entirely. I greatly enjoyed this novel and would recommend. 4 stars

LOVED this one! It had me captivated from start to finish. This was my first book by the author but I loved the themes and pacing. Would definitely recommend to any thriller lover!

This is a rare find! A book that I will absolutely tell anyone and everyone to go get it and read it now! This is a definite must read!

Holy moly! Where do I start with this heart pounding read? While I saw “Nat” not being who she claimed to be before that was revealed, I didn’t see the rest coming. I’m not sure if I just missed it but it was confusing to find the book was past and present tense until one of the big reveals. I did guess on who the guy attacking women was! Big clue in the book for that one! I’m not sure how I feel about what she did in the end. I liked that this book had a lot of twists and turns. This was my first book by Mary and it won’t be the last! Thank you NetGalley and Park Row for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I don't even know where to start! Wow, just WOW! It seems like a simple story, different characters and storylines and I kept wondering how or if they would all interconnect.....and then WHAM! Mary Kubica hits me with a shocker.....and then another, and then another and then another!!!! I had to set my Kindle down 3 times and walk the room to gather myself! I will talk about this book for years to come. It is absolutely AMAZING!!!! A must read for anyone who likes twists and turns when you least expect them.
