I love almost ALL of Mary Kubica’s Thrillers and I’m proud to say that I live in the same town as her! I was so excited to get the chance to read this one and it did not disappoint! 4 stars!

This book was so demented, and I absolutely loved that journey for me. It felt like a fast slow burn with the way everything was revealed. A lot didn’t happen from chapter to chapter, but the ending really tied it all up nicely and made me wonder what the heck I just read. I loved everything about it.

Thank you so much to Harquelin Trade Publishing for a copy of this book! .

"We can only know so much about the people in our lives."

This is my 2nd Mary Kubica book that I have read and just like with Local Missing Woman, this book kept me on edge and wanting for more. I found myself wanting to keep reading because I was not sure what was happening to Meghan. I was questioning a lot of things that was happening in Meghan's brain in the sense of she just couldn't stop herself and was putting herself in sticky situations. She was so wrapped up in the lives of other people that things just kept snowballing. I did feel for her being a nurse and having those hard days with patients and just wanting to save them all.
Twists in books are hit or misses with me and in this I truly did not see them coming (oh yes there are multiple ones).

The topics in this book were heavy and I would proceed with caution while reading.

What is a recent thriller that you have read and enjoyed?

Meghan Michaels is a divorced ICU nurse in Chicago. She’s a single mom taking care of her teenaged daughter as a killer roams the streets murdering single women. A new patient has arrived in the ICUE named Caitlen. It’s thought that she tried to commit suicide, but a witness comes forward stating that they saw Caitlin fighting with someone right before her fall. Could it have been a murder attempt?

My thoughts on this novel:
• I have enjoyed Mary Kubica’s thrillers in the past and this did not disappoint.

• I really enjoyed the twist at the end of the novel. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so I am not going to get into details.

• The plot was very engaging, and I read this story quickly. I was hooked from the very first page.


• I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and tension in this book. I felt scared for Meghan every time she walked home.
• The unreliable characters made it so that the reader was not sure who to believe.

• The difficulty of the mother and teenage daughter relationship seemed very relatable.

• It was interesting thinking about being a nurse and trying to maintain the balance of being a professional and not digging into patients’ private matters.

• I read this book in April, but I’m still plucking away at getting some past reviews posted.

Overall, She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica was an engaging thriller that I could not put down.

Book Source: Review copy from NetGalley. Thank-you!

A fast paced thriller with great character development. I didn’t want to put this one down, I just had to know what happened next!

**I appreciated the opportunity to read and review the electronic ARC. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher.

My favorite Mary Kubica book yet! Some parts seemed a little unnecessary at first, but then it all tied together great at the end.

I like Mary Kubica but this one was not for me. My best friend is a nurse and I hear her horror stories and all I could think about the whole time I was reading this one was how bad this makes nurses look and that they already have a bad enough rap (especially after covid to some people) and I just couldn't get out of my own head about that the entire time and therefore could not enjoy the story. So all that being said I will order copies for the shop and will recommend to certain customers but would not recommend for nurses or friends of nurses!

She's Not Sorry delivers Mary Kubica's signature twists and turns. Like her other books this one is well-written and fast-paced. She's a master at keeping you guessing and turning page after page.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc. 4/5 star read from Mary Kubica. I devoured this thriller as I usually do with Mary Kubicas books! Fast paced, keeps you guessing and entertaining.

Thank you so much to Park Row and NetGalley for the earc, my opinion is my own.

I absolutely have loved every book by Mary Kubica and this is no exception.

Meghan is a nurse in an icu ward, we follow her as she is taking care of her patient that attempted suicide Caitlin. At a meeting for divorce support, she runs into her old high school friend. Now the twists start coming. Who is telling the truth? Was Caitlin murdered or did she attempt suicide? This all comes thundering to a great finale that still leaves you with some questions.

She’s Not Sorry
By Mary Kubica
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Meghan is an ICU nurse and single mom to a teenage girl. She’s trying to figure out life after divorce. One night at her divorce support group, she runs into Nat, acquaintance from high school. Meghan, desperate for a friend, tries to cox Nat into attending the divorce support in hopes that it will give Nat the courage to divorce her abusive husband. But after Nat reappears in Meghan’s life, Meghan suddenly has lots of trouble in her life. Her life’s a mess outside of work and she’s struggling with one of her patients in the ICU. Meghan’s not sure if her patient will survive a tragic fall. When her patient’s family begins to think their daughter was pushed, things get really interesting…

I was so excited for this one! Ever since reading Local Woman Missing, I knew Mary Kubica had a gift for writing thrillers. I’ve had this one on my list for a while and I’m glad I finally read it.

Honestly, I struggled through part one. I felt like there was so much going on and I was ready for some action. Then I hit part two and WOW. Some of the twists I definitely saw coming, but there were a couple that really took me by surprise.

This one offered a really unique perspective on healthcare and being a nurse. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Meghan’s nursing role was a huge deal in part two. It was very interesting to read about that since I work in healthcare myself.

The one complaint I have about this book is how many different storylines there were. Kidnapping scams, drama from California, a mysterious man attacking women, family drama all around, etc.
Just a lot to keep up with!

Overall, I really enjoyed this one. If you enjoy unreliable narrators, family drama, and con stories, this might just be the thriller for you. I suggest looking into trigger warnings before reading.

Thank you NetGalley and Park Row Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I always love Mary Kubica’a books and this one was another hit! I absolutely loved it and read it so fast. Highly recommend!!

Each year, Kubica delivers a hit. This is another great book from one of the best in the business that kept me up reading late into the night.

Loved the story line. Twists & turns I didn’t see coming. Slow at first, but once into it, definitely hooked me!

I was so into this book but then the ending just pissed me off. It was predictable but also implausible and those are not what you want in a thriller. Sadly this will not be a favorite of mine, but I will continue to read every Mary Kubica book.

If you are looking for a bingeable popcorn thriller, this will do the trick. I was flipping pages quickly on this one. The tension was more from psychological suspense than jumpy scenes and it really worked. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a binge-read weekend.

This is my third book by this author, the first two were Local Woman Missing and Just The Nicest Couple, I enjoyed them and recommend as well.

The prologue hooked me, but then it just got a little slow for me. I almost did not finish this book, but I kept on and am glad that I did! After my hurdle, the ending of part one and all of part two of the book intensified with twist after twist that just kept me on the edge of my seat. I literally could not read fast enough to figure out what was going to happen next. To be honest, this is one of the few books that has given me that intense feeling where you are drawn in and are like a part of the book itself. All of the reveals were executed at the right moments and made this a great thriller.

I have a nursing background so I could relate to this book and Meghan where you get emotionally attached to your patients and/or their family members, even though you are taught not to, but it is inevitable. Meghan's instinct is to try and help and protect, but some of her decisions were questionable, which leads to an even better story.

Over all, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend. Thank you Park Row and NetGally for my advanced copy!

I had difficulty getting into this book and staying with it. I felt like it was prolonged paced. I've read Mary Kubica books before and enjoyed them. I almost didn't finish the book but I was glad I did. There is a twist at the end and I didn't see it coming.

One woman fighting for her life in an ICU bed, one woman being manipulated, one woman with a secret, one woman living a double life… but who is who? I loved the medical overtones and twists/turns. Great psychological thriller!!

She’s Not Sorry
Mary Kubica

This book is so thrilling and exciting to read and a plus for a nurse main character. Kubica really got the Critical Care setting and the lingos of the ICU nurse right which helps not to distract from the main story line. I was so surprised with how the story turned out and the weaving of the stories - jaw drop for sure!

Excellent read and five solid stars ⭐️
