• Single POV

Mary Kubica knows how to write a thriller! Recently divorced mom & ICU nurse, Megan, finds herself in the middle of multiple entanglements that may or may not be related — threatening letters, an old HS friend in need of help, a man on the loose attacking women, a phone call demanding money, and a patient who she’s become overly involved with. With so many elements at play early on, each chapter brings you closer to understanding what’s really happening in Megan’s life.

This was definitely a fast paced read, but it didn’t pull me in as strongly as Kubica’s Local Woman Missing, nor was the ending as strong. Overall, though, a highly recommended read!

She's Not Sorry has red herrings, twists and turns, some nasty characters ( love that) and some you just wish the best for.

The book has quite a few sub plots and as a reader I could not wait to see how they all tied together.

Meghan a single mum raising her 16 year old daughter Sienna is also an ICU nurse.

She gets assigned to a patient who jumped from a bridge but did not succumb to her injuries as of yet.

On the home front Meghan is doing her best to raise her daughter and keep her safe.

She is worried as there is a man attacking women in her area.

The tension mounts.

Meghan meets Nat an old friend from high school but something about her story does not ring true.

Everyone has secrets , everyone is hiding something that will blow apart their world if the truth comes out.

Mary Kubica is a master at surprising the reader with a jaw dropping ending and She's Not Sorry is no exception.

Grab your copy, clear your calendar and get ready for a tense, nail biting read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harelquin Trade Publishing, Park Row for page turning read.

Mary Kubica does it again!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Her books are so easy to read, and so addictive, they just hook you til you've devoured every last word!! This was one wild ride! She's Not Sorry is smart and multilayered without being confusing or convoluted. The MC Meghan becomes a fast friend, who's so easy to root for. This is a super fast-paced read, with this momentum I just love. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, with twist after satisfying twist! Well done!! 👏🏻

4-4.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing this ARC.
I have read a few Mary Kubica books before and really liked them. She’s Not Sorry is not my favorite by her. The premise for the story is very interesting and I enjoyed the twists that went along with the main story as they were plausible but not expected! However, I did feel like there were two different stories playing out and I did not see how the two were super relevant to each other. I was excited that the story follows Meghan an ICU nurse, but I did not enjoy it as much as I anticipated. This could be because I am a nurse and some of the information given made it a little tedious to read. I did enjoy the book overall and would recommend it to others.

You can also see my review on my Goodreads and Instagram @brewingbookrecs later today.

This is not my first read by this author so I knew I liked the writing style and had some expectations going in. But this book blew me out of the water. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Another hit by my new fave author! This one was her best yet, in my opinion. Just the right amount of tension, expertly crafted twists, and characters who were easy to empathize with. This book makes you question morality: right vs wrong vs the morally grey area. It had an ominous ending, which I always love in a thriller.

When the first big twist happened just before Part 2, it took a second for it to click, and then I said (out loud to an empty apartment) “Wait, WHAT???” 😂 I love books that make me express my feelings out loud.

I absolutely loved this book. It was a bit of a slow burn, but it was so compelling from the very beginning. There were a lot of plot lines going on and I was eager to see how they all came together. I found myself thinking about this book a lot when I couldn’t read it, and getting excited to finally sit down with it and read more. This story had a MINDBLOWING twist. So, so good. 10/10.

Thank you so much to Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity for this Advance Copy!

Mary Kubica’s latest novel, She’s Not Sorry, is a thriller about an ICU nurse (Meghan) who’s life gets very complicated in a very short span of time. When Meghan gets a new patient in the ICU unit it appears the young woman tried to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge. But as the police begin to investigate, it is not quite clear if it was a suicide attempt, an accident or something more sinister. Meanwhile there is a predator roaming the streets at night attaching and raping women who live alone. Through all this Meghan runs into an old high school friend, Nat, at a divorce group meeting. When it appears that Nat maybe a victim of abuse, Meghan feels she must do all she can to help her friend.

If all this sounds a bit confusing and disjointed, that is exactly how it comes across in the book. The first two thirds of the book felt like it was all over the place, jumping around and at times a bit confusing. It became clear early on who the predators was but there were still lots of twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The first half of the book didn’t really pull me in but I am glad I kept reading. It did pick up the second half and things started coming together. I would recommend this book to all fans of psychological thriller fans.

This was my first Mary Kubica novel. I loved the character development for Meghan, a divorced mom and an ICU nurse tasked with taking care of a coma patient who tried to take her own life. I was aware this author writes thrillers, and although the first half of the book was tense, I was beginning to wonder if I misjudged the genre. When I read the first twist, I was shocked! I never saw it coming! Then the twists just kept on coming! This was such a wonderful book! I flew through it.

Thank you, NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed above are my own.

5 stars!

This will definitely end up being in my top 5 reads of the year! Just WOW. I loved the story, the characters, the writing style. I can honestly say i've never read a book with that many well executed twists before.

I will recommend this book to all my fellow thriller lovers!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC!

Mary Kubica is the queen of twists. I always think I have it all figured out then the story comes together with a slew of additional surprises…which I love! I think I’ve read most of Kubica’s books, and this one definitely has a spot close to the top. “Local Woman Missing” still being my favorite of hers I’ve read to date.

This story is about a recently divorced nurse who is caring for a patient in the ICU who supposedly jumped off a bridge. As the story unfolds, you begin to wonder, did she really jump? Not to worry though, all is revealed in the end. What I love about MK’s writing style is there are always multiple plots taking place and the through lines between them are always wrapped up nicely. It’s all connected. Always is.

I recommend this book for thriller and mystery lovers and anyone who loves a good page turner.

Thank you NetGalley, Mary Kubica & Harlequin Trade Publishing for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

First Off, a HUGE thank you for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. AND, for turning me into a huge Mary Kubica fan. I binged this book in a matter of hours. It was twisty, addicting and I was hooked on every word!

Mark my words, this will be one of the top thrillers of the summer. I loved this so much I read it in two sittings. She's Not Sorry is the story of our main character Meghan Michaels an ICU nurse and single mom. One day when Meghan arrives at work she is assigned to a patient named Caitlin, a patient in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. What follows in this story is nothing short of a completely thrilling novel. I loved this book, and I could not put it down. If you are a thriller fan, you will definitely want to pick this one up. I love when authors can tie everything together at the last minute, with a nice bow, and this one did just that.
It publishes in April of 2024, so I highly recommend you pre-order your copy to read it when it comes out!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Entertaining story that kept me guessing until the end. A couple different mysteries going on. Quick read.

This sadly wasn’t my favorite by this author. I thought the twists toward the end were really good but I just felt like there was a lot to get to that.

I could not put this book down!!! There is so much build up, it was a page turner for me. Once the first big twist is revealed they just kept coming!! My head was spinning in the best way possible.

Mary Kubica's writing is so descriptive from the environment to the characters emotions, it evokes a familiar fear; like you're walking up a set of stairs in the pitch black at night type of fear. At no point did I know where the story was going. You'll find yourself questioning everyone's motives.

I do tend to play detective with my thrillers so I did guess the ending twist but how it fully played out was still jarring. I will be thinking about this book for days!

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin trade publishing & Mary Kubica for an ARC of this book 😊

I will post my review to Goodreads and Instagram closer to release date!

As a former Chicago suburbs girl, I LOVED the setting of this story. (grew up close to Barrington). I did NOT see the mega twist coming and I loved it. The final sentence had my jaw dropping to the floor, though I did figure out one other plot point.

I love a good thriller and this one did not let me down!

A twisty thriller that pulls the reader in with its ever-increasing sense of dread. The pressure building on the main character is palpable (recent divorce, single mom, critical care nurse, a violent criminal stalking women in her neighborhood), all while she's living in a fishbowl (social media, someone possibly stalking her, the L frequently going past her apartment window). There are multiple plots going on that all managed to tie up in the end. Mary Kubica does it again!

This novel pulled me in from the beginning and didn't let go. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! There were a few twists and one of them so huge, I gasped out loud. Quite heart pounding, the story revolves around an ICU nurse, single parent to a teenaged girl. A young woman in a coma after being pushed off a bridge, a serial rapist, a family secret and a mouthy teenaged daughter make for a heart pounding good read! Highly recommend.

This book started out slow for me but when it picked up all I can say is wow. There is one surprise after another, more twists and turns than you can imagine. The author did a great job tying things together. When the book finally picks up you won’t be able to stop reading. The 4* is because it was slow to begin with. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
