This book was utterly 🍌🍌🍌 in the best way! What a fun rollercoaster of emotions and just the perfect amount of drama! Some of the ICU scenes dragged on a bit but in the end the wait was worth it!!!!

5.0⭐️

Special thanks to NetGalley, Park Row and HTP for the review copy in exchange for my honest review❤️

Thank you SO much to Mary Kubica and Park Row Books for my copy of this one! It’s about Meghan, an ICU nurse dealing with a patient that jumped off a bridge. When a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma, Meghan is assigned to care for her, but soon a witness comes forward saying that they think Caitlin might have been pushed. At the same time, there are vicious crimes happening all over the city of Chicago, and they are getting closer and closer to where Meghan lives. Meghan is trying to protect her daughter, but soon finds herself drawn into something much more sinister than she imagined.

Thoughts: Oh my goodness Mary Kubica. This book was SO twisted in the best way. I loved reading about each character but didn’t really trust them. The plot was layered and I was drawn into the book from the very first page. The pacing was so well done that I couldn’t put it down and read it in a few hours. Having lived in Chicago in the past, the gritty underbelly was so well described and I felt like I was right there with the characters.

The big twist in this book was amazing. I didn’t see it coming and I loved the way it fit in perfectly. I think there was a little too much going on in the end, and I wish the story would have just fleshed out the unanswered questions in the very end, instead of throwing in another big moment. It was such a great thriller and I was thoroughly entertained the entire time! 4.5 stars for this one!

I received this book as an arc through Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the first book I read by Mary Kubica, and after reading this book, I would love to read more. This book is fast-paced and full of twists. I loved every minute of it. There are a few different stories wound together. The author is good and making sure that each story doesn't take away from the other, and then after they connect, she ties them up with a bow. While I think a piece of the storyline could have been eliminated to focus more on the main story, I can understand the importance of the themes behind everything. If you like psychological thrillers, this book will hook you in and leave you wanting more.

Another fantastic Mary Kubica novel!!! This one definitely threw me for a loop. I will say at times I had to think about what was going on in the story but it makes you think. I thought the ending was crazy and I am still thinking about it! Must read for suspense/thriller fans!!

Loved this book! I’ve read “the good girl” and loved it. Once I’ve seen this other people I just had to have it. Thank you NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this book.

I couldn’t read this book fast enough! There are so many mysteries on top of other mysteries it’s hard to imagine what will happen next. The author has the ability to make you believe you’re right there in the middle of the action. The story is set in Chicago and a killer is on the loose. Meghan walks alone to and from her job as an ICU nurse and that adds to the suspense. I think anyone who likes a good psychological thriller will like this book. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love Kubica and normally cruise through her books but this one was a slow start for me. It didnt feel as original as her previous work,

Mary Kubica knows how to tell a story and this was a great one that gripped me from page 1 of the prologue. Chicago can be a dangerous place and Meghan knows just that. All Meghan wants to do is keep her daughter safe and take care of the patients at her job as an ICU nurse, but with a serial assaulter terrorizing the city can she do that? I am always making guesses while I’m reading and only got one of my several guesses correct, this book gripped me and wouldn’t let me go. Thank you netgalley for the arc, I will definitely be grabbing my own copy in April.

Meghan is an ICU nurse who is trying to get the hang of being a single mom to a teenage daughter. Caitlin is a new patient that comes into the unit, and Meghan starts to have questions about what happened to her.
The book was a little slow at first, but then I started really enjoyed myself. I always love when the pieces start getting put together!

Overall, I was captivated from the beginning with so many questions because I was hooked!

Spoilers!!

Who is in charge of these secret attacks? Who is Nat? Why did she jump? Will they get back together?

In the end, I did not see the major shocking plot reveals! There was twice where I thought I had it figured out but I didn’t.

I would have given it five stars, however, some of the foreshadowing was not so subtle: “I’m not thinking about what’s been happening to women in the city …”

Lastly, I was surprised by a couple of spelling/typos.

Overall, plot gets a solid 4 stars though! Wouldn’t have guessed it!

I can not stress enough that you need to add this book to your TBR. I am a big fan of Mary Kubica but did not love her latest novel. I was nervous about this book, but I am happy to report that it was TWISTY and fantastic.

Three plots intersect in this novel and make your jaw hit the floor. I truly couldn't figure out how the three storylines were connected but that truly were.

I do have some questions about how this story ended up but I may never have answers...

Whew! This is her best one since Local Woman Missing. It was dark, twisty and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5/5- I received an e-ARC from @netgalley for my review; a HUGE thanks to them, Park Row, and @marykubica !!
📖 A single mother and ICU nurse, Megan, is treating a woman who supposedly jumped from a bridge… or did she? A witness says she was pushed. Everyone has secrets- Megan, the patient, her family, & Megan’s daughter.
⭐️ PRO: this author! I have loved pretty much everything she’s written and this was no exception. It was a quick read, but an absolute page-turner.
⭐️ PRO: I was a little confused with the back and forth at first but it ends up all making sense. The build up was exciting and the TWIST was perfect.
☹️ CON: a lot of street names, subway names and directionals that would probably make perfect sense to someone who lives in Chicago. But for me, going left on such street, getting the L train to such stop, turning onto that street… it just flew right over my head.
📖 Expected publication date April 2, 2024

Mary Kubica is one of the queens of plot twist. Her books are always a fast paced, train ride I am sad to get off. 4 stars for She's Not Sorry!

Meghan Michaels faces the challenges of being a single mom while working full time as an ICU nurse. One day at the hospital, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma after a harrowing fall from a bridge. The incident is initially seen as a traumatic brain injury, but when a witness reveals shocking details, everything is thrown into doubt. Was Caitlin pushed, and if so, by whom and for what reason?

Meghan, usually adept at keeping emotional distance, finds herself drawn into Caitlin's story. As she becomes entwined with Caitlin and her family, Meghan realizes she's in too deep. The mystery surrounding Caitlin's fall becomes more complex, and Meghan fears that she and her daughter might be the next targets.

This chilling thriller crafts a tale that blurs the lines between duty and personal involvement. Meghan's struggle to maintain detachment takes a dark turn as she delves into the unsettling details of Caitlin's past. The author weaves suspense and intrigue, keeping readers on edge as Meghan discovers the ominous connections that put her and her daughter in jeopardy.

This book is not just a medical drama; it's a gripping exploration of how the past can resurface with chilling consequences. The characters, particularly Meghan, are relatable, and the author skillfully builds tension, making it a compelling read for those who enjoy mysteries with a psychological edge.

As the mystery unravels, readers are taken on a suspenseful journey, and the twists and turns keep them guessing until the final pages. The author's ability to create a sense of impending danger adds to the intensity of the narrative. This is a riveting thriller that skillfully combines the complexities of personal relationships with the dark undercurrents of a mysterious past.

I just reviewed She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica. #ShesNotSorry #NetGalley

4.5 stars rounded up.

I read this in one day, I loved it! Every part of this book was a twist. Nothing too wild but definitely kept me reading to see how each would turn out. I didn’t love the situation that happened at work - I’m not sure I believed it. However, the rest of it? Great turns in the story that I didn’t see coming.

Definitely a great book.

Advanced reader copy thanks to NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting that twist AT ALL!! What a wild ride that took me on!!! All this time I was suspicious of the wrong person all along.. I kept thinking back to see if there was anything that gave it away, but Mary Kubica is so good at shocking us!!! Definitely a must read!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Publishing for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review!

I really liked this one. At first, I thought it was going to be a medical thriller, but the medical part of it was more background noise thank anything else. I have to admit, I did not see the twist coming. Afterward, I tried to think back if there were any clues, and there weren’t. The changing timelines made it next to impossible to anticipate what was really going on. The thing is that I didn’t even realize I was reading different timelines! At the heart of it, this novel is about obsession. Everyone in this story had an unhealthy obsession with something! These obsessions anmong all of the characters magically put Meghan in the predicament she was in. I did know who the man attacking women was right away. Once his character was introduced, I just knew it. It again, it was a great ending and a twist that shocked me for sure!

Huge thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

This was a wild ride! I admit, I haven’t read that many thrillers, but I can say that this one kept me on my toes! I wanted to keep reading to figure out what happened and was surprised many times along the way! A fast-paced unpredictable thriller!

Wow… this was SO GOOD. I definitely got thrown through a loop a few times and never saw the connection with Caitlin and Meghan coming. Throughout the entire book I kept trying to guess at what was coming next and found myself reading faster just so I could find out. Looks like after this book I’ll be going on a Mary Kubica binge lol
