Thank you NetGalley, Park Row Books, and Mary Kubica for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I think this might be my favorite Kubica novel yet, and if you know how much I’ve loved her backlog that is high praise!

There is a killer twist (no spoilers don’t worry!) that comes at the end of Part One that truly blew my mind. I did not see it coming one bit.

Kubica has proven again that she is a thriller queen, and as always I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

I can't stop thinking about this book. I think I am still in shock!

Meghan is an ICU nurse, recently divorced, and a mom to a teenage daughter. She has a lot going on and not a lot of friends. She gets to work one day and everyone is talking about the new patient, Caitlin, who fell off a bridge and is in a coma. Did she Jump or was she pushed? Meghan is assigned Caitlin as her patient and she feels connected to her and can't stop thinking about her, even when she isn't at work.

I really liked this book and I am so happy that I received an advance reader copy through NetGalley. I enjoyed the story and it kept my attention. It was fast-paced and full of drama and secrets. I would definitely recommend this one!

This book was absolutely amazing!! From start to finish. So many twists and turns that are so unpredictable!! 5 stars!! Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints!! She's Not Sorry will have you breathless!!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for approving my request to read “She’s Not Sorry” by Mary Kubica as an ARC.

Let me start by saying…WOW. WHAT A RIDE. Right from the beginning, this book is fast paced and will have you hooked, dying to know what happens next. There are several moving parts to this story and the plot is complex; but Kubica KNOWS how to tie a story together and throw plot twists that you truly didn’t see coming.

🌉 BOOK / REVIEW 🌉

Ok, guys. This.👏freaking.👏.book.👏

Holy hell - I could simply say this is a MUST read and feel confident that I accomplished my goal of spreading the word about #shesnotsorry by @marykubica, but this one deserves an explanation!

The first half of the book will suck you in and sets an incredible scene for the remainder of the novel. Without giving too much away, there are a lot of subplots that seem disjointed, but I promise it all comes together. An "attempted" suicide, the rekindling of an old high school friendship, the trials and tribulations of a working single mother, and a creepy stalker attacking women at random - just to name a few.

And my jaw literally DROPPED on the floor as soon as the second part was unveiled. It was a non-stop adrenaline drive until the very end. I couldn't decide if I was on the same side as Meghan or if I thought she was unhinged 🤣. You can’t help but binge read this book - it was such a fun rollercoaster of a #thriller.

Mary - YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT! Add this to your April #tbr - you will not want to miss it. Thank you so much @parkrowbooks and @netgalley for my #gifted copy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first book I’ve read by Mary Kubica so I was excited to read it. Our main character Meghan Michaels is a newly divorced mom of a teenager, working as an ICU nurse at a Chicago hospital. One of her patients is a survivor of a suicide attempt. While navigating life’s many challenges (teenage daughter, divorce, difficult job) there is also the fact that there is a serial offender out there in Chicago, attacking women like her, and also…an old high school friend has come into Meghan’s life again. Nothing is as it seems.

Told in first person present tense (not my favorite narrative style), it started out with a bang but turned out to be a very, very slow burn of a suspense novel. I started to wonder if this perhaps was just a book about a nurse’s life, because there was almost no suspense in the first half. The extremely slow pace only picked up well after the midpoint but unfortunately, it was not enough to save this book. It is hard to review without spoilers. I will just have to say that Kubica resorts to literary devices commonly overused in modern books of suspense and there was nothing to make this one stand out in the sea of similar books.

Well she does it again! I’m always amazed and shocked at Mary’s brilliant writing and twists and turns. She is a master of suspense for sure! I loved this mother daughter twisty thriller/mystery! 5 stars!

I am now an autobuy reader for Mary Kubica. I couldn’t put this down the twist caught me off guard. A one day thriller ride !

This was a twisty ride, and I loved every second of it!
This wild ride starts off with a call to Megan by an unknown man saying he has her daughter.
Then the book flashes back.
Megan is a divorced mother of one and works as an ICU nurse. She attends a divorce support group and, during one meeting, runs into a familiar face, Nat. She can’t help but notice Nate’s hesitant demeanor and the bruise on her hairline. She quickly realizes Nat is going through some things and offers to help her. Megan is also struggling at work when a woman who attempted suicide in the same manner as Megan’s sister becomes her patient.

In true Mary Kubica fashion, she makes everything come together perfectly with a bow in the end. I’m kicking myself for leaving this ARC on the shelf for so long. It was a perfect thriller. I LOVED the foreshadowing at the beginning of the book and how it was just brushed off later. Amazing!

Caitlin Beckett rolls into the hospital, and the gossip spreads like wildfire—apparently, she took a leap off a pedestrian bridge, aiming for the suicide route. But wait, once her folks show up, they start sketching a completely different portrait of Caitlin. The plot thickens, my friend. Turns out, Caitlin might not be the daughter her parents thought she was—or maybe she’s exactly who they thought she was.

Now, the cops dive into the whole attempted suicide thing. Lo and behold, a witness steps up, claiming they saw someone else on the bridge. Plot twist: Caitlin might not have taken the plunge; she might’ve been pushed. The Becketts, Caitlin’s folks, take a shining to Meghan and start spilling their guts, hoping Meghan can alter the grim destiny looming over their daughter. But, hold up, some bizarre encounters with Caitlin’s brother and father make you realize there’s some funky business afoot.

Somewhere in the mix of pages, this story had potential. Yet, as it dragged on, I lost interest. Honestly, it felt like there was just too much happening. Why’s Caitlin tangled up in Meghan’s life? What’s with the focus on some guy assaulting women in the hood? And why are we so invested in the Becketts? In the end, the story fell flat, just like it did at the close of Part One.

Crossing my fingers this is just the kickoff to a series, and another book will spill the tea on what the heck just went down. If this is the whole enchilada, count me disappointed.

2.5/5. This book starts to finally pick up about 65% of the way through. There are a few early clues that make you wonder who is really who and if they are who they say they are. I found the timeline a little confusing at first, and was quite perplexed by the end. There were a lot of hints/clues that were planted earlier in the book that were completely ignored at never mentioned again. However, while reading I did want to know what would happen to Meghan, her daughter and Caitlin, but when all was revealed, I was quite disappointed. An interesting book, but one that I would probably skip.

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC in exchange fo my honest review!

A nurse in the ICU cares for a critically ill patient who may be a victim of attempted murder or suicide. As the story unfolds the main character is surrounded by sketchy people who all seem out to get her. I had to suspend disbelief in many instances and the plot felt forced at times

She’s Not Sorry hooked me from the very beginning! This was fast-paced novel that I quickly flew through. There are a few story lines going on throughout the novel. One of the mystery story lines was happening right under my nose that resulted with a twist I honestly did not see coming. All the characters are great and well developed. I never knew quite who to trust, which always makes for a great read. This was a great read and another reason I will always pick up a Mary Kubica novel!

Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

The twists and turns in this book…I read it in less than a day. It’s typical Kubica. You’ll think you know where the plot is going and then she’ll deliver a plot twist. The main character is a flawed, likable single mom. Everyone else is questionable. It’s a quick, thrilling read. If you love thrillers that keep you guessing, She’s Not Sorry is a must-read.

Traumatic, tremble, and turmoil.

Oh. My. Gosh.
This is a fast paced story, that keeps you at the edge of your seat from page 1. Mary Kubica has given us another chilling story, following an ICU nurse. Taking care of a patient that starts to consume more of her life than hoped, the town of Chicago is also experiencing violent attacks on women in the evenings. There is a lot going on in this nurses life, and you can feel the weight of her chaos with each page.
JUST when you think you have it figured out…I will be reeling from this story for a long time.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Mary Kubica for this incredible ARC, for my honest review!

Mary Kubica's latest release, "She’s Not Sorry," has undoubtedly claimed the title of the best book I've read in 2023. Eagerly anticipating its official release on April 2, 2024, I'm already looking forward to recommending it to everyone I know. Among all of Mary Kubica's works, this one stands out as my favorite.
The novel captivates the reader right from the start and maintains suspense throughout, offering a plethora of twists and turns that keep you guessing. With multiple plot lines initially appearing unrelated, the narrative ingeniously weaves them together, leaving readers astounded. If you enjoy books featuring intricate plots, unreliable narrators, medical settings, and mind-bending twists, "She’s Not Sorry" is a must-read.

Mary’s books always are a slow burn for me but they pull you in to where you have to keep turning the pages to peel back the layers of mystery within. This one did not disappoint and fans of hers will want to add this to their list.

This book definitely started off a little slow. I kept my interest but nothing super exciting happened for the first half of the book, BUT the way Mary ties the whole story together in an explosive plot twist was beautiful! There was no way to see it coming either. I read the last half of the book in one sitting because once the plot twist was revealed, I absolutely had to know how it ended.
I will always be a Mary Kubica fan since reading Local Woman Missing and this one lives up to my expectations!

I have read all of Mary Kubica’s thrillers and enjoyed exactly every other one. Knowing this, it had to be time for a winner since her last book was a 2.5 star read.

And…it did not disappoint! She’s Not Sorry gripped me from the first page and I could not put it down.

As a single mother, Meghan Michaels is working full-time as an ICU nurse while trying to raise a teenage daughter. When a woman arrives in the ICU after jumping off a bridge in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, Meghan is assigned to her care. Soon, she finds herself getting too close to the patient and her family. Then, a witness reports that she saw someone push her. Meghan begins to fear that she and her daughter are now in danger. Could they be the next?

I am always a sucker for plots about coma patients and have read many of them. This one took many clever twists and turns, but I did correctly guess how they would ultimately turn out. Even with my expert sleuthing skills, this book reads like a thriller and kept my interest the entire way through. It is also obvious that Kubica either knows a lot about nursing, or she did her research.

I predict that readers will really enjoy this fast-paced thriller!

3.75/5 stars rounded up

Expected publication date: 4/2/24

Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row publishing for the ARC of She’s Not Sorry in exchange for an honest review.
