This wasn't my favourite Mary Kubica. But it wasn't my least favourite either. It was just muddle of the road. I felt like I was reading a more romantic suspense book than a thriller. Which I don't hate just was a little jarring when it came down to it.
Meghan was an interesting character to be in the mind of for this story. She was unreliable but then we go to part two and she was extremely reliable.
I did like that Mary Kubica was able to weave together many storylines all with their own suspenseful plot. This was just a middle of the road thriller for me.

Thank you netgalley for the ARC of this book.

This was an absolute wild ride of a thriller!

The deception the author puts forth was 10/10... my mouth was agape when I reached the conclusion of Part 1! It was on the verge of receiving a 5 star review but the ending wasn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped it would have been. It felt like there were a few plot holes left open and a few characters got off easy. A door is left open for a possible sequel, but I think this will do just fine as a stand alone. There were dark and disturbing moments that had me wanting to know where Mary was leading us. The hospital scenes especially!

LOCAL WOMAN MISSING remains superior as Mary's best for me, but I enjoyed this one a lot too. Between this and JUST THE NICEST COUPLE I think this now clinches the second seed for me! This story will have you flipping the pages so fast, it's definitely one to have on your radar if you love Mary Kubica and if thrillers are your genre of choice!

What a wild ride lol. Reading a book in 24 hours is no small feat but when it is an incredibly executed thriller, I have no problem staying up all night to finish it.

Kubica has created the perfect layered mystery that comes together seamlessly in the last 100 pages. I didn’t know how she was going to do it but by the end my jaw was on the floor with everything that happened.

Heart pounding, gut wrenching, yet brilliantly executed, this thriller will have you bouncing in your chair as you fly through the pages trying to figure out what happened. Readers will be enraptured by Meghan (our main character’s) story as a divorced single mom and an ICU nurse. I honestly didn’t know Kubica could do better than Local Woman Missing but she does it here.

This will be a book that will have you staring at your wall wondering what the heck you just read. I just finished it and feel like I need to read it again because it is that good.

SHE'S NOT SORRY is Kubica's best yet. A nurse and a mother - two jobs Meghan has, and both put her in a position of someone you would be naturally inclined to trust. But as many other authors have taught us, Kubica reminds us that everyone, even those we trust, have secrets. Sometimes they haunt you, and sometimes they stay hidden.

For fans of JUST THE NICEST COUPLE, this is the perfect binge read. Mystery, secrets, and crime(s) galore wind their way into Chicago and threaten the life and family Meghan has built.

This book doesn't release until April, but I couldn't wait to read it once I got my ARC! Sorry, she's not sorry (ha!) as Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors. I really liked this one! It sucked me right in and didn't let up. It seems like most people who already read and reviewed the book figured out one of the twists and was gobsmacked with the other. Hi, it's me! I'm also most people. However, it doesn't seem like most people care about some loose-ends that were left open, but I NEED ANSWERS on how some of the plot progressed (plot holes?). I guess its a testament to how much I enjoyed this book because I feel more invested rather than frustrated in trying to figure out what must have happened off-page. Even still, this book was fast-paced and twisty, and just what I needed to get back into my thriller groove. As always, can't wait to see what Kubica comes up with next!

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row, and NetGalley for my ARC.

Wow, what twisty turns that you don't see coming at all. It very much keeps you turning pages to find out what is going to happen next. The story gets a little convoluted in the middle, but wraps us nicely. And always, a cliffhanger.......

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

A fast moving very twisty thriller, I got absorbed right from the beginning and it kept up a frenetic pace. Three storylines, a patient being treated for a coma after a suicide attempt, a high school friend, dealing with an abusive relationship and a rapist targeting women in her neighborhood. One twist, i got just as it was revealed and it was very surprisingly. It also was a story of mother and daughters and the ever changing love between them. One storyline could have been left off and it would still have been as effective, maybe more. But i still loved it

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. The prologue got me thinking right away, but then after that, it was a bit slow moving. But once I got to the climax of the book, wow! I did think one part of the book just felt over the top, but otherwise this is a great title.

Wow!! This book was so great!! It may have just bumped Local Woman Missing off the throne of my favorite Mary Kubica book. 😳
I am so happy I received this ARC from @netgalley. I couldn’t wait to get to it. If you love a thriller with some awesome twists, then you will love this one too. Man, the twists just kept on coming in this one. But that ending to Part 1, left my jaw wide open. 😱 I had to reread it to make sure I read what I read. Chefs kiss on that one Mary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t want to give too much away on this one. But in short, this book is about a single mom and nurse, Meghan. You follow Meghan to work, as she’s taking care of a new patient and you follow her personal life too. She befriends an old high school acquaintance and starts dating again after her divorce. But her life is about to get turned upside down by both these storylines. But that all I want to say. You HAVE to read this one. I’m telling you, it’s @marykubica at her best. This book is fantastic. I loved it so much. I couldn’t put it down. Definitely one of my top reads of the year. You’ll want to pick this one up as soon as it comes out next year. Again, thank you to @netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was definitely a huge ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars for me!!
Be sure to get your copy when it comes out.

What’s your favorite Mary Kubica book? This just may be mine now. It was THAT awesome!

So much twists and turns and the hospital setting made it so creepy but also so thrilling. Her books never disappoint.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.
Expected publication date: April 2, 2024
Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse and a recently divorced mother of a teenage daughter. Although she makes it a rule to keep a very firm line between her work life and her home life, Meghan can’t help but sympathize with Caitlin, a young woman who comes into the ER unconscious as the result of a TBI, caused by Caitlin’s tragic jump from a bridge. As Meghan cares for Caitlin, the police conclude that Caitlin did not jump- she was pushed. Meghan knows Caitlin is in a vegetative state and can’t speak for herself, but as more of Caitlin’s life is revealed by those who knew her, Meghan wonders if she has become too close to Caitlin, and if her and her daughter’s life are in danger.
Mary Kubica is no stranger to suspenseful fiction, her best-selling works include novels like “The Good Girl”, “Local Woman Missing” and “When the Lights Go Out” and she keeps getting better and better. Once you read one of Kubica’s books, you find yourself immediately queuing for the next one.
In “She’s Not Sorry”, Meghan is compulsively likable as an ICU nurse and single mother. Although Kubica’s character development is on point, the rapport between protagonist and reader is almost instantaneous. Caitlin is an important character too, and we learn what we need to through the experiences of those around her, although the real mystery is what stories are true. Both women have secrets, and Kubica unveils each one in an addictive and pulse-pounding way.
The twists are epic, with one twist ending just as another one begins. For every plot twist I was able to decipher ahead of time, “Sorry” delivered another equally unexpected one on its heels. Kubica draws all of her plot points together in a succinct and enjoyable conclusion, and I was completely satisfied with the outcome.
Kubica stands out for her creative and well-crafted plots, and for her ability to create tense and suspenseful twists and turns. “She’s Not Sorry” is deliciously addicting, and I can’t wait to read Kubica’s next one!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC of She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica!

This one was a slow burn for the first half but then it picked up and I really enjoyed it! Meghan, an ICU nurse, cares for a patient who jumps off a bridge. When questions surround the circumstances of the patient's suicide, Meghan finds herself in too deep. The plot was a little too slow moving for me but the twists that I didn't see coming make it worth the read!

Thank you to NetGalley for this much anticipated eARC! She's Not Sorry will have your jaw on the floor for the majority of your time spent reading. We follow Meghan, a recently divorced ICU nurse troubled by her latest patient who jumped off a bridge and is now in critical condition. As we learn more about this patient (Caitlin) and what her possible motives may have been, we also get to explore a past relationship of Meghan's from high school. From the first chapter this story sucked me in, and I think Kubica did a wonderful job immersing us into Meghan's life and pulling us along, always leaving us wanting more. Starting around halfway through this book we experience twists and turns I've never seen before in her other books, and this is one of those that, after finishing, has you turning right back to the first page to make even more connections. If She's Not Sorry isn't already on your TBR, go add it now and keep Mary Kubica on your list of authors to watch!

As expected, Mary Kubica's latest novel, She's Not Sorry, is a psychological thriller filled with twists that will keep you anticipating the possibilities until the end. There is a serial killer, a challenging teen, a single mom, several abused/abusive characters, and so much more that all add to the plot and keep things interesting. As is often the case, you'll start to second-guess yourself about what is real and what is not.
Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

I received this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start off by saying that this book took me on a roller coaster ride. It started a little slow for me and it didn't keep my attention. It started to pick up around 30%. I thought that Meghan was involved in too many people's business until I discovered the actual truth. I did feel like the author could've mentioned what happened to the Becketts after the incident. After the incident, they never really mentioned how they felt about the incident. I did figure Luke out pretty quickly. The ending was blah blah. In my opinion, it possibly could be a sequel.

This book was insane!! I could NOT put it down from the very beginning. There were many plots to follow - attacker on the loose, difficult family dynamics, recovering patient at the icu, fellow high school friend randomly popping up…but it was so easy to keep track of everything going on! Every part of the story was engaging and kept me interested. And the TWISTS! I thought everything wrapped up nicely and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a thriller with multiple plot twists. Such a great one!

Yet another page turner from Mary Kubica. I’ve only read a few of her books but this one makes me want to check out more of her work. Well developed characters and an enticing and gripping plot.

This is the first book I have read from this author. This was a well written book and I liked the story. It had a bit of romance, suspense, family issues, and many mysterious characters. So many times I found myself trying to predict how it would end, but I was usually wrong. There were many twists. I highly recommend this book. It is so worth it.

Good read! Definitely recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of Mary Kubica! It was my first by her and i plan on reading more !

I just finished She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica. Her books are always a must read for me as I love the mystery and twists in her books. This one was no different! There were several characters and story lines that seemed separate but yet became twisted up in the end. This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and reading to see the conclusion!

Thanks #NetGalley for the advanced reader copy!
