Recommend reading this book for the fun thriller factor, which is what the author is known and sought after. It is not a literary masterpiece. Perfect for the winter months to read wrapped in a warm blanket with a hot drink.

3.5 stars rounded down.

A decent thriller with some good twists.

I was eager to read Kubica's new book after enjoying Local Woman Missing. While this was a solid thriller, it didn't measure up to LWM in my opinion.

The book follows main character Meaghan, an ICU nurse, as she cares for a woman who has seemingly jumped off a bridge and is in a coma with little chance of survival. I don't want to reveal too much as there are several storylines told throughout the book, some are connected and some are not.
This plot has some decent twists in it but somehow the execution and the pacing was just a bit off for me and I found the characters a bit two dimensional and unlike-able. It was a decent read, but I didn't find myself completely drawn in until the last 25% of the book. I think had I not read her previous works this might have scored a bit higher for me, but the bar was set high. Still worth a read!

Life has been hectic for me this month so it took a long time for me to get through this book. However, I find if a book is a 5 star read I get through it no matter how busy I am.

Mary Kubica has done it again! Her ability to write a story full of twists and turns never get old. This story has me guessing/shocked until the last page. I found myself sneaking time throughout the day to read more of this thriller. I enjoyed the protagonist Meghan and really felt like I was there alongside her in Chicago thanks to the stellar writing. This book begs you to read more, there were times I was mad, times I had tears and times when I was left wondering wow how did that happen. Another thriller hit, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you netgalley and publisher for the advanced read.

This one wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t terrible either. I always love a good thriller, and this one kept me interested.

This was the most twisty turny book I have ever read. It was a slow burn, but so worth the wait. Meghan was a very interesting character. I found myself constantly rooting for her... her safety, he bravery, her cunning, her love for her daughter, and of course... well... you know.
I love Mary Kubica and she absolutely did not disappoint with this one.
Her writing is always so immersive. I felt like I was walking those streets in Chicago next to Meghan. I felt and feared for my own safety. This book was great!

Thank you netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I am a huge Mary Kubica fan. I was so excited to get to read her latest book early!

In true form, she gives a lot of twists and turns. A few times I thought I had it all figured out and then nope, I was wrong.

The book is definitely a page turner - there were a few things that fell flat and could have been fleshed out a bit more, but overall it was a great read.

Looking forward to her next one !

Wow what did I just read! So many twists and turns my head was spinning. A creative and bold plot. The lines of hero and villain a more blurred in this creepy who dun it. The characters are solid and likeable. The story flows at a great speed. A page turner that will knock the breath out of you with each new shocking twist. I loved it this one!

Mary Kubica can be hit or miss for me, and this one was an absolute hit!

While the first half starts off as a slow burn as it introduces key characters, their backgrounds, and insights, the second half ramps up and takes you for a wild ride! Admittedly, during the first half I was wondering where the narrative was headed. Nevertheless, the story held its grip on my interest throughout, and by the time I reached around 60%, I was absolutely captivated, unable to put the book down or go to bed until I finished it. There are so many twists! Some were pretty predictable, some were mind-blowing.

Structured with multiple storylines under a single point of view, we spend a good bit of time in the protagonist’s mind. I felt the storylines were woven together well and that was satisfying.



Please keep in mind this review is based on an advanced reading copy and reading is subjective :)

Many thanks to Harper Collins/Harlequin Publishing and NetgGalley for my DLC

Meghan is working as a nurse and raising her daughter on her own. She diligently takes care of her patients but doesn't get overly involved in their story until an unconscious patient is admitted to the ICU after jumping from a bridge. A witness comes forward who claims the patient didn't jump but instead was pushed. Meghan becomes emotionally invested in the patient and her family which puts her and her daughter at risk. This book contains so many twists, you won't be able to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I LOVE Mary Kubica. This book was no exception. The book follows an ICU nurse, Meghan, who is a divorced mom to a teenager daughter. At work, a new patient on the unit named Caitlin, jumped from a bridge in attempt to take her own life. Meghan can’t understand why, but something about this patient is different. A witness comes later and says Caitlin was pushed and didn’t jump. Meghan begins to fear for her safety and wonders if this might lead to her and her daughter becoming victims.

I loved this book! As an ICU nurse, it was interesting to read parts of the book taking place in the hospital. I give this book 5 stars like I always do with Mary’s books. Clever, fast paced, and creative.

I saw so many good reviews for this book and was definitely excited to start reading this one.
We meet Meghan who is a recent single mother raising her teenage daughter, Sienna, with her ex husband, Ben and is also a Nurse. While navigating those challenges one day a patient, Caitlin , is admitted to the ICU after a suicide attempt in extremely bad condition. Suddenly it’s all anyone can talk about and all Meghan can focus on. It doesn’t help that she starts to form a close bond with the family, has a history of these tragedies, and to top it off there is a violent male rapist in the loose killing women in her neighborhood. Soon the question is, did Caitlyn actually try to enter her own life did she get pushed with someone else involved? Did her family know things that they aren’t sharing someone knows the truth, and it is going to come out. Does that sound like a whole bunch going on??? Because it definitely was!
This book was definitely fast paced and kept me reading, however I did guess a lot of the twists and turns. My biggest complaint is there were SO many loose ends at the conclusion of this book I found myself extremely frustrated. There were so many plot lines, character stories, plot holes, and things that I wanted answers to that came out throughout the book, and in the end it was as if she forgot that she even mentioned those things none of it was answered those characters seem to have disappeared, and it was extremely frustrating, because there were no answers. There was no conclusion nothing was wrapped up, and even with the characters that were wrapped up, I still was confused by some of it.
Overall, I found this book to be very fast paced, and intriguing and a nice read, but the ending and the Locker of ending for many of the parts left a bad taste in my mouth which lowered my rating. 3.5

I want to thank the author, Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Park Row Sienna for an ARC of this book!

FIVE STARS!!!!

let me start out by saying the way i lost my mind for getting this eARC. Kubica is forever a favorite author, and She’s Not Sorry did not disappoint. every little detail brought this story together so well, and the writing as always was superb. definitely recommend!
Thank you Netgalley & Park Row Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Mary Kubica’s latest book “She’s Not Sorry” is action packed and has a lot of unexpected twists throughout. This is a wild ride from start to finish. I really enjoyed the twists and turns I went on while reading this book. Thanks NetGalley for an advanced audio eArc.

Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors, so I was so excited to get the opportunity to read her upcoming release, "She's Not Sorry.."

Meghan Michaels is a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time ICU nurse. During her next shift, a patient named Caitlin in a coma with a traumatic brain injury is added to her caseload. Meghan learns that Caitlin jumped from a bridge and becomes invested in figuring out her motive. To add to the chaos, Meghan reunites with a high school friend at her divorce group meeting who is also going through trauma.

When a witness comes forward with details about the fall and other women in the town are being attacked at night, Meghan begins to worry that either she or her daughter will become victims themselves. This was an easy read with lots of twist and turns and an unexpected ending
Thank you to Mary Kubica, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row and #NetGalley for the ARC and opportunity to read and review. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of my own!

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the chance to review this book. Meghan Michael’s a nurse in ICU is caring for a patient who jumped off a bridge but survived, has an ex husband and teenage daughter she’s dealing with, there’s a man who is attacking women at night, and she meets an old high school friend in a divorce group whom she takes under her wing. Too much going on? Yes, definitely.
I found more negatives than positives reading this book. I thought the prologue wasn’t necessary because you don’t get to that part of the story until much further in the book. What was the purpose of it? The author repeats many descriptions in the book that really only need be stated once such as the 30 bed setup in the ICU broken into ten units. That’s mentioned at least twice, as is many other descriptions. There are two main plot lines with a smaller plot line about her ex husband, and the two together don’t really mesh. The author seems to try too hard at times such as the scene where the girl’s father walks her home. Are we supposed to think he’s menacing or another red herring? Lastly I didn’t like any of the characters therefore didn't care and wasn’t invested in what happened to them. All in all a mishmash of a book.

Kubica skillfully crafts an irresistibly binge-worthy thriller, redeeming herself after last year's letdown. The story executes a brilliant misdirect that had me questioning everything I read, accompanied by unexpected twists. However, it falls short of a perfect five stars due to lingering unanswered character plot lines, leaving me with the feeling that some suspicious characters served as red herrings without a clear purpose.

I love this author, and this book is another winner. It's a dark and twisty thriller with a lot going on and a lot of questions raised, most but not all being answered to my satisfaction. I felt it was a little slow at times, but that's being nitpicky. Overall, I was invested in the story and characters. I know this review is short on details, but you can read that in the synopsis. Personally, I like to go into a thriller blind and let the author's words reveal the story. Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy.

I loved this thriller!! It was very dark and twisty but I couldn’t put it down. It kept me guessing the whole book. Big trigger warnings: there was a lot of talk about suicide and some talk about domestic violence.

I love Mary Kubica but this one was very, very slow to me. There were some major twists that made me feel like the slow pace had a good payoff but overall this book was too slow for my liking.
