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.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.I love this author and this book did not disappoint! The main character was well developed and relatable. The story is set in the hospital with a patient but that patient has an interesting story of her own! I loved every twist and turn! I was entertained from beginning to end!

An ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient’s frightening past.
Only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims.

Meghan Michaels is a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time nurse. A patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge to the train tracks below. Then witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, claiming Caitlin was pushed, but by whom and why? Meghan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time she gets too close and only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims.

I was hooked from the start with this story. Mary Kubica has outdone herself agin. Intricately weaving a mysterious tale about a young woman in coma, her family grieving her condition, and a mysterious stranger who keeps visiting her in hospital. Countered only by Meghan helping a long forgotten high school friend with a predator on the loose in her neighborhood who seems to be preying on women at night. This story is has a dark and creepy feeling that makes you feel uneasy and suspicious of everyone. The build up to the shocking conclusion will keep you reading all night long.

With real life situations in this book, you can easily see how things played out can happen in real life. There are many twists that I did not see coming, until they were revealed. At times I did feel Meghan was a bit gullible! The beginning was slow for me but overall a great thriller that you won’t be able to puzzle!

I am always excited when Mary Kubica has a new thriller available, as I never know what she is going to come up with next. Her latest, She's Not Sorry, is deliciously creepy and I couldn't stop worrying about Meghan whenever I had to get back to real life.

There is a lot happening in this story, between a patient in the ICU with a questionable background, the reappearance of a high school friend, and someone attacking women who are home alone. There's also a part that connects to the prologue and it's so disturbing (especially since it has been happening to people in real life). Just when I thought I knew what was happening, I would be surprised again and totally thrown for a loop.

I'm not giving spoilers, but this novel left me with a lot of questions. Some things still seemed open ended and I felt like there was one part of the story that didn't end up going anywhere when it could have been explored more. I'm glad to discuss this with others who have already read it.

Overall, a worthwhile read and I already look forward to whatever Mary has up her sleeve for her next novel (and this one isn't even released yet)!

There were a ton of twists and turns in the book! I enjoyed reading it. A ton of layers among the characters that was like a jigsaw puzzle at the end!

This amazing thriller will have you turning the pages quickly. The author Mary Kubica has written another wonderful thriller. The characters and situation in this book will have your heart beating a little fast. I loved the book from start to finish, The main character Meghan Michaels is trying to balance being a single parent and working as an ICU nurse. This book will make a great book club selection and the discussions about the book will be endless.

Mary Kubica is an amazing author and I typically love everything she writes. Unfortunately, She’s Not Sorry fell flat for me.

The overall premise of this novel was entertaining and I enjoyed that aspect. My main issue with She’s Not Sorry was the timeline. Without going too far in to detail, I felt like the timing and main “twist” weren’t executed well. I did like the story but wasn’t blown away and felt like the timeline didn’t make sense for me.

Overall, I’d recommend any book by this author, but, in my opinion, I’d go into it with lower expectations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This one was just okay for me. There were 2 "twists" in this book and neither of them connected to each other.

Mary Kubica is probably my favorite suspense/thriller author out there. She's Not Sorry continues the trend of exploring complex human relationships and surprising the reader with unexpected twists. I did not see this coming at all. She's a master of the genre and I stand by the fact that she is an "auto-buy" author for me. Can't wait to have the official copy on my shelf!

4.5 stars
Oh Mary Kubica, why do you do this to me? This one was slow to pick up but when it did, oh my goodness! Characters who we aren't sure if we can trust including a main character who obsesses over things and will make your heart race along with hers, and twists and turns everywhere. Highly recommend.

ICU nurse Meghan takes care of a patient who appears to have tried to commit suicide. Meghan becomes obsessed with learning about Caitlin and what happened to her. So many twists and turns. I really enjoyed seeing how the story played out and came together in the end.

Amazing book! I could not put down. My favorite by Kubica so far. i loved it. Very suspenseful and in shock of who was the culprit in both plots

Local Woman Missing remains one of my all-time favorite Mary Kubica books. However, I have to admit that She's Not Sorry didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

Around 39% into the book, I seriously considered abandoning ship. The pace was painfully slow, and the writing failed to captivate me as much as I had hoped. Thankfully, things did start to pick up after the halfway point, but by then, I had already developed a dislike for the characters, and the plot holes were becoming increasingly irritating. And let's not forget about the twist – (because there is always a twist) while it felt somewhat familiar (reminded me of another book), the execution just didn't have the impact I was expecting.

She's Not Sorry isn't the kind of book that you can breeze through, thanks to its lengthy chapters. The ending felt rushed, predictable, and ultimately unsatisfying. I don't mean to sound too harsh, but it's safe to say that this isn't my favorite Mary Kubica book. However, I couldn't help but be curious about the ending, even if it was just to confirm my suspicions.

There are so many rave reviews, please take mine with a grain of salt.

My thanks to Park Row Books for a digital ARC in exchange for honest review.

This book was freaking FIRE. I loved it so much. Kubica just has a way of writing that draws you in and always keeps you guessing. You literally never know what you are going to get with every turn of the page. There were so many twists and I wasn't expecting the ending at all. I can't recommend this book enough.

Wow! This book did not go the way I expected it. I loved the twists and it really kept my interest up until the very end. The main character was relatable and interesting. The way her work life and her personal life connected was ….well you just will have to read it to find out! It was the first book I’ve read by this author although there are quite a few by her I want to read in the future. I’ve just moved them to the top of my list.

Another fantastic work by Kubica! Characters and settings were developed with precision. The edge-of-my seat narrative had me finishing this one in no time at all. As a super fan of all of Kubica's works, I will say this one didn't have the gasping twist I have come to expect, but the storyline was still dramatic and full of ethical and humanitarian themes. Highly recommend for all lovers of thrillers -- especially those who enjoy the lighter thrills or pallet cleanse after a heavy read.

I enjoy Kubicas books but this one fell a little short for me. I had trouble staying engaged but finished as I wanted to confirm what I had suspected. Not my favorite of her books.

Another nail biter from Mary Kubica.
She is the queen of twists and turns .
I will be recommending this book to all of my mystery customers.
