Mary Kubica never fails to write engaging psychological thrillers full of twists. (And no, I did not see that twist coming!) This one was a bit slow paced, but not boring--just more of a slower unraveling.

This book hooks you from the beginning and doesn’t let up! I read it in 24 hours. It keeps you guessing, rooting for the wrong team, and only gets better as you go

I really enjoyed this book but i think that the plot has some holes once we get to a major twist. Things just didn't quite match up to me. That being said, i quite liked our main character and enjoyed seeing things from her perspective. Mary Kubica always tells an intriguing story and this one is no exception. I don’t think I've read a book this fast in quite a while :)

This didn’t pull me in like I wanted it to. I really liked local woman missing, but I felt like this book was missing the fast-paced and good writing that pulled me in. The sentences were stunted and it didn’t flow for me.

Review Score: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Review: Mary Kubica has done it again–written a thriller that I just couldn’t put down (read it in two days!) Meghan Michaels is a recently divorced ICU nurse working to figure out life as a single Mom to a challenging teenage daughter. She is assigned to a patient, Caitlin, who plunged from a bridge to the train tracks below and Meghan can’t help but get close to Caitlin’s parents–even if they are a bit odd. An old high school friend also returns to Meghan’s life–and it’s a friend struggling with some problems of her own. Meghan needs to figure out her relationship with her ex-husband, figure out how to reconnect with her daughter, figure out why her friend is refusing help, and figure out what really happened to her patient. While I was somewhat disappointed in the resolution (can’t quite pinpoint why–seemed a bit rushed?), it was a book that kept my attention, so it was a good one.
*I was given a version of this book for free in exchange for an honest book review. The book will be released on 02 April 2024.

“She’s Not Sorry” is Mary Kubica’s newest book and one of my favorite reads this year! This book is a page turning, twisty thriller that kept me guessing until the end. This one had my heart racing at times. Highly recommend adding this to your TBR list! Thank you to NetGalley & publisher for the ARC!

Thank you to Net Gallery, Harlequin Trade Publication and Mary Kubica for this ARC . I was beyond thrilled to receive it as Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors and I have read every book she has written. I highly recommend this book.
I found myself rooting for the villain in this book before understanding who the villain was!
Meghan is trying to find balance between being a single parent and working as a full time nurse. One night while she is on duty a patient named Caitlin is brought in with a traumatic brain injury and other serious injuries after she jumped from a bridge.
Days later a witness comes forward with details that question if this was a suicide attempt or an attempted murder. Was she pushed? If so, why, and by who?
The book is divided into two parts told in Meghan’s POV. The storylines come together as the plot builds and twist!
This book blew me away, I loved it. A perfect 5 stars for me!

Thank you #Netgalley

Wow I did not see this one coming! Meghan is an ICU nurse, a single mother, and a woman of many secrets. When her small city begins to see a series of women being targeted and attacked, her paranoia begins to spiral. To top if off, at work she is assigned a case of a young girl who "jumped" off a bridge which makes her then worry even more than maybe this was not a suicide and part of the chain of attacks. Throughout the read we see Meghan connect with someone from her divorce support group, her co workers and of course her daughter. But in the end, who can she trust?

So good! Continue to love this author and her books.

Positives:
Perfect pacing, binged it in one sitting
Well executed interweaving of three twisty plot lines that made for a fascinating read!
Great unexpected twists that work
Many well-developed characters and the reader has reason to be suspicious of almost all of them


Negatives:
My only negative is the last 5% of the book seemed a bit rushed and unplausible, but I loved every minute up until then

I have already started telling my friends about this book and to be on the look out for it when it is released in spring of 2024. One of the best books I have read this year!

This was my first Mary Kubica book and won't be my last. That said, I almost DNFed it around 25% as I was distracted by typos (a lot of typos!); I'm so glad I didn't because the second half totally grabbed me. This eARC isn't scheduled to be released until April 2024, so I assume (hope) it'll go through another round of editing before its final release.

It's hard to write about this book without giving anything away. I audibly gasped after reading the first paragraph of Part II. I was completely surprised by a few twists and was trying to figure out how the story would unfold from the get go. Kubica does an excellent job of building suspense and creating complex characters. I look forward to reading more by her!

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review! This was a fun one!

Meghan Michaels is a nurse, working hard to support her daughter. She focuses on a patient named Caitlin and learns more about Caitlin's brain injury that she suffered from jumping off of a bridge. While everyone assumes that Caitlin jumped, some details emerge which may suggest that Caitlin was pushed. Meghan becomes quite intertwined in Caitlin's situation and experiences many heart-pounding moments. This book is a page-turner!

This book had my heart pounding! Mary Kubica is a master of creating suspense. She is able to intertwine multiple plot points do that you can never see the twists coming!

This is my fourth book by Mary Kubica. I love her writing style. She gets me hooked at the beginning of the story and I’m always surprised by the ending. I highly recommend Mary’s books.
I received this galley from NetGalley.

As a newly divorced single mom, Meghan Michaels works as an ICU nurse to provide for herself and her sixteen year old daughter Sienna. When a patient, who has allegedly jumped from a bridge in a suicide attempt, comes into her ICU on life support, Meghan uncovers a world of secrets, lies, and frightening facts that might be life or death.
Meghan is a stickler for rules and never brings her work home or lets herself get too close to her patients, but this time, the rules have been bent as she find herself in the middle of this patient’s whole entire world.

Meanwhile, there is a stalker in Meghan’s neighborhood terrorizing and attacking women who live alone making her commutes to work & back agonizing and suspenseful.

This queen of twists and suspense has done it again! Mary always leaves you turning pages faster than you eyes can read the page with her twisting tales and this book is no different! Like most of her books, I read it in less than 24 hours because I couldn’t put it down. If you like suspense, twists, and mind-thrilling reads, go ahead and do yourself a favor and add this to your TBR right NOW and preorder your copy!

The initial chapters of the book proved to be a challenge to immerse myself in. The pacing was slow, and the narrative seemed to tread water, making it hard to connect with the characters or discern the overarching plot. However, the perseverance pays off as the story gains momentum, revealing its true nature as a gripping psychological thriller.
The protagonist, Meghan Michaels, presents herself as a relatable single mom trying to strike a balance between her demanding career as an ICU nurse and the challenges of raising a teenage daughter. The turning point occurs when a seemingly routine case takes a sinister turn. Caitlin, a patient with a traumatic brain injury, becomes the focal point of a mystery that goes beyond a mere accident.

The narrative takes an unexpected twist when a witness comes forward, shattering the presumed circumstances surrounding Caitlin's fall. This revelation not only challenges Meghan's professional judgment but also plunges her into a web of deceit, manipulation, and danger. The author skillfully uses Meghan's emotional entanglement with Caitlin and her family to heighten the stakes, transforming the story into a heart-pounding thriller.

Just when it seems like the story is about to reach its climax, the author throws in another curveball. The twists come fast and furious, catching the reader off guard and adding layers of complexity to an already intricate plot. The book masterfully plays with the reader's expectations, keeping them on the edge of their seat.

Wow - this book was incredible! From page one, I was kept engaged and on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns. As an avid thriller reader, and huge Mary Kubica fan; I was very pleased with this entire book. I desperately seek out books that have plot twists that I don't see coming, and this book delivered. In my opinion, this is Mary Kubica's best one yet, and I highly recommend - 5 stars!

What a twisty and turbulent read!! When I picked up this book my mom asked me about it and when I told her the title she asked me who “She” was and I wasn’t completely sure - this book took me on such an adventure and I loved every minute. I predicted one of the grand reveals but was also surprised by others.

A fun ride - I could not put this book down! While some parts of the book seemed improbable, you cannot fault Kubica for the compulsively readable nature of this book. Perfect spring/beach read!

Meghan Michaels juggles her busy career as an ICU nurse with being a newly single parent to her teen daughter, Sienna. She is drawn to a new ICU patient, Caitlin, who attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge. What kind of person is Caitlin, now fragile and comatose, that led her to jump, when her family has rallied to support her? Although Meghan's training is to remain professional, she finds herself becoming invested in Caitlin's case, particularly when signs begin to point to Caitlin's fall coming from a push rather than a jump. In addition to being drawn into a potential murder investigation, there is also a man assaulting women in her neighborhood. Meghan's hours cause her to walk the streets at odd hours, and also leave Sienna, who keeps forgetting security precautions, alone. The entire novel is drenched in tension as the reader wonders if Meghan is truly in danger or just paranoid. An entertaining thriller with a few unexpected twists. I was given an advance ecopy for an honest review.

There were some great twists in this story that I definitely did not expect! I think this is one of the best books I have read in a while. I highly recommend it.
