This was a super quick read! Nothing in this story is what you’d think. I was worried for most of the book, waiting for what I knew was about to happen! And I still wasn’t prepared for the twisty turns this thriller took!

I love Mary Kubica, and She's Not Sorry might be one of her best novels yet! There were so many non-stop twists, and the clinical and eerie hospital setting was the perfect fall thriller for me. There are so many plot threads that come together in the end, and are absolutely amazing! Such addictive writing, you won't want to put this one down.

Loved Mary Kubica’s newest mystery! It’s full of twists and turns and will keep you guessing until the end. Her books never disappoint and She’s Not Sorry is my new favorite!

Another twisty story where you can’t trust anyone. Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors and this latest novel did not disappoint. If thrillers that have multiple story lines are your jam, then this book is for you.

There were a few unfinished story lines with a few of the characters that I wish would have been addressed, maybe they will be in the final release? Other than that I really enjoyed reading this and it was a solid 4 stars!

This story is a wild ride with so many twists and turns it will make your head spin. Meghan Michaels is a divorced mother and ICU nurse. She is caring for a patient who fell from, a bridge. Meghan is close to her co-workers especially another nurse Luke. The story moves from the past to the present piecing together Megan's story. Along with Megan's story, there is someone in the city, attacking women.

As the story unfolds, the tension increases keeping me on the edge of my seat until the shocking ending. A must-read for suspense and Mary Kubica fans.

Very slow burn. I feel if certain information would have came to light more towards the beginning of the book, that this would have been more interesting of a read and more of a thriller. Only that last maybe 100 pages were interesting and it seemed the author had to tie up the loose ends very quickly. I wasn't capitavated but if you are a fan of her books it might be worth the read for you.

4.5 ★ Say hello to the thriller that just pulled me out of an oncoming slump. Well-written, fast-paced, short chapters and no clue how everything is going to weave together = perfection. This grabs your attention from the opening scene and leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire ride. Not to mention, the twists and turns this took rocked me.

Half a star off only because I feel like we have some unfinished business with a couple of characters and I'm a girlie that needs answers.

Thank you, NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this eARC!

Mary did it again! This book contained everything that I look for in a thriller- likeable characters who you don’t know if you can trust, a secret backstory, and a jaw dropping twist (or two!). This book was atmospheric and kept me on edge. I couldn’t put this one down!

I have been a Mary Kubica fan for quite some time but this book definitely takes the cake. I was hooked from the very first chapter. Throughout the entire book I was constantly trying to guess and pinpoint what’s going to happen next. Once I hit 3/4 of the way through, each chapter I was getting hit with unpredictable and gasp-worthy twists one after another. Now having reached the end I’m still in awe of her plot twists, character development and the relationships between the main characters. I could have never predicted the ending, even now knowing how it ends, I STILL would not be able to pick up on any clues to help me guess the twists that were to come. This book will have me thinking about it days after I’ve finished. Well done Mary Kubica, once again!!! Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this fantastic ARC.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. This new release from Mary Kubica is full of twists and turns, but I can tell it still needs a lot more editing and I’d be curious to see what changes are made ahead of the pub date in April. I do not think it makes sense that Meghan pushed Nat/Caitlin or that she entirely killed her and that she then sociopathically never is held accountable or holds herself accountable (she ultimately admits what Luke did was worse than what his abusive father did… well what about you dude?). And then we learn absolutely nothing about her after the fact. There was no explanation for the roommate telling Meghan to watch out for Caitlin’s parents, nothing came out of that. There was no explanation for why Caitlin sought Meghan out to begin with. It is more than bizarre that Meghan would mistake someone at least ~15 years younger than her for an old high school friend, unless there should ultimately be some sort of explanation about appearance similarities. The story is about Caitlin and then all of a sudden it’s not. I think the story was definitely addicting and has great potential but I’m certainly wondering what the final product will be like!

This book was so twisty and thrilling, I could not put it down! Old friends crossing paths and crazy hospital happenings kept me on my toes. Will be recommending this novel to all my thriller lover friends!!

At first I wasn’t really into it. It started pretty slow and I think it just bothered me that I wasn’t catching on to anything. Well I kept reading and then everything just unfolded about 70% through. I DID not see that double twist coming at all!! Really enjoyed and loved this one and highly recommend it! Im going to skip giving a summary on this one because I feel like it really just needs to be read going in blind!

I have been a fan of Mary Kubica since I read Pretty Baby years ago. However, She's Not Sorry does not live up to the magic of Pretty Baby. In fact, this has to be my least favorite Kubica book I've ever read. While I appreciate a good twisty thriller, this book felt ,more like 3 different ideas pasted together with the hope that the reader will find cohesion. I was about 50% into the book before the plot even began to match the summary found on the back of the book., and even then it didn't match It was even further along when I realized that a portion of the book was taking place in the past. There were 2 side plots going on with no resolution to 1 and the 2nd was so hurried and I questioned what this subplot had to do with the story at all. This book isn't due out until April and I would highly encourage some re-writing before putting this book to press.

I was so excited to get the opportunity to read the next Mary Kubica book! I have been a fan of hers since I read The Good Girl.

I enjoyed the concept of She’s Not Sorry, but it was just missing something for me. I thought it all abruptly ended and it left a lot of unanswered questions. I felt some parts of the story could have been developed more and some parts left out. I do think this one will be super popular and I recommend others read it, especially if they’ve been a fan of her past works. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is one of those thrillers that pulls you in on the first page and as you read you don’t know how all the pieces are going to fit together. It gave off so many creepy vibes as I always felt that someone was lurking behind every corner. I liked how you weren’t sure who to trust as who was being honest and who was lying.

The serial killer was easy to figure out but it didn’t detract from the story. I liked how there were so many different things going on at once.

Meghan is a single divorced mom who is a nurse. She is struggling to balance work and home life.

There were some things that didn’t get answered in the book and I usually like everything explained and that bothered me.

Thank you Netgalley and Park Row for the e-galley.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. I've heard great things about this book but at 30% i gave up. I was bored out of my mind. I might give it another try before it's release date. If so I'll update my review.

Mary Kubica has written some of my very favorite books, and this one did not disappoint. You know those books that have you sneaking out your phone at any moment of free time, just so you can sneak in even one page? This book had that affect on me. I didn't guess the plot twist or ending and I loved that it has several "holy cow" moments throughout. It's definitely a book to add to your list next year when it comes out.
Thank you so much to netgalley and to the author for allowing me to review such a page-turner!

This book was nothing like I have ever read before! I was really interested right away and read the first ½ of the book in one sitting. I could not put it down. There are almost 2 separate stories within Meghan’s life going on at once and I loved how the narrative switched between the 2 stories. She’s Not Sorry follows Meghan, her ex husband Ben, & their daughter Sienna. Meghan is a nurse who gets tasked with caring for a suicide attempt patient. You follow her journey at work caring for her patient as well as her home life trying to navigate her recent divorce, daughter, and an old friend that came back into her life. There is never a dull moment in that first ½.

If you like thrillers that have multiple different story lines going at once that all come together in the end, you’ll really enjoy reading this book. The characters are very lovable and you will find yourself rooting for all of them throughout the story as well as questioning all of them. I felt this book was more of a “slow burn” type of thriller and I generally prefer more “fast-paced” thrillers. If you’re into the slow burn, I definitely recommend you pick this one up!

The 2nd ½ of this book took me almost 6 days to finish. I found that about 50% through 90% was slow compared to the first 50%. There are 3 different twists in this book and I had 2 of them guessed pretty early on. One of the twists I was pretty surprised by and really got the “thriller” vibes from.
