This was a nice, quick read and hooked me back into reading as I've been in a bit of a slump. I did predict the twists but it was still an enjoyable read and in the first half, it was fun guessing how everything was related. I just read too many thrillers!

She’s Not Sorry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meghan is a single mom and an ICU nurse. She’s good at her job but tries to stay emotional detached to her patients for her own mental health. But when one lady comes in with a traumatic brain injury, after jumping off a bridge, she’s drawn to her and her family. She tries to understand what would make her want to jump. After a witness comes in, they learn that she didn’t jump but she was pushed. This opens up all kinds of questions about what really happened. There’s a killer on the loose and Meghan realizes that she and her daughter could be the next victims.

This was a suspenseful, fast paced, mystery thriller. There were so many twist that I didn’t see coming. I thought I had it figured out and then I didn’t. It did have a few mysteries going on at the same time but they all came together at the end. And that ending… kinda leaves you hanging a little.

This book comes out on April 2, 2024. Be sure to add it to your TBR list on Goodreads!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trading Publishing for my arc copy. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When ICU nurse, Meghan, is assigned a patient that had a failed suicide attempt, she finds herself letting herself get too close to the family. When a strange man comes to the ICU that claims he is a friend of the woman, the police begin to investigate the possibility that she was pushed instead.
Meghan is also on edge because a serial rapist is attacking women between her home and the hospital. Meghan meets an old high school friend, recently divorced as well. Her friend seems to be being abused by her husband and Meghan tries to help her. Could all of these things somehow be tied together?
This book pulled me in quick during the prelude. It never slowed down from there. While I had some suspicions early on and some others during my reading, only some of them were right and those suspicions kept me intrigued. Another great novel from Mary Kubica!

Holy heck. I’ve always loved every Mary Kubica book I’ve read. This book. This one- whole other level.

My mouth was open for a solid minute with that first huge twist. And the last quarter of the book, the carousel kept spinning. Twist after twist. This book kept me on my toes. It’s so creepy. The dual timelines- All the character plots all simultaneously going on at once. Incredible. I devoured this book. I read 70% of this book in 1 sitting that’s how attached I got to the storyline.

I’m obsessed. This is Mary Kubica best book thus far. Every single one she releases somehow manages to get better and better.

You need to read this ASAP!

Thank you so much NetGalley and Harlequin for allowing me to read this in advanced in exchange for my honest opinion.

HOLY PLOT TWIST.

I am a huge Mary Kubica fan and it's safe to say I LOVED She's Not Sorry. I was sucked in from the start and didn't have the slightest idea how it would end. The storyline flowed well with a bit of a slow burn for the first 60%... and then BAM! The last chunk of the book was a wild ride of suspense that led up to a great finale. If you love a great thriller with a plot twist that leaves you speechless, you're not going to want to miss She's Not Sorry.

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row, and Mary Kubica for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest opinion!

This is not my first Mary Kubica book and it won’t be my last! Kubica always does a great job of adding twists and turns around every corner and this book is no different! This thriller/mystery starts as a SLOW burn with quite a bit going on. We learn about a mad man attacking women throughout the city of Chicago, we meet Nat, an abused wife that our main character, Meghan, finds herself drawn to, wanting to help her. We learn about a woman falling off a bridge. There were quite a few story lines (with a lot of detail) happening within the one main story and I found it slightly hard to follow at first. But as the story goes on, we see the multiple story lines come together and the characters develop!

Mary always does a fantastic job adding extra twists into the story line and those twists always end up being the perfect addition. I really liked that we got a major plot twist around 75% of the way thru the book. Knowing I still had quite a bit of book left gave me a lot to look forward to while reading!

Over all 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 since there were still pieces to the story that didn’t quite make sense/fit together, but in the end, the story wrapped up nicely! I don’t know how Kubica was able to tie in most of the different story lines, but in the end she came thru! I can’t wait to read what Kubica comes up with next!

Meghan is a nurse in the ICU and is overseeing a patient in a coma. Meghan is divorced with a teenage daughter. There are two different stories here, Meghan's old friend from high school and how they catch up from the past, plus the woman in the coma.

This book is divided into two parts, told in Meghan's POV. The two storylines do came together and the plot is very twisted! I love this author and highly recommend all of her books! Twisted, Chilling Thriller and Deeply Entangled! 4 stars!

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the advance copy! This book will be a hit when it is released in April 2024.

Mary Mary Mary… you always twist so good. 🤯
This has to be one of my new favorites of yours next to local woman missing.

This book is full of twists and turns as an ICU nurse uncovers the mystery behind her patient. I am always a sucker for a twist I didn’t see coming!
I have to also commend you in your medical accuracy. As a physician I tend to dread when people try to put medical information in to their books as it tends to be pretty inaccurate. I can tell you did your research because you did a great job! Props to your resources!!

I think there were a few loose ends i would have loved to have tied up but overall this book was so great!!
I predict this book will be very popular once published.

I received this book as an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks to the author and publisher for this opportunity.

This book is a super sloooooow start and build up…but just enough suspense to keep you going.

Great character development and plenty of plot twists along the way.

The fine details can be a bit distracting and I admit I skipped through some of these to get to the good stuff…and there is plenty of good stuff in this story.

I was super stoked to get this arc! I will first say I love Mary Kubica so i basically tore into this one!
It definitely a slow burn thriller, but it’s 100% worth the wait. All the twists and turns, the fact that the characters are all mysterious was a huge plus for me. I could not put it down once I started and will be buying a copy once released!
This became an easy favorite.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of master of suspense Mary Kubica’s newest thriller, She’s Not Sorry. The title alone makes it a must read, but just wait until you get hooked on page one of this multilayered story.

Meghan is an ICU nurse with a patient who is in a coma after falling from a desolate bridge…. but did she jump or was she pushed? As the suspect list grows, Meghan is also dealing with a sassy teenage daughter, an anonymous hate mail sender, and a mysterious and dangerous con artist. There are so many twists and turns that readers should wear a seat belt….and be prepared to stay up all night with this thrill ride that gives new meaning to unputdownable.

Thank you to Net Galley, Harlequin Trade Publishing/ Park Row and Mary Kubica for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this books. 4 stars. It hits you with twists and turns that you will not see coming. My only hesitation for not giving it 5 stars was some unanswered loose ends at the end of the story.

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse. Her and her ex-husband share custody of their 16 year old daughter Sienna. Her newest patient is a young woman, Caitlin who jumped from a bridge trying to kill herself. She finds herself learning more about Caitlin through her family members who have gathered at her bedside. Soon after Meghan reports a strange man lurking about, it is revealed that maybe someone pushed her.

Meghan also has her hands full with a Nat, a former high school classmate who seems to be in an abusive relationship. Can she help her escape her husband?

There is also a man killing women on the loose close to where Meghan and Sienna live. No one in the city is safe and every character seems suspicious.

Are any of these events connected? Who can you trust? This fast paced thriller will keep you guessing up until the final pages.

This is a thriller that I had really high hopes for being that I have read others thrillers from this author and loved them but to me this book was just ok. Its a very slow burn and I prefer my books to be fast pace page turners. The story is also way tooooo wordy and descriptive. Meaning that this book could have been at least 50+ pages less. At around 60% of the way through is when this book began to picked up. The story began to tie together and I really liked it. The plot twist was good. The main character Meghan was likable even when I was yelling at her lol. She's a single mom who works full time as a nurse. She tries her best to have a balance while helping an old friend from high school. We all know how shady these old friends can be. I would only recommend this novel to people who prefer a slow build up. I give it a solid 3.5

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC!

Super twisty, quick read, kept me wanting to know what in the world was going on!

The first half of the book there was a lot of different things going on, and I had no idea where it was going. The last half, I never would’ve guessed anything that happened.

Lots going on, untrustworthy characters, lots of twists, highly recommend!!

She does it again! 👏🏼 Local Woman Missing is one of my favourite thrillers of all time so any Kubica book that has come out after has big shoes to fill, but this was amazing.

It was the type of story that you have no idea where it’s headed and you can’t put it down. It follows Meghan, an ICU nurse who gets a little bit too close to a patient and her family and gets herself involved in the darkness that surrounds them. The entire book is full of twists and turns and genuinely had me guessing until the end. I love when a story is complex and all over the place, leading you down different paths, and the end pulls everything together and you’re left with your jaw on the floor and this fully delivered on that! Fully worth the pre-order!!

This was a pretty solid thriller that had a twist that reminded me of the first time I read Gone Girl. Some of the other twists were more predictable, though. It took a while to really pick up, but when it did, it REALLY picked up. Everything happened really fast around the 60% mark.

Overall, I would give this a 4/5. The beginning was very slow but the big reveal made up for it. I liked the ending in theory, but wish it would have been written a little more vague and ominous.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Had me audibly gasping until the very end! So many twists and surprises! If you are a fan of Mary Kubica’s previous books, you will only be delighted by her newest book.

A slow burn suspense with a lot going on.
The main storyline was intriguing and lands an unexpected twist. Unfortunately wading through the rest of the narrative was slow going; most of the other subplots were either easily anticipated or ended abruptly without resolution. The novel felt as if it should’ve been two separate books and more time could’ve been spent on character development rather than creating a mini thriller inside of a suspense and another storyline that was just going to be abandoned three-quarters of the way through. I really wanted to like this but it just didn’t hit the mark.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the ARC
