Initially this was a slow burn for me, but once I hit 60% I absolutely knew there was no way I was putting the book down until it was finished.
I thoroughly enjoyed the twists, and would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Solid four stars. I was reading this at a restaurant and my jaw was dropped for 45 seconds after the big reveal. Kubica is such a skilled writer that I feel dumb for not predicting it. Although I was half right about the ending. I would have given five stars if the resolution is it relates to the patient’s family was better explained. They aren’t really addressed at the end. (I don’t want to give too much away)

Mary Kubica's storytelling prowess shines through in "She's Not Sorry." When ICU nurse Meghan gets a new patient who has suffered a terrible and near fatal fall, she soon discovers that the accident may have been a push rather than a fall. As Meghan stumbles upon more information, she tries to balance raising her own teenage daughter and navigating a recent divorce.

One of the strengths of this novel is its ability to keep readers guessing. Just when you think you've figured it all out, Kubica throws another twist into the mix, leaving you astounded and reevaluating your assumptions. The suspense and tension are palpable throughout, making it nearly impossible to put the book down.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A psychological thriller...Slow Burn-Twisty but... no surprises.

Meghan is trying to find a balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full-time nurse. While on duty at the hospital one day, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge and plunged over twenty feet to the train tracks below. There is also a man raping and killing women in the area, definitely a creepy setting clinic.

It's not just about who committed the act, but the reason behind it. The author made sure everything fell into place and didn’t get confusing for the reader. While you're reading this story you are going to be coming up with several different theories as to why happened, and who is this man doing these horrendous crimes. I love thrillers/mysteries where there are hidden details the whole time.

Thank you, NetGalley -Parks Row and Mary Kubica for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

Meaghan Michaels is a single mom with a teenager, who works as an ICU nurse. One day she is assigned to a coma patient, who is thought to have jumped from a bridge.

As is her practice, Meghan tries to remain detached from her patient, but finds herself spending more and more time with the patient and her family; becoming more emotionally attached to them as time goes on.

When a witness to the fall comes forward, the hunt is on for a potential culprit. At the same time, the city is also on the hunt for a serial rapist. Could these two cases be related? Is Meghan or her daughter at risk?

Lots of twists and turns in this one. A thriller that kept me hooked till the end. I give She’s Not Sorry a solid 4 stars.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC!

The book was extremely easy to follow and read. The story follows Meghan, a nurse, who is taking care of a patient that has all of the staff talking in the hospital. Along the way we get to know more about her struggles with her divorce, raising her daughter, and her growing anxiety and paranoia over the recent news that there is a man attacking women on the streets.

I was captivated the entire time although I wish that there was a bit less depth in directions and the sights around Meghan. It seemed almost street by street and it got lost on me because I don't know the area anyways. Instead maybe focusing more on giving us a bit more personality and information about Meghan.

Figured out a really early who the man was that was attacking the women and maybe a little more mystery around that would've been nice.

Mary Kubica does no wrong! She is an auto buy and an auto read author for me. I loved this one and will be highly recommending!

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is a twisty thriller that does not disappoint. Meghan Michael’s, an ICU nurse and single mom, discovers some chilling secrets about a new patient she is caring for.
I could not put this book down and finished it in one day. The suspense and twists were fantastic. The main character was so relatable and I was rooting for her the entire book. Mary Kubica’s imagery in her writing allowed me to visualize exactly how each scene looked and felt as it played out.

I’m really surprised the ratings are so high for this. This was not one of my favorite books of hers. I thought the twists were interesting but I found my self skimming chapters of the book toward the end.

Meghan Michaels is a loving mom and nurse who finds herself in a tough predicament after opening her home up to a friend in need who is trying to distance herself from an abusive spouse. She believes the woman is a friend she knew in high school and the two of them meet again after many years as both of them are going to a divorce support group.

Two alternating story lines have Meghan immersed in both until a dramatic finish brings both her professional and personal life crashing together. Nothing and no one is who them seem in this thrilling plot as Meghan tries to protect herself and her daughter from the people that seem to be out to get them.

This book was brilliant. So many twists and the plot was so compelling. This will be one talked about as the finish was nothing I expected. My jaw dropped many times in this book. The beginning of the book was a slow burn for me. It took me awhile to get in to the plot. About halfway through the story line really takes off and by the end I was furiously swiping each page to figure out how it would all play out. I loved this book. My only negative criticism is that for as slow as the plot developed the ending seemed rushed. The story came to a crashing halt and while the epilogue does finish out the story nicely, I wanted more. There were several loose ends not explored. Meghan seems to get off scot free for what she did; however there is no follow through on what became of Caitlyn’s family or their reaction to Meghan’s mistake. They were a big part of the plot for a good portion of the book, and I felt the ending left some questions unanswered. Still a fantastic story with a twist in the timeline of things I was not expecting. Solid 4 star read.

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse, she recently divorced her husband, and has a teenage daughter. She is caring for a patient who is in a coma after falling off a bridge. Just when you think you know what is going to happen in this thriller, there is an unexpected twist. Mary Kubica was brilliant in the way she wrote this book! I'm so grateful I was chosen to read, and make an early review of this book.

Mary cannot write a bad book in my eyes, I've loved each and every once of them .I honestly feel like this was the most twistiness book of hers yet Complete with a clinically creepy hospital setting and an entire cast of characters you cannot trust, every page is steeped in a sense of deep, debilitating dread. This book gave me whiplash with the sheer number of twists. This is a heart-throbbing thriller that I couldn't put down as soon as I was hooked from the first page. The well-executed mysteries keep you on the edge of your seat, making your stomach churn, your nails bitten, your throat constricted, your heart beating faster, and your hyperventilation score hitting the roof.

Wooooweee…okay, I was wrong!

I started this book and felt like it was so many different threads there was no way all of this would seamlessly mesh together to a conclusive ending. I was dead wrong.

While I found the beginning slow, and like I was missing some sort of pivotal plot point, the last 1/3rd of the book had me on my toes!

Wild ending and like…how much can one person take…Meghan has baaaad luck!

Super good! Will be reading more of Kubica

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for and advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really liked this book. It’s hard to compare, as Local Woman Missing was AMAZING, but this one also kept me on the edge of my seat. It started a bit slow in my opinion and some of the twists were predictable but overall I would still recommend!

From the Prologue to the epilogue I was hooked. Mary Kubica knows how to sink her teeth in and not let go. Meghan Michaels works hard to provide for her teenage daughter as an ICU nurse. When an overpass jumper is brought in comatose and clinging to life she is reminded of her deceased sister. Bringing up more of her past is Nat, an old high school friend she has lost touch with. Tensions grow more when a witness comes forward and says the jumper, Caitlin, may have been pushed. Could she be part of a rash of attacks on women in the area?
In my opinion, this is Mary Kubica expressing the fears that women face everyday from walking alone at night to domestic violence. Kubica paints a picture that most of us know all too well and Michaels is immediately relatable. This is extremely well written, fast paced, and unpredictable. You will not be disappointed with this one at all. 5/5

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of “She’s Not Sorry” in exchange for an honest review. There was not anything new or revolutionary about this. It’s a quick read that it perfect for binging on a cold weekend. None of the twists were very twisty and the characters felt pretty interchangeable with other thriller novels. It was okay. I enjoyed the setting of the novel and how the descriptions of place played so heavily in the narrative.

I could not put this book down! It was a heart-throbbing thriller and I was hooked from the first page. It kept me on the edge of my seat. There were so many little twists and loopholes that kept me guessing to the very end.
