Mary Kubica does it again! A truly twisty tale! Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse who works with a TBI patient, Caitlin. As the story unfolds, Meghan has done a great job staying out of her patients personal lives until now.....

A quick read with chilling twists you don't see coming.

Wow!!! This book was a wild and crazy fun ride. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I didn’t expect any of the plot twists and they were all such a surprise. I loved reading this book just as much as I have enjoyed her other books. Thank you so much for the advance opportunity to read before publication date.

Kubica did a great job keeping the tension thrumming throughout this fast-paced book.

Meghan, the protagonist, is a relatively newly divorced single mom who works as an intensive care nurse when a girl who everyone assumes attempted suicide by jumping from a bridge is bought in. Between taking care of her patients, her daughter, and a friend from high school whose friendship has recently rekindled, Meghan worries about a series of attacks that have been terrorizing Chicago. There are plenty of threats, both real and imagined that Meghan worries about, making it hard for the reader to know what is real and what is red herring. It kept me on my toes trying to anticipate where the story was going, and I enjoyed the ride.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book was so full of twists and turns. I read a lot of thrillers, and I thought I had this one pretty much figured out by 70% in. Turns out, I did not. Kidnapping, murder, multiple suspects. It had everything needed to hold my interest from start to finish. Loved it!

Just as soon as I thought I’d figured it out, which I had, here comes another twist. I love a twisty mystery thriller, and this is centered around Meghan, an ICU nurse, caring for a comatose patient. This is a nice and quick read for thriller lovers.

Mary does it again… for most of the book, I was wondering where the plot was going and what was going on… when it hit 70%, I threw my kindle, gasped, and raced to the end. The last 30% of the book was crazy and chaotic. My heart was racing. I only predicted one of the several twists. What a wild ride.

Mary Kubica wrote a thriller that held my attention throughout this twisty tale. Meghan is a single mom and an ICU nurse trying to keep a balance in her everyday life. Dealing with her teenage daughter, her ex husband, and her ICU patient causes her extreme stress. This is a great book that I will be enthusiastically recommending! Well written!

!!! I really enjoyed this book! I’ve stayed up much too late reading it because I had to know how it ended. This story of a nurse who is very guarded in life and work gets swept up into a volatile and confusing situation. I was so uneasy while reading this and there was a huge twist I was not expecting. Check this out. It’s fast paced and kept my heart pumping.

The incredible story of an ICU nurse, Meagan who is treating a patient who has fallen from a bridge in Chicago and survived but is sustained in a coma. It's an incredulous story and soon the police begin to investigate suspecting that she may have been pushed.

Meagan is dealing with the patient's family, suspicious visitors, and trying to raise a teenage daughter while crimes are occurring closer and closer to her home apartment.

This story did not disappoint!!! I gasped out loud multiple times while reading and the twists were SHOCKING! I highly recommend this book, it got me out of my reading slump. I'm excited to go back and find more books by Kubica that I've missed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read She's Not Sorry in exchange for an honest review.

I loved how the author pulled me in to the story, using interesting characters and a fast-paced storyline. The plot went in unexpected directions and I couldn't get enough. Will be recommending as a great Summer 2024 beach read.

This is her best book yet. The book reads easily, and interest is piqued at the very beginning. All the characters are engaging and they will keep you guessing. This one was a shocker for me. Great read!

This book blew me away! I did not see the twist coming, it was a doozy! Mary Kubica's books never disappoint, and this one was no exception!

I've read ALL of author Mary Kubrica's books, and yet this latest one, "She's Not Sorry" just blew me away, it was really good & kept me quite engrossed. I so enjoyed this story of Meghan, an ER nurse and recently divorced mom, whose world changes when a new patient, Caitlin, is brought to her hospital in a coma after suffering from a TBI. What happened on the bridge? I also really appreciated the medical aspects of this one - lots of research time must have gone into that part. Really enjoyed. My sincere thanks to the publisher & Net Galley for the complimentary DRC- my sincere pleasure to review it & award all the stars!!!

"She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica is a thrilling rollercoaster of a read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The story revolves around Meghan Michaels, a single mom and dedicated nurse, whose life takes a dark and unexpected turn when she becomes involved with a mysterious patient named Caitlin.

Kubica's storytelling is top-notch, and she masterfully weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue. The plot takes unexpected twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing and constantly questioning the true nature of the events. I absolutely loved the twists and turns in the story. Each revelation added layers to the mystery and left me second-guessing my assumptions.

What truly sets this book apart is the depth of character development. Meghan is a relatable protagonist who struggles with the balance between her demanding job and her responsibilities as a mother. Her emotional journey and her evolution throughout the story are beautifully portrayed. I found myself rooting for her as she unwittingly became entangled in Caitlin's life, and the suspenseful build-up to the realization that her own safety and her daughter's might be at risk had me eagerly turning the pages.

Mary Kubica is a must-read author for me, and this book solidified that sentiment. Her writing style is engaging and immersive, making it easy to connect with the characters and become absorbed in the plot. The pacing is spot on, with just the right amount of tension and revelations to keep you engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

I'm giving it four stars instead of five because I felt that the resolution, though satisfying, could have been a tad more complex and complete. Nonetheless, this is a gripping read that will keep you up late at night, and I eagerly look forward to Kubica's future works.

I absolutely loved this book! I was really drawn to the story and kept turning the pages. Job well done.

I normally love Mary Kubica books but, She’s not sorry, was definitely a slow burn for me. I found it packed full of unnecessary information that were meant for character development but left me feeling as if it were just put in to take up space in the pages. I will definitely try the next one because I usually love her writing style. Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC copy in exchange for an honest review!

Meghan Michaels is a divorced ICU nurse and mom to a teenage daughter. Her life is chatoic. It gets even more chaotic when Caitlin, a patient, is admitted to the hospital Meghan works at. Caitlin suffered a severe injury from a fall of the bridge. Did she jump or was she pushed?

Seriously, the amount of plot twists this book took was not what I was expecting! I thought I had it figured out for a good chunk, but then, BAM! Not so much!

It kept my interest for the entire book and I read it super quickly because I was so engaged! You HAVE to read She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica!!!

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a chance to read an early digital copy of this book. I get very excited every time I see that Mary Kubica has a new book coming out. I have been a fan of hers since before my bookstagram days, and she was on the of the first authors I read when I got into reading thrillers as an adult. Her newest doesn't come out until next year, but I was way too excited to read it, so I went ahead and downloaded it and read it this weekend. There were things I really enjoyed about the book and there were a few things that left me a little confused. I thought the book was very fast paced and overall, it was entertaining. There were a few storylines that didn't really seem to go anywhere, and it kind of felt like they just added unnecessary pages to the story. For example, Caitlin's brother, and how he lied about when he arrived in town. There was also the stuff with Ben at the end that didn't really go anywhere. However, overall, like I said, this was entertaining and Mary Kubica continues to be one of my favorites.
