Really enjoyed this book. I can honestly say I didn’t see the biggest twist coming, but I was able to work out some of the subplots early. This author keeps the book fast-paced, and easy to read. She will continue to be a must read author for me!

You will not want to put this one down. The story is well developed and there are two story lines that are going on at one time. I enjoyed the mix up between the two to soften some of the more suspenseful moments. Overall a great read.

Whoa, another amazing thriller from Ms. Kubica! I can't count the number of times I gasped when I turned the page. The twists and turns are never ending. I loved every gasping, hold my breath minute. This is a magnificent story, and again - who do we trust. And, yes this is another pulse pounding thriller indeed! Thank you #NetGalley#ParkRow#She'sNotSorry

Amazingly written 4 star read once again by Mary Kubica! I'm constantly wondering what is going to happen next with all of her stories and this one was no different. Mary has done it again and I can't wait to recommend this to everyone I know!

I was immediately sucked in to this book, and I loved the twists and turns along the way. This was a thriller with multiple twists that I did not see coming. It's hard to write too much without spoilers, because so much of this book is intertwined!

She’s Not Sorry starts off slowly, describing an ICU nurse’s life: her work, family, and neighborhood. Then twists start appearing. I like twists as much as the next person, but felt bamboozled by the first one.

As I said, the book started slowly; then it ended with a rapid sense of occurrences and whiplash coincidences. It wasn’t my favorite Kubica novel, but I’m glad I read it.

I thoroughly enjoyed She's Not Sorry. It had everything a good murder mystery should have. It had twists and turns, it had mystique, and it was a who done it. The lead character, Meagan, was a nurse at a hospital. She had a daughter, Sienna, and an ex-husband, Ben.

One night, as Meagan is going to her divorce support group, she meets an old high school friend, Natalie. She's going to the support group too, but she's nervous. Meagan convinces her to go in. Everything goes as it should and Meagan wants to invite Natalie for coffee after so she can discuss it with her. But someone stops her and Natalie gets away. Later, Meagan finds Natalie on Facebook and messages her and invites her out for coffee. They meet and Nat tells her about her husband, Deagan. Megan notices a bruise on Nat's forehead. She doesn't say anything about it, but she assumes that Nat has been abused. Nat receives a text message and then notices that someone standing outside. At this point she tells Meagan that she has to leave and she gets up and flees.

Another time, Meagan sees Nat on the street and she has a busted lip and more bruises. Nat has told her that she staying with a friend. This time she tells her that the friend has asked her to leave. So Meagan invites her to stay at her apartment with her and her daughter. The next day Meagan goes to work and when she gets home Nat and all of her belongings are gone, along with Megan's wedding rings. Meagan knows that Nat has been receiving threatening text messages from her husband and she's worried about her. But she has no idea where to look for her. Nat has told her the name of the law firm where her husband works so Meagan goes there in search of him. When she gets there she learns that no one by that name works there.

At the hospital, Meagan is taking care of a patient named Caitlin who was pushed off of a bridge and survived. She meets Caitlin's parents in her brother. This is where all the twists and turns occur. It turns out that Nat is not who she says she is. She is, in fact, Caitlin. And by the way, Caitlin dies.

Luke is another nurse and a dear friend of Meagan's. He is married to Penelope who is pregnant and on bed rest. They're having problems, as Penelope thinks Luke is seeing another woman. All the while, there is a man who has been accosting women in their apartments when they're at home alone.


There are all sorts of twists and turns, one of them being that Ben is seeing a woman who turns out to be Caitlin. Towards the end of the book, The man who has been a costing women kidnaps Sienna and calls Meagan and tells her where to meet him. While Meagan is trying to negotiate with him, the police have gotten a tip and they show up and they kill the man. An ambulance takes Sienna to the hospital where it is learned that she has broken her ankle. Ben shows up at the hospital and he gives Meagan her wedding ring which he found in his apartment. It is assumed that Sienna brought it there.

All of the twists and turns had me devouring this book. There's one huge twist that has to do with Meagan. And Megan had told Nat that Ben was not Sienna's father, which she, as Caitlin, tells Sienna. But Meagan and Sienna decide they're not going to tell Ben. All in all, it was a wonderful book that kept me coming back from more. I gave it five stars.

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 will for sure read this one again and recommend to my friends! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review!

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!!!
