This is my third book by this author, the first two were Local Woman Missing and Just The Nicest Couple, I enjoyed them and recommend as well.

The prologue hooked me, but then it just got a little slow for me. I almost did not finish this book, but I kept on and am glad that I did! After my hurdle, the ending of part one and all of part two of the book intensified with twist after twist that just kept me on the edge of my seat. I literally could not read fast enough to figure out what was going to happen next. To be honest, this is one of the few books that has given me that intense feeling where you are drawn in and are like a part of the book itself. All of the reveals were executed at the right moments and made this a great thriller.

I have a nursing background so I could relate to this book and Meghan where you get emotionally attached to your patients and/or their family members, even though you are taught not to, but it is inevitable. Meghan's instinct is to try and help and protect, but some of her decisions were questionable, which leads to an even better story.

Over all, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend. Thank you Park Row and NetGally for my advanced copy!

I had difficulty getting into this book and staying with it. I felt like it was prolonged paced. I've read Mary Kubica books before and enjoyed them. I almost didn't finish the book but I was glad I did. There is a twist at the end and I didn't see it coming.

One woman fighting for her life in an ICU bed, one woman being manipulated, one woman with a secret, one woman living a double life… but who is who? I loved the medical overtones and twists/turns. Great psychological thriller!!

She’s Not Sorry
Mary Kubica

This book is so thrilling and exciting to read and a plus for a nurse main character. Kubica really got the Critical Care setting and the lingos of the ICU nurse right which helps not to distract from the main story line. I was so surprised with how the story turned out and the weaving of the stories - jaw drop for sure!

Excellent read and five solid stars ⭐️

Mary Kubica’s masterfully explores the familial and romantic relationships, personal trauma, truth, and redemption in this book.

I was hooked from the first page and it kept me guessing until the very end.

The story centers on Meghan, a nurse whose life takes a turn when she is assigned a new patient at work - a woman in a coma, whose story we start to learn through family members and friends who visit her.

The story evolves and unfolds slowly throughout the book which I felt was *perfect* for this type of story. We get crumbs and bit by bit I kept needing to turn the page to get more! I did not want to put this book down.

Although we get the impression not everyone is to be trusted in the story, I felt a strong pull to Meghan. I liked her story, I felt empathy for her struggles and I honestly was ready to be in her corner. I found her character to be extremely well written.

I loved the twists the book took. I did not expect the ending!

Definitely one I recommend for anyone out there who loves a good thriller or mystery book.

I will definitely be reading more from Mary Kubica in future!!

I really want to like her books, but there always seems to be a moment or two when she completely loses me. This book was the same way; I loved all the twists and turns, and something totally unnecessary was added that threw it off.

4.5 stars.

This book had all the suspense and was so good! The pace of the story was just like Local Girl Missing, giving you a glimpse into several characters and building up the plot. I liked that it was the parts of the story were past and present, I feel like it really added to the suspense and making the connections. I definitely wasn't expecting who one of the bad guys was, but it was such a great twist. Highly recommended this book.

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row, and author Mary Kubica for this gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book had a lot of twists and turns and I liked it, but sometimes it felt like there were too many "shocking reveals" to the point that it wasn't as effective anymore. It was an interesting read and definitely held my attention, but in the end, I feel like some of the outcomes just weren't as plausible as I would have liked.

Meghan is a recent divorcee, with a teenage daughter at home, who works as a nurse in the local hospital ICU. 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 plunging over twenty feet to the train tracks below. But when a witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin pushed and if so, by whom and why?

Meghan tries to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time, she feels more connected. To the patient and to her family that comes to the hospital to see Caitlin. At the same time, an old friend of Meghan's comes back into her life, and she has a world of baggage that she brings with her as well. Meeting at the divorce support group, Natalie has an abusive ex-husband and she is trying to make a break from him. Meaghan wants to be there to support her friend and finds herself entangled in Natalie's world soon as well. With so many different storylines going at once, the question becomes, how will they all connect? It's never the way you'd think....

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an okay thriller but it didn't live up to the hype that is Mary Kubica. I found the plot a little bit confusing at times and unbelievable. There were twists and turns but I found them somewhat predictable. I will continue to read Mary Kubica as she has delivered in the past.

I’m rating this book a 3 but I’d say it’s more of a 3.5 for me. While I very much appreciate my name finally being featured as a primary character’s and spelled correctly - there was a bit too many things happening in this story for it to have the same OMG impacts that the author was striving to achieve.

My husband actually read this before me and I oftentimes had to verbalize all the different characters and potential conflicts to him to keep everything straight.

I am curious what my fellow thriller/mystery readers think of the different elements included in his story compared to her other work. I am eager to try more from this author.

A fantastic thriller with twists and turns throughout. The story changes direction at the drop of a pin and you'll be on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens next! Definitely recommended!

This was decent but might have been a case of wrong book wrong time. I think I'm just not in my thriller era right now. Definitely delivered on the twists in typical Kubica fashion.

Wow what a great book! This was a fast read and I enjoyed every second of it! Did not see the ending to Part One coming and was absolutely shocked. I would recommend this one to anyone, especially to those in a book club because this makes the perfect book to discuss with others! Read this one as soon as you can!!

Mary Kubica is BACK and BETTER THAN EVER. It’s no secret that I’ve been in a funk with mysteries and suspense novels over the past year, but I think She’s Not Sorry cured me and perhaps sent me into a book hangover! Yes, all the reviews of that whiplash of a twist are spot on. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up immediately; you won’t be sorry!

I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. There are a few authors that I just keep reading their books, even though their writing and I just aren't meant for one another. I keep hoping the next one will change my mind. This is one of those authors, and this wasn't one of those books.

This book is painstakingly slow. So slow (and boring), I almost gave up on it. I didn't like that characters. Nothing (and I mean nothing) happens until almost the end of the book. Speaking of the end of the book. I mean, really? I had a suspicion early on, but ignored it. I just sat there shaking my head. Not a winner for me.

4.5 stars rounded up: Not Sorry introduces us to single mom, Meghan Michaels. Meghan is an ICU nurse who is recently divorced. Her newest patient is Caitlin Beckett, a young woman who jumped from a bridge onto the train tracks below and is in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. She gets to know her parents and takes good care of Meghan. They soon find out that Meghan was pushed, there is a witness who saw someone else on the bridge with her. Meghan tries to help the family and police find who did this. In another storyline, women are being attacked in their homes, some raped. Meghan and her daughter must take care when out at night. We also see Meghan in her personal life. She is attending a divorced persons group where she meets a school friend she hasn't seen in years. They strike up a friendship and Natalie shares her story of abuse by her powerful lawyer husband. Meghan does everything she can to help her, and then, the twists start coming fast and furious.

As this story begins, I enjoyed it, but it seemed to be a bit formulaic. Meghan and her daughter get along relatively well, but she is a teenager and there are always those days. When Meghan starts seeing people watching her and the scare of the man attacking women has her jumping at every noise. As she continues to develop a friendship with Natalie, she starts receiving notes, and even gets locked in the basement. She is scared for both of them, but isn't sure what to do. Then the first twist is dropped and I sped through the rest of this story. Mary Kubica does a great job of making the reader think they know exactly what is going to happen, only to be shocked when all is revealed. The book is broken up into two parts, with the first being a slow burn, building the story and setting the stage. The second takes off. I found the story to be well-written with a well-developed plot. There are some timely issues that made the story relatable, but I did have to suspend belief at times. My only complaint is that the conclusion left one thread unresolved and left me with a feeling that there may still be another shoe to drop at another time.

I always manage to pretty much binge read Mary Kubica's books in one afternoon and this was no exception.

What a roller coaster ride this was from start to finish. Just when you think you have it figured out you don't. Mary is very good at doing this and her books never disappoint.

I loved how Mary was able to put together all the storylines to make it make sense. It's a slow burn and to be honest I liked that. It has just the right amount of build to let you take it all in. Many times I sat back for a minute wondering what I just read and it wasn't in a bad way.

Mary is an auto buy author because her books never disappoint. They will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.

Thank you NetGalley & Park Row for this gifted copy. I did this one as one of my monthly buddy reads with my book club group. Overall, I’m giving this one a 3 ⭐️. The characters were hard to like especially the main character but I did not see the twist at all! It took the book from a stinker to an ok read. This one was a slow burn that I wasn’t expecting but I definitely enjoyed the last third of the book once you were given the curve ball. This won’t be my last Kubica book for sure.

Kubica does it again with a sit on the edge of your seat thriller. Meghan is a recently divorced single mother who works as a nurse. Patients have been showing up at her hospital due to a serial rapist/killer in their vicinity. Things get real when an old classmate shows up at a meeting for newly divorced parents and Meghan gets drawn in to the drama.

Local Woman Missing is one of my favorite books and this one was just boring. There were plot holes galore and there were many parts of the story that didn't make sense to me. The plot needed more of a wow factor for me. This read won't be a memorable one for me.
