She’s Not Sorry is filled with twists and turns. I could not figure out how this story would end. Mary Kubica is a must-read author,

Not my least favorite Kubica, but the characters were dense and unlikable.
I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own

This book had me thinking along one line and wondering what would happen to the woman with the abusive husband. Then the plot took a sudden turn a different direction - for awhile - until it was time for another twist. My head was spinning with all the possibilities and twists in this story. Granted, it was a bit unrealistic, but that's why they call it fiction! No matter how far fetched, it was another entertaining book by Mary Kubica.

I don’t want to spoil this one, so I won’t say much about the plot. I honestly wasn’t sure where this one was going for the first half of the book, but it had me on edge. I was engaged for the majority of the book trying to figure out what was going on. I was able to predict some of the plot twists, although they didn’t play out exactly how I thought. Overall I enjoyed this one, wasn’t my favorite, but it still kept me turning the pages!
Thank you to HTP and NetGalley for a copy of this ebook!

Love the setting of this story as well as trying to figure out what was really going on. About halfway through I had my suspicions and they proved to be correct. The story seemed a little outlandish but was a fun fast read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this advance copy of She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica - this title is available today and is Kubica's newest thriller for 2024!
3.5 stars for my first title by this author - I was really intrigued by this one being a nurse myself, and I wanted to see how this played into the storyline. This one follows Meghan, an ICU nurse that is caring for Caitlin, a woman who jumped (fell?) off a bridge and is currently intubated and in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. I don't work in this area of nursing, but that seemed to track pretty closely to what medically could be happening with Caitlin, and I was really intrigued to where this story was going to go. I talked to a friend who has read some of Kubica's other works - I thought the nurse/patient "what actually happened to Caitlin" idea was going to be the main plot line, but then we're introduced to a different storyline (that eventually comes together, but it seemed very bizarre with how it was all paced out. It seemed a little disjointed and a little bit of a "WTF" moment, but I was entertained. I don't always need the plot to be realistic, but this one seemed like it took it one step too far with being "off the wall" and unbelievable.
Thank you again to the publishers and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for this review - She's Not Sorry is available today!

Possibly my new favorite by this author! I read it in two days (rare for me) and kept trying to figure out how everything would work out and how all the subplots would tie together. I liked Meghan, the main character, and I think many single moms fresh off a divorce will relate to her relationship with her teenage daughter.
There were plenty of gotcha moments with several clever twists, especially at the end. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this clever thriller!

This is full of twist and turns in perfect Mary Kubica fashion - there are a few different things going on that seem unrelated and had me scratching my head then wow, again I didn't see what came next.
Meghan, an ICU nurse is caring for a patient, but did the patient attempt suicide or was she the victim of an attempted murder. Although normally able to remain detached from her patients, she seems overly involved in this particular case. Then she runs into a high school friend, apparently in an abusive relationship and she also becomes compelled to help her. As if that isn't enough, there's a serial rapist attacking women in her neighborhood and her young daughter is often left alone because of her work schedule.
It's amazing how she can weave the stories and bring it all to a head - another page turner.

Not my first book by Kubica, and certainly not my last. I was hoping that I would be able to figure out the plot twist but for some reason this one eluded me. Very well written and easy to read, I really liked this one.

This book was such a thriller and a page turner! UI wanted to keep reading to see who pushed Caitlin off the bridge. Was it her brother? A complete stranger? "She's Not Sorry" had some many twists. I enjoyed reading this book and at the end the reader will be surprised who pushed Caitlin and why. I wanted Ben and Megan to be reunited again.

4.5 stars
One twist I saw coming, one I didn't at all, and one I had an inkling of after the surprise 🤣
An overall entertaining thriller, just with too many daggum Chicago streets named. Lol.

This propulsive story is full of twists and turns! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this advanced copy.

Caitlin Beckett is a patient in a coma in the hospital. She has fallen from a bridge. At first the thought is that she jumped, then it is discovered that she was pushed. Meghan Michaels is one of her nurses. Meghan becomes more and more involved with the family, the parents come to rely on her and tell her things about the family. Once it is determined that Caitlin was pushed, everything is changed.
I have mixed feelings about the book. It took a while to get going with the plot. The first 59% was a slow build, and It had tension at times that kept you reading. The characters were all "unreliable" at times so you really didn't know what was going on or who was telling the truth. It did pick up in the last 40% of the book. There were plenty of twists, some that I saw coming and some I did not.
There was quite a bit of repetition at the beginning of the book which was annoying. .Some of the plot points were left unresolved. Some of the twists at the end were not quite believable. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I do wish it had been a little faster paced.
Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for the ARC of this book.

Another one of my most anticipated 2024 books this year, She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica did not disappoint. I Even though I really did not find any of the characters likable, especially the daughter who I found to be quite a spoiled and whiny brat it took nothing from the story, which was great! Full of twisty turns and a major bombshell I did not see coming! Thank you so much!

Mary Kubica used to be an auto-buy author for me. I really liked her early work. They are exciting, fast-paced stories that I used to gobble up in one sitting. The last few books by Kubica have been more of the slow-burn variety. In this release, not only was it super drawn out, but it had way too many story lines. I can handle multiple story lines, but this just wasn't worth the struggle to keep them straight. I lost momentum while reading due to the overly long descriptions of day-to-day life. Then, as if that wasn't frustrating enough, I figured out the twist fairly early on. Overall, I just left this one feeling disappointed.

Chicago ICU Nurse Meghan Michaels ha a lot going on she is a single mom raising her teenage daughter with a less than helpful ex husband, doesn't live in the best neighborhood and her building door doesn't always shut, there is someone stalking women in the area and she meets a old high school friend in a divorce support group. When she gets assigned a patient named Caitlin who is in a coma after a fall from a bridge she gets too close to the family. Clever use of the fears of a single mother living in the city along with some twists with the characters relationships and motivations made this an entertaining mystery. I enjoyed Meghan as a protagonist and the supporting characters were well used to reveal secrets and build tension as the plot moved along. I received a free digital copy of this novel from the publisher.

Rated 3.5 ⭐️
Caitlin has become a patient in the ICU from a traumatic brain injury via a suspected suicide attempt. An ICU nurse, Meaghan, is assigned to care for Caitlin. Caitlin's diagnosis and circumstances hits close to home for Meaghan, making caring for her difficult.
This was a fast paced suspense novel. I got creepy, paranoid vibes in the first part of the story that left me on the edge of my seat, made me wonder when the second shoe would drop. All of a sudden part 2 of the book happens and the puzzle starts coming together.
While reading the book, I felt it was an ok read. The plot twists didn't really wow me. I didn't get that feeling of not wanting to put the book down until chapter 24.
Thank you to Netgalley, Mary Kubica, and the publishers for this free ebook. This review is 100% my own and honest review.

This was a great novel. I thought many different things while reading but didn't see it coming towards the end. The flow of the storyline made it that much better. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and will recommend it to many others!
Thank you to the publishers for an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I listened to this on audio and the narration was great. This story was all over the place and was disappointing.

Another great book from one of my favourite authors. This thriller definitely kept me intrigued right from the first page. I loved the characters and they completely had me guessing. This book was so atmospheric and descriptive whether we were in an ICU room or out on a cold city street. Meghan is a compassionate ICU nurse treating her comatose patient Caitlin. In Meghan’s private life she is dealing with a teenage daughter while coming to terms with her divorce. As the story unfolds there are some great twists and turns and revelations about the characters. The pacing and plot were outstanding. I absolutely loved this one!
