Haunting.

In 2022, I started reading Mary Kubica's works. I should've known that she'd become one of my favorite thriller authors. I had read two of her books before starting this one. I didn't think the twists in her books could get any more unexpected, but she astonished me again. I was excited to see that she was releasing a new book and requested it as soon as I saw it on NetGalley. I didn’t have time to read it right away, but once I did, I couldn’t get enough of the story, and the characters. There’s much more to say about the story, but I don’t want to give too much away.

The title:She’s Not Sorry makes you curious, even if you never read the book by the author; there is the mystery behind the title. Even though I adored Local Woman Missing, & Just the Nicest Couple , this was my favorite one. I initially found the story to be slow-moving at the beginning, but it quickly became fascinating and difficult to put down. Just when I believed I had figured out what happened and who was behind it, another twist made me reconsider everything. I’ve never read a book with so many surprising turns.

I liked Meghan, despite some of her decisions that I didn’t agree with. I loved the lengths that she would go, to protect her daughter. However, I wonder what Sienna would think of her mother if she knew the truth about what she had done. Caitlin, I liked her at first and wondered what made her jump. The feeling lasted until I discovered what Caitlin was truly like. I had so many questions about what happened. She’s Not Sorry is a book you won’t forget.

This story hasn’t left my mind. I would strongly recommend this book to any thriller fans. Be prepared for a exhilarating ride.

I flew through this fantastic psychological thriller and highly recommend it! I absolutely loved the prologue and all the twists!

She did not disappoint! I devoured this in one day! With so many moving parts, it is hard to sum this novel up. Meghan is working as a full time nurse as well as supporting her teenage daughter and figuring out life after divorce. New to Meghan's nurse duties is Caitlin, a young woman who jumped from a bridge and is now in critical condition in the ICU. Meghan has a history with suicide, and tries to avoid attending to the woman, but gets assigned and starts to build relationships with her family. Then the investigation leads detectives to think that maybe this was not a suicide attempt. The more time Meghan spends tending to the woman and her family, the more she gets sucked into the dangers that may end up linking them together.

This was such a fast paced thriller! I was not able to predict what was going to happen or how the various storylines would come together in the end. I think this one makes its way to the top of my list of reads so far this year!

Meghan is recently divorced from her husband Ben and is raising their daughter Sienna in a tiny apartment in an area where a man is going around attacking women. Meghan is a nurse that works late and constantly worrying about her daughter being home alone after school. Meghan stops after work to attend a divorce support group where she runs into an old friend from high school. But is this the person she remembers? She opens her heart and home to her but something feels off.

The twist in the book had my jaw drop! I absolutely loved this book. Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my arc!

This was fabulous binge read! I never felt the pace let up, which I LOVE in thrillers. Definitely kept me on my toes. Highly recommend!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, HTP Hive, and Park Row Books for the ARC of She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica. You have to love a book that leaves you wondering what will happen next until the very last page -- that is precisely what happens here! This is a binge-able book that will leave you wanting more again and again. There were several a-ha moments where everything came together, some twists that I called and others that I was floored by. This is a twisty, on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller and one that I definitely recommend! I loved the ARC so much that I ordered my own physical copy to add to my library; this is one I will reread (and lend to friends/make others read)!

Thank you to NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC of this book!

A suspense filled novel that got me out of my mystery/thriller slump!!
I had no idea that there were going to be so many twists. I really thought I knew where it was going to go and as soon as I was sure, there was a twist to throw me off course.

This is a really fun, exciting thriller! The author does a great job of keeping the pace moving and there are twists and turns throughout that really keep the reader engaged. There are quite a few storylines going at once and some were more interesting to me than others. That did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the book but it was something I was aware of while reading. I was racing to finish the story and I was surprised although not totally excited by the ending. I think I'm in the minority with that though! I do recommend this book and I am excited to read more by Mary Kubica in the future. Thank you to Mark Kubica, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row, and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I am a fan of Mary Kubica because she seems to nail the plot twists every time and She's Not Sorry is no exception. I flew through this book, barely putting it down. There were some things that I suspected, but the twist definitely took me a little off guard because of the way things were written, I didn't even put it together. However, after that reveal, the ending fell a little flat for me. Really enjoyed it regardless and will be recommending!

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review. The twists in this book were top notch, like we even get a huge twist like halfway through and you really don’t see it coming. It’s such a layered story, one that I so enjoyed reading!

Would recommend for fans of…

It’s been a minute since I’ve read a Mary Kubica novel, but I’ve been a longtime fan of the way she’s able to craft the perfect twist. And she 100% manages to keep her streak of jaw-dropping twists with her latest, She’s Not Sorry.

She’s Not Sorry follows Meghan, an ICU nurse caring for a patient, Caitlin, who is in a coma. Meghan is drawn closer to her Caitlin when a witness comes forward with shocking information about Caitlin’s fall from a bridge and from there things get wild.

It’s hard to talk about why I enjoyed this book without giving anything away (and seriously, this is a book you don’t want spoiled) but I will say that Kubica nails the pacing and plotting of the story. She drops little bombshells leading up the major “WHAT?!” moment and I had a hard time putting down the book because of this.

But, there were a couple of things that bumped this down to a 3-star read. First, there are a few different plot lines focused on Meghan’s work and family, and I tended to find the family storyline kind of boring and it felt like filler for a portion of the novel. I also wasn’t impressed with the ending, as I felt like it was a bit of let down after such a strong start.

Regardless, this is a great choice for anyone looking to get caught up in a thriller that is captivating, but not at all scary or gruesome. It’s a great book to discuss, and if you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

She’s Not Sorry is out now. Thanks to Park Row and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

2.5 stars ⭐️

I hate to say it, but this one underwhelmed me. I think I might be in the minority here, but She’s Not Sorry did not thrill me. 😅

The premise sounded SO intriguing, but the story was way too much “telling” and not enough “showing” for my liking. It dragged; the narrator repeated herself constantly, and there was an abundance of descriptions of the setting and not a lot of action to fill the pages. At the same time, it felt like there were four or five different plot lines going on, and I wish she would’ve just focused on one.

No one in this book felt trustworthy - and not in the suspenseful way, but in the uneasy anxious way.

OMG! I loved this book!! It started weird for me and took me a little time to get into the story. I was wondering why there were so many story lines and was hoping they would all tie in together. They absolutely did! At one point I was completely speechless, jaw hanging open, thinking, did I just read that right? SO GOOD! I love a twist that I didn’t see coming. When I say Meghan the main character has a lot going on in her life, I mean A LOT, but it all comes together in a great story. Meghan is an ICU nurse caring for a patient (and her family) who apparently jumped from a bridge. She’s a divorced mom dealing with a teenage daughter and an ex husband. She has friends with their own problems that she is trying to help, an old high school friend who is trying to escape an abusive husband and a co-worker who has a bedridden pregnant wife. Oh and did I mention there is someone attacking girls around the city? In the end, everything is wrapped up in an exciting, can’t put this book down type thriller!! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc! GO READ THIS BOOK!!

Super bingeable with a good twist- not a complete surprise but I don’t need that- though others do. It didn’t blow my mind but it was entertaining and had me hooked. And man. So many of the men were just icky.

I always love a thriller, even more so when it is by Mary Kubica. This one did the job & kept me guessing the entire time. With twists and turns at every corner & feeling like you couldn’t put it down - I would love to see this made into a movie. I thoroughly expect this to be one of my favorite thrillers of the year. Very unique plot/storyline & I loved the characters! Thank you NetGalley & Harlequin Trade publishing for the ARC copy of this book.

This one kept me one the edge of my seat the whole time! There was so many twists and turns, every time I thought I knew what was going to happen there was another twist. The characters were so well developed and believable it made this story even more interesting and constantly second guessing what was to come. The author really does take you on quite the ride! This was the first I read by her and it won’t be my last! This is sure to be a big hit! Highly recommend!

This book! I simply could not put it down, and was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I’m one that loves to theorize along the way when I read a thriller, and majority of the time I can spot the twist, but this one had me shocked! The misdirections were so well done that I had no idea where this story was taking me. I did figure out one thing correctly based on Kubica’s early clues but everything else came as a total surprise and I LOVED it! This will easily be one of my favorite thrillers of 2024! The plot was unique which was also very refreshing, being a seasoned thriller reader. I loved the psychological aspect of this book when it comes to understanding these characters. This may have only been my first by Kubica but it is evident that she’s a master at her craft! Thank you so much to HTP, Hive, and Netgalley for my #gifted ARC!

OH NY GOD! Mary Kubica did it again! This book is my true nightmare situation and why I don’t trust anyone. This NEEDS to be made into a HBO tv show asap and everyone needs to read this book. The amount of twists in this book is CRAZY but so good. I’ll never be able to recommend anything by Mary Kubica enough. This is 100% going to be my top thriller for the year.
Now available!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the arc of this book.

Part one felt too long and dragged out for me. Not too much action until 65%, and by then I had predicted most of the plot twists. Not my favorite Kubica.

Absolutely loved this book. This had me on my toes and guessing til the very end. There were a few pieces I still had questions about in the end, but not enough to make me take any stars away. Thanks so much to Harper Collins and the hive for the advanced copy!
