Mary Cubic does it again with a twist so epic there's no way to see it coming. I know I say this every time she has a new release, but this is my new favorite. Meghan is a realistic, believable character, the girl next door, but, when she's put into a situation beyond her control, what happens next blew my mind Just when you think you can trust a character in She's Not Sorry, you release really no one in this one is telling the truth. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

This book is so incredibly twisted. It’s like a pretzel of grifting, stolen identity, assault, scams, revenge, and murder, all revolving around a Chicago-based critical care nurse named Meghan Miller. I won’t even try to write a synopsis since it’s impossible to do without spoilers. Suffice it to say, it’s a non-stop adrenaline rush, especially all of the times Meghan walks home from work in the dark, knowing there’s a masked man who has been assaulting, robbing, and raping women. Add to that the fact that she and her 16-year-old daughter are living in an apartment with a door that doesn’t properly latch, and you’re just waiting for the worst.

Mystery/thrillers aren’t a genre I usually read, but I chose this for a reading challenge based on a Facebook recommendation, and I’m not sorry. It is absolutely riveting, and I really appreciate it as a window into the way people’s minds work: the lengths people will go to protect themselves and their loved ones, the damage and repercussions of childhood abuse, and people who are just natural-born sociopaths. Highly recommended!

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from Park Row through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

This books was such a wild ride! I could never tell what was going to happen next. So many twists and turns. This author doesn't disappoint. 4.5 stars!

I have honestly loved every single one of Mary‘s books, and this one is no different. As a warning, this book might be a bit scary for someone who doesn’t love a thriller. I felt like it was a little bit more chilling than some of her other books. I liked both of the storylines, but I felt like in the end I wanted them to weave together more cohesively it almost felt like two separate stories were happening, but maybe that was the intent. Overall, it was a great book, definitely kept me guessing all the way through.

was so excited to get an arc approved for this on NetGalley just before publication day that I jumped on it right away .

The prologue definitely sucked you in but I found Part 1 to be a drawn out and quite repetitive - at times I felt myself just skimming an really not missing anything of importance . Part 2 also started off with a bang but I felt like it was rushed and there were a lot of loose ends for my liking 🤷🏼‍♀️

SHE'S NOT SORRY by Mary Kubica was another suspenseful read that had me making 😲😳😏 faces!

I will say that this story started out with what felt like a lot going on. Megan is a nurse who is balancing a relatively new divorce and parenting a teen daughter while working as an ICU nurse. It did take a while to build this story, but it is all necessary. As Megan is caring for a woman who seems to have jumped from a bridge and is clinging to life, the other parts of her world are being revealed in layers. To add another point of unease, a crime spree is occurring targeting women at home alone, and she has to return to have a lump checked. While all this felt a bit much at times, it also felt like life: when it rains, it pours.

The way it all came together was a really fun twist method. One of the surprises I had guessed, but it didn't take away any of the fun for me. I still wanted to see the how and why! I really enjoyed all the pieces of this puzzle. I read through this one pretty quickly, and definitely recommend it to suspense fans who can handle a good, slow burn!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I read this ebook and listened simultaneously to the audiobook (via @hoopladigital). I enjoy diving into both experiences, especially with this book!

This is my first Mary Kubica read and WOW, it did not disappoint!! I was already all into the book and then the end of Part 1 happened, and it was a jaw dropping twist!!

Meghan is an ICU nurse, a single mom to a teenage daughter, as well as newly divorced. She gets a new coma patient in the ICU named Caitlin, who jumped from a bridge and has a brain injury. There’s news that Caitlin may not have jumped, but was pushed. Meghan tries to stay detached from her patients, but she can’t help but be drawn in, which may jeopardize her and her daughter’s safety.

I loved all the different dynamics that Kubica wove into this story. There were various family dynamics happening in the story from Meghan being a single mom to a teenager, to the mother of the ICU coma patient and her relationship with her daughter.

I was suspicious about a certain character in the book and I think Kubica had some small details foreshadowing what would happen just very discreetly written into the story and I loved that.

There were also questions that this story brings to mind such as, what drives a person to do horrible things to another person and why? And how well do we really know the people we are around?

If you want a fast paced thriller, with unexpected twists and turns, look no further! This is it, read it now!!

Thank you Netgalley for the pleasure to ARC read "She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica. This was my first read by this author, and I will absolutely be reading more from her. This book had me wanting to keep turning the page to find out what was happening. The twists were so good, and unexpected.
This follows Meghan an ICU nurse, who is recently divorced and has a teenage daughter named Sienna. One day she gets a new patient a girl named Caitlin, who everyone initially thought jumped from a bridge, but later on they suspect maybe she was pushed, but Caitlin is in a coma and not knowing if she will wake up or what state she will be in to speak the truth to what happened. There is so much more to this book, and I enjoyed every minute reading this. Definitely worth 5 stars.

✨my thoughts✨
Mary Kubica is the thriller Queeeeeen!! 👏 She always comes through with a page-turning story that somehow gets you with the twists every time! This newest thriller is no exception!

This book had me on the edge of my seat, I was confused and trying puzzle everything together, I was SO invested in all the different plots going on and in hindsight I knew something felt off but I did NOT see the ending coming at all. Truly incredible. I can’t recommend this book enough!

Have you read any Mary Kubica books?! What’s the last thriller that really shocked you?!

👩🏻‍⚕️She’s Not Sorry - Mary Kubica

5 ⭐️ - OMG, I am still thinking about this book days later. Mary Kubica definitely has a fan in me. This fast paced thriller is bingeable, twisty, thrilling, and shocking. I had some speculations of what might happen and I was STILL shocked by them.

This one started slow and while I was nervous about this, I knew it would be worth it. It had some GLOWING reviews. It’s packed with chapters that leave you wanting more. The female lead, Meghan (this is my 4th book this year with a MC with my name, weird) is a single mom, ICU nurse, and nervous nelly. I felt her paranoia and anxiety - this could be why I was so surprised even when I might have seen it coming. Her storyline, past and present, kept me hooked the whole time. I don’t want to give too much away because I want you all to read it, so just go pick it up. This twisty tale hit shelves on 4/2!

I really loved the wintry, urban, atmospheric vibe in this novel! (I wonder why it wasn't released in the fall or winter?) I also enjoyed how the twists were revealed. The storyline kept me guessing and wondering where things were heading.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the plot line about the serial killer. It didn't fit with the rest of the story and felt extraneous, especially at the end. I can see why it was used to give Meghan a cautious feeling and to add to the sense of impending doom, but it felt out of place.
That being said, this was a solid suspense novel that I will recommend!

Wow. What a twist- I knew I wanted to read this one because I loved local woman missing and I love Mary’s writing. I love that I went into blind because it took me through all the twists and turns. I can’t wait to discuss this one with my book club later this month!! I’ll read whatever Mary writes.

I’ve read enough of Mary Kubica’s books to set up a page in my review notebook for suspects as I enjoy the story. I’m proud to say this attention to detail meant that I actually nabbed two suspects before the author reveals! Did I get them all? Well know, but I had fun trying. Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse, caring for a patient who might not survive. Meghan is recently divorced, and living in a not great neighborhood with her teenage daughter. As if she isn’t under enough stress, a man is attacking women. Not only does she worry about her daughter, but she often walks home alone at night after her hospital shift ends, always looking over her shoulder. The only person she considers to be a friend is her coworker, Luke, but his plate is quite full, and she can’t impose on him either. Her loneliness is overwhelming, but fate seems to have finally smiled on her. She runs into an old high school friend, Natalie, and hopes they can rekindle their relationship. But Natalie’s life is no picnic either, and soon she wonders what she has led right to her door.
All the pieces of this puzzle come together in some surprising ways. Once the first twist was revealed, it was a roller coaster ride to the conclusion. Not a wimpy roller coaster either, but one that turned you upside down, and just when you thought the ride was over, it took you back to where you started. Meghan made some choices that were hard for me to understand, but they mostly all made sense once I reached the end.

I was able to read an advanced reader's copy this book through NetGalley.

I have read a few Mary Kubica books in the past and have always enjoyed them. And even knowing I was in for a good read this book still took me by surprise. I was hooked from the start. We have the main character Meghan Michaels who is balancing a ton of various things: working as a nurse caring for a triggering patient in the ICU, a rapist on the loose, being a single mom, and reconnecting with an old friend in trouble. Meghan is surrounded by danger and she keeps trusting the wrong people and getting deeper and deeper.

I love that the story broke itself up and started with one chilling incident that further plays itself out later in the story. At times there was a lot going on and others not much, but they all tied together wonderfully with tons of twists and surprises.

I will definitely be adding other Mary Kubica books to my TBR pile and recommending this book to my friends/family.

Kubica wrote another one that I thought I had all figured out until I realized I absolutely did not have anything figured out.

Megan is a newly single parent with a teenager, bills, and a stressful nursing job. Add in disappearances of local women and the sudden contact with an old friend, and you've got a super quick, twisty and thrilling read.

This sounds amazing, but unfortunately the formatting of this arc was unpleasant to read. No chapter breaks (or chapters in the drop down menu), and the pages themselves had no indentations for paragraphs and it was messy. HTP please fix your ebook formatting!

This was a real mind-bender of a book. The storyline and pacing of it was impeccably done in a way that made it un-out-a-down-able. I was reading it in public with friends & they kept asking me if I was okay because, my jaw was just permanently open. I didn't know who or what to believe at times. I had the ICK from the start about one character and I was so satisfied when I was right. The overall plot was very unique, but I actually recommend going into this blind.

As the story progressed, I did start to mentally uncover some of the future reveals, but I could not for the life of me figure out how everything was going to tie together & then BAMMMMM, huge first twist at the beginning of Part 2 that I never saw coming. There really was twist after twist in this, but I loved how they were done because, none of them felt like they came out of left field, they were shocking, but made sense!

I do feel like there were one or two loose ends that weren't entirely tied up, which I think was done to keep to reader guessing and thinking about the book for long after finishing, but I would have felt just a little more satisfied to get answers.

TW: There are themes of un-aliving yourself, physical abuse, and marital problems.

4.5/5 stars (rounded up to 5 on here)

Thank you NetGalley and Park Row Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

I always look forward to new releases by Kubica! Her books always pull me in and I can usually read them pretty quickly because I don’t want to put them down! There were so many parts to this story but once you realize how they all connect together, your mind will be blown! Kubica knows how to write a book with such suspense and twists that don’t let the reader down! For this reason alone, she will continue to be an auto-read author for me and one that I will always recommend!

WHAT A FRIGGEN RIDE THIS WAS!!!!!

Twist after Twist after Twist!!! AND they stumped me all! Of course I had hunches but dang Kubica had me second guessing myself left and right I almost needed to visit the hospital for whiplash, but maybe not the hospital in this book😅

And the BIG REVEAL?! COME👏ON!!!! What?!
I did a double take! Full body goosebumps and my anxiety was at an all time high like sick to my stomach omg what’s about to freakin happen feeling!

Local Woman Missing is my all time favorite of hers but this one ties for first place!!! There’s no first or second they are neck and neck!!

I’m so happy I have a signed personalized copy on my way and I think I’m about to have a marathon reading binge fest of the rest of her books I’ve read 5/9 of her books! (And yes I have them all already ready to read!)

As I’m writing this review my head is still spinning like WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! in the best way! And that ending the last few sentences WHAT?!
