Usually I try to include a small synopsis in my reviews but for this one I can’t. After reading some reviews saying to go in blind that’s what I did and it is definitely the way to go. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from long reviews and the back of the cover and just read this book. Trust me. Most of the time I hate going in blind but it’s a must for this book to get the most out of it!

With that being said here are a few small thoughts if you need further convincing to give this book a shot. That prologue will drag you in and from there you won’t want to stop. I found myself flying through the pages. As a healthcare professional I found the medical aspects intriguing but don’t worry if you don’t have a medical background, Kubica does a great job making it simple to understand.

This was my second book by Mary Kubica and she’s quickly becoming an auto buy author for me!

This book really bummed me out and it was a miss for me. I wish I felt differently because I really enjoyed Local Woman Missing and The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica. The prologue was so good and immediately had me hooked. I was really excited to continue reading, but the pacing was too slow and I got bored quickly. There was a lot of repetitive and unnecessary detail that didn't move the plot forward. The book eventually started to pick up the pace, but by that point I was just trying to get through it. I kept putting the book down without really wanting to pick it back up. Even though this one fell flat, I will still give the author (and maybe this book) another try in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have been a fan of Mary Kubica's for awhile, and I was very, very excited to get my hands on this ARC. This book tells the story of an ICU nurse named Meghan. She is a single mom living in Chicago trying to survive the best she can. While her life isn't where she would expect it to be, she is content. Her daughter is smart, happy, and healthy. She loves her job, and is looking to finally move on from her ex husband to find a good partner.

At work, she is put in charge of overseeing the care of a woman named Caitlin who, at the time, is perceived as trying to take her own life by jumping off a bridge. This brings up a lot of emotions for Meghan, but she works hard to keep her professional life outside of her personal feelings. As a way of healing and to meet people in a similar life situation as her, Meghan goes to a divorcee support meeting after work one day a week. At one of these meetings, she runs into her old high school friend, Nat. Nat needs help in the worst way...she is in an abusive relationship, desperately trying to figure out how to leave her husband. Meghan agrees to help, putting herself in danger, all the while, keeping tabs on the news. A man is attacking women who are like Meghan. Single, often alone especially at night. Fear just surrounds her at every step and life seems to unravel.

The twists in this book were absolutely amazing. I caught myself saying WHAT a few times as the book progressed. Twists are something Mary Kubica excels at in all of her books. The one thing that kept me from giving this five stars is the lack of emotional connection I had to Meghan. There were some very painful things that were reflected on throughout the book, but I personally wish these had been fleshed out a bit more, especially in the beginning so I would have felt more for Meghan. I felt like I wanted to hurt and rationalize for her but just couldn't get all the way there. Overall, this was a very good book and so glad I was selected to read it!

She’s not sorry

Read if you like:
👀Unexpected twists
🔥Slow burn thrillers
😰Suspenseful atmospheres
⏰Multiple storylines

Meghan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time nurse.
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.

Full of secrets and suspicious characters, I was pleasantly surprised with the twists in this one! I thought the plot was unique and unlike anything I’ve read recently- however, I found myself feeling a bit bored and just powering through this one. Not the best sign for me, unfortunately. Ultimately I liked the ending but felt like it left me with too many unanswered questions.

Thank you to Mary Kubica, NetGalley, and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I highly recommend you go into this book blind.

It took me a little bit to get into this book and I thought some parts were a bit slow, but the twists at the end WOW!

3.5/5 Stars!

WELL DONE MARY KUBICA! 🙌🏻😍🤯 This was one of the most twisty books I've EVER read and has you HOOKED from the first page! I did figure out one of the ending twists ahead of time, but the fact that it was SUCH a beautiful twist gives ZERO points away for that! She's Not Sorry needs to sprint to the TOP of your thriller TBR!

I loved this book! Mary Kubica once again created a thriller that kept me guessing and shocked me multiple times throughout the book! Her characters, plot development, and MANY twists made this book one I devoured in a day!

Soooo good! From the very first page, I was hooked. It held my attention. I was suspicious of everyone. I am already a paranoid person so I had a lot of anxiety reading this book. Mary’s writing is amazing. I could picture everything in my head like a movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I cannot wait to read more of Mary’s books!!

Finishing a quick reread before finalizing review!

This book comes out TODAY!!! I just finished it was it was a suspenseful read. I was constantly questioning what is going to happen and I am not even sure all my questions were answered! There were many moving pieces.
Meghan is a nurse at the local hospital. She’s recently divorced and lives in a little apartment with her teenaged daughter. She runs into a high school friend and tries to help her through her husband abusing her. Is she who she says she is? Is anyone who they say they are? Who can Megan trust? Can Megan even trust herself?

Wow! I was invested from the start. I was a fan of Local Girl Missing, but this has to be Mary Kubica’s most twisty thriller yet and I am so here for it!!

Brief Summary: Meghan is a recently divorced ICU nurse with a 16-year-old daughter, Sienna. There are three main subplots that contribute to the suspense of the story: 1) A patient comes into the ICU that police believed tried to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge and is an a coma, but the reader can tell from the beginning that that there is more to the story. 2) Meghan runs into an old friend from high school, Nat, at a divorce support group. She is acting very strangely and appears to be in an abusive relationship with her husband/ex-husband, Declan. 3) A mysterious man is attacking and assaulting women around Meghan & Sienna’s Chicago neighborhood, sneaking up on them as these women enter their homes alone.

From start to finish I was invested and could not read fast enough to see how these plots were resolved in the end… and the ending did not disappoint in my opinion!

HAPPY PUB DAY !!!! 🥳❤️🥳

This book has A LOT going on !! I'm sure something for everyone.
I was super excited to get an Arc of this because it's all the rage 🙃 but tbh I was a little letdown. There was a lot going on like I said & maybe too much ?? Imo I felt outside of the prologue which is totally gripping & sucks u in but other than that I felt the book dragged until prob 67% in . The twists & turns were alright but nothing special or nothing to freak out over.
Overall I feel I'm missing the hype with this one 🤷
But I would in no way say this book was bad. I read it in about 3 days. I did want to know what was happening & how it ended but didn't really care about Meghan's schedule & day to day although I see why it's revelent.
Not mad I read it . Definite slow burn .
This is my first book by this author & I'd definitely read another one.

Thank you #NetGalley for the Arc

One of her best yet!!! Do not miss this one! I love all of Mary Kubica's books, but this one is unforgettable. This psychological medical thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some of the scenes are so riveting with unbelievable twists. The suspense is gripping and chilling as you fly through the layers with unreliable characters, revenge and obsession.
Meghan is recently divorced and raising her teenage daughter single handed. She works full time as a RN nurse and usually doesn't become involved with her patients, but one patient, Caitlin, is on her ward in a coma with a TBI after falling 20 feet onto a train track. Was she pushed or did she jump? As she attempts to unravel the mystery and becomes gripped by her family and history, she endangers herself and daughter. Has she crossed the line with her patient?
It is fast-paced and you will wish you had more to read at the end. This book is proof Mary Kubica is a Master of Suspense.
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row for this incredible ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve loved Mary Kubica for years and her newest book, She’s Not Sorry, doesn’t disappoint! This was a fun quick & twisty story! However, I thought the final twist was a little…random and the ending wrapped up abruptly. Also (and this is nothing against the story) my ebook version had very strange formatting; large gaps between paragraphs, page numbers in the middle of the mage, strange spacing, etc.

This was a definite unstoppable - unputdownable thriller from the first page to the last.

I' love the way this author builds her characters - not perfect or even trying to be - but always believable and mostly likeable!

The story twists and turns from page one. Surprises on every page!

Wow! What a twisty roller coaster of a ride this was! I've read several books by Mary Kubica but this might be her best yet!

This is the story of Meghan, an ICU nurse, a recently divorced single mom who works as an ICU nurse. A patient named Caitlin arrives at the hospital in a coma with a traumatic brain injury from a fall from a bridge. Did she fall? Was she pushed? Does here seemingly loving family have something to do with it? Meghan tries to not get too personally involved with her patients but for some reason this patient and her family are different. At the same time that Caitlin arrives at the hospital, Meghan rekindles a friendship with Natalie, an old friend from high school, who she meets at a divorce support group. She suspects that Natalie is in an abusive relationship with her husband and she'll do anything to help her. And with all that going on, Meghan somehow finds time to focus on her teenage daughter Sienna.

So, there's a lot going on from the very beginning. There are a lot of characters to keep up with, but the author somehow makes this work because I never had to remind myself who was who. I was hooked from the very beginning and it was really hard to put down. There were so many twists and turns and I couldn't wait to see how everything wrapped up. This was truly a great read!

Thank you so much to Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC. Publication day is today, April 2, 2024 so get your copy now. I promise...you won't be sorry!

I enjoyed parts of this book, but it felt slow at times. Overall, I liked the how the book ended and both stories played out. .

Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. This book officially publishes on 4/2/24!

This book starts off with a bang and is a very fun read. Despite being told from a single POV, the character development and interactions were not lacking in any way. Giving this one 4 stars because I did guess one of the bigger twists; however, this did not entirely detract from my overall experience reading the book as there are several twists in this one. I love how the author ended this one, although I will leave my thoughts on the ending there so as to not spoil! Definitely recommend giving this one a read, but please check any relevant trigger warnings before doing so.

First I want to thank NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mary Kubica for my ARC of She’s Not Sorry.


Holy smokes! That was a wild ride! I couldn’t put this one down. I just had to get to the end and figure out who was behind it all! There was a lot going on with this book but almost everything was brought together in the end. A few parts of the story weren’t answered and left me questioning how and if Meghan got answers. Overall I did enjoy the storyline and the characters were well developed. This is my first read by Mary Kubica but it will not be my last!

“We can only know so much about the people in our lives.”

I have always enjoyed reading Mary Kubica’s books (The Other Mrs. is still my favorite), and She’s Not Sorry was no exception. I especially loved the ICU aspect as it added an exciting addition to the storyline.

It was such a fast-paced book that I felt like I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I needed to know what was happening and how it would turn out. It kept me guessing until the very end. The BIG twist was a complete surprise to me, and I had to go back a few pages to ensure I’d read it right. What was the last twisty book that left you surprised?

My only issue with the story was that too much was going on. All the pieces came together at the end, but it seemed over the top and unbelievable. Some chapters felt repetitive and unnecessary to the overall arc of the story. It felt very scattered and rushed as I approached the final chapter, which ultimately was a letdown.

I recommend reading She’s Not Sorry if you’re looking for a twisty mystery that will take you by surprise.

I am such a fan of Mary Kubica’s work and I was due for a good thriller. I read this over a rainy, gloomy weekend and the vibes were absolutely perfect. I love a book where I don’t see the twist coming and this one is a roller coaster in the best way!

Our main character, Meghan, is an ICU nurse and also a single mom to a teenage girl. Balancing that is hard enough, but her world is rattled when a patient, Caitlin comes in in a coma. Caitlin attempted to take her own life & this brings back major trauma because Meghan’s sister also died from suicide.

Caitlin’s prognosis isn’t looking great when a witness comes forward and says there were two people on the bridge when she jumped. Maybe it wasn’t an attempt to take her own life after all. I absolutely loved putting all of the pieces together. And when I finally realized the big twist I was SHOOK.

There is a minor storyline that I didn’t feel was necessary to the book, and was a tad distracting. The Meghan / Caitlin storyline didn’t need anything else since it was so well done! Absolutely devoured this book in two sittings!
