This one kept me guessing! It got really good after the first 100 pages - I also love when there is a twist that takes place before the last 75% = just keeps you on your toes. I did enjoy it but feel it will be a bit forgetful.

In the end I ended up enjoying the book the first 3/4ths of it were very slow moving for me. I didn't find myself wanting to pick it back up but, once I hit the last 1/4th of the book it was really entertaining. Some twists I saw coming and some I didn't.

Don't know if I loved the hospital aspect of it but still overall enjoyed the story.

This was my first Mary Kubica read, but I picked it up because I'd heard such good things about Local Woman Missing. I found She's Not Sorry to be a decent read, but it wasn't one that kept me turning the pages. The first section of the book dragged a bit, and more in a "slow to get started" way rather than a "slow burn" way. It picked up in the second half, and I enjoyed the pacing and the twists after that. All in all, an okay read, but not a thriller I'll be recommending highly to others.

I really enjoyed this one! It did start out a little slow, but it was one wild ride by the time I was finished with it!

📖My Thoughts📖

Psychological Thrillers. Just what the doctor ordered! Ok, well maybe not, but they’re one of my favorite genres and I haven’t read any in a while, so it was long overdue, and it definitely satisfied my needs! First of all, I was really impressed with the authors knowledge and descriptions/explanations with medical terminology. The story was told through Meghan, the main characters perspective and kept a fairly balanced pace. My favorite part? It’s always the twists that just seem to be my jam. They just drop out of nowhere sometimes and if done the right way, they leave you speechless with your jaw on the floor. There were definitely some of those in this book! There was a lot going on in this book, but for the most part it all seemed to come together. I’m still unsure and how I feel about her ex-husband. He’s a tough nut to crack! So here it is in a nutshell. I really enjoyed this book, right down to the last sentence. It definitely had some “edge of your seat” moments, with lots of twists sprinkled throughout the book. There were a lot of elements situations going on and I feel like it still would have been just as good had a few of the smaller situations been omitted from the book. Nonetheless, I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone that’s into thrillers.
Thank you Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mary Kubica for the opportunity to read and review this creepy yet satisfying psychological thriller. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more books by this author. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meghan is a single mom who tries to find balance between her daughter and being a nurse. One day she’s gets a patient who has traumatic brain injury and is now in a coma. Apparently the patient, Caitlin, jumped off a bridge twenty feet over train tracks. But as Meghan takes care of her, she starts to wonder what really happened. Did she really jump or was she pushed. Meghan tries her best to stay distant and not get overly attached, but the mom in her feels like this could have been her own child, and so she’s setting herself up for a dangerous find.

Meghan has had it tough. Getting divorced and having a teenage daughter, Sienna, who isn’t happy with the outcome. On top of that she’s a nurse who has long difficult shifts. And tough cases, like Caitlin’s. She’s dedicated herself to Caitlin’s care. Being vulnerable and trying to save a child who isn’t hers put her in hot water… which makes Meghan such a powerful character of a mom.

There was a lot of twists and I really didn’t see the ending coming, which makes for the best book. Mary Kubic is one of those authors I love to purge. She’s unique at storytelling and always has the story set up to make you say “wow.” It definitely had throat constricting moments where I was holding my breath desperate to know the answers.

Meghan is an ICU nurse. A patient comes in who jumped from a bridge. Her name is Caitlyn Beckett. Meghan is dealing with her divorce in a therapy group where she meets an old friend Natalie. Natalie is in an abusive relationship and Meghan tries to help her. This was my first book by Mary Kubica but won’t be the last.

Holy shit. That’s what I have to say about this book. I just finished and my entire body is vibrating with anxiety. This book just gets more and more intense as it goes on- the last 3 chapters had me audibly gasping and groaning with my hand over my mouth. There is so much happening in this book which, as somebody who can usually see what’s coming a mile away, I really appreciated. The book starts out with our main character, Meghan, getting a phone call that her teenage daughter has been kidnapped and then we do a Quentin Tarantino and go back to the beginning. There’s a man in the loose terrorizing their town and hurting women- the identity of which I did call pretty early on but I didn’t know how we were going to get to that conclusion or any of the crazy things that would happen along the way. There was one part that really irritated me where Meghan instantly believing a man who says he was framed for child pornography charges (why is she trusting this man?? I certainly wouldn’t believe someone if they told me that let alone a stranger). However, overall I found this book AMAZING. I also can’t say much without spoiling something but one of the things that happens to Meghan in the book is something that has happened to me and it was absolutely wild to have it be a plot twist in a book I was reading. That alone will leave me thinking about this book for a long time. Absolutely recommend for anyone who loves thrillers (although I would NOT recommend finishing it at 10:30 at night🫠).

This is another great book by a great author. The book starts off slow, but keep with it because it turns into a very exciting, suspenseful book! Great ending I didn’t see coming!

Thank you Netgalley & Mary Kubica supplying me an ARC in exchange for an honest review! All opinions are my own.
I’m really disappointed because I loved all her books in the past but this one was just boring. I had to give up on this book unfortunately but I’ll still continue to read this author’s books because I still loved her previous books.

This book has a lot going on but I wasn’t a fan of how the first half seemed to drag on and then the end was action packed! And what an epic twist!

WOW! I did not see that twist coming, and I totally love that! This was a great read, as always. Mary Kubica never disappoints. I have all of her books on my TBR and she is on my always-read list. I can't wait to see what she writes next!

Mary Kubica’s She’s Not Sorry follows a woman named Meghan as she navigates what it’s like to be newly divorced, raise a teenager, and be extremely paranoid. In terms of a thriller, this is five stars. I did not see the twist coming. It had me reeling, thinking about what clues I missed along the way. The characters were great, and the setting is the Midwest (Chicago) which I loved. What I liked the most about this book was the depiction of what it’s like to be a nurse post pandemic.

My main reason for four stars was the fact that there was a lot going on in this book, which made it unrealistic. This made it difficult for me to get into the story at times.

Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence

Meghan Michaels’ latest charge in the ICU is the subject of all the nurses’ discussions. How did the young woman jump off the bridge and onto the tracks below in the way she did? Why did she jump?

Then there are rumors that the young lady may have been pushed…not to mention suspicious figures who start showing up at the ICU.

This novel has a quick style that is successful in keeping the reader engaged. It’s a thriller, so be prepared for twists (including one I had to read again because I wasn’t sure I read it correctly).

Thank you to @NetGalley and @HarlequinTradePublishing for the ARC. Mary Kubica had me hooked when I read Local Woman Missing, I became a fan. She's not Sorry was another hit for me. This book told in Parts had me gasping at the cliffhangers at the end. I could not stop reading and all my guesses were way off. This is a book club read for me.

I highly enjoyed this thriller. I will say, it was a bit all over the place with the FMC's various patients' stories, her friends' stories, and her revelations. A little over halfway through I started to really get into the book, so for me this was a slow burn. I will say, that once the story picked up, the twists and turns were fabulous! I was unsure of where it was all going, but wow, this had me! I definitely recommend this book to fans of a slow burn thriller!

Meghan Michaels works in the ICU as a nurse when a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma after jumping from a bridge and plunging over twenty feet. The nurses debate on what would make somebody jump like that until a witness comes forward with news that calls things into question. Was Caitlin actually pushed? Meghan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients but she is finding it harder and harder to do when Caitlin reminds her of her sister's suicide. Is it dangerous for Meghan to continue investigating?

I usually really love Mary Kubica books but this one was not my favorite. I actually found that the beginning was super hard to get into and it did not get super interesting until more than halfway through. I did not like Meghan's character as I felt she kept doing stupid things and it took her a long time to put pieces together. I only kept reading because I wanted to find out how Caitlin ended up in the coma.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for access to this ebook. Below is my honest review:

This might end up being my 2024 book of the year! I finished it in one day because I couldn't put it down. You never know what is going to happen next or who to trust. The twists and turns were *chef's kiss* - you didn't see them coming, but it all pieces together in a logical way that is believable. This might just be Mary Kubica's best book yet!

Love Mary Kubica writing and this book was no different. Love how she weaves the story together to keep me turning pages. This is a must read

A young woman falls from a bridge and winds up at a local hospital in a coma. Police try to determine the facts surrounding her fall and whether anyone else was involved. Meanwhile ICU nurse, Meghan, is assigned to her care. Already on edge from reports of women being attacked in town, Meghan fears for her safety and that of her daughter. As she gets closer to the family of her new patient, secrets start to bubble to the surface. With them is a connection to Meghan’s past. Will her patient survive and what happens if she does? A fast-paced, multi-layered tale of suspense. Thanks to NetGalley and Park Row for the ARC. This is my honest review.
