Out today! Super fast paced with that jump scare factor. A solid thriller full of red herrings that will have you continuously questioning which character can be trusted.

Meghan is an ICU nurse who has just been assigned to a gravely injured patient believed to have attempted to take her own life by jumping off a bridge. As more details emerge about her fall, more questions are raised. Did she jump? Was she pushed? Who else may have seen what happened? Meghan soon entangles herself in this drama, becoming a little too close with the patient's family while doing some detective work of her own. Adding to the plot twists, she fears for herself and her daughter’s safety as a stalker is also loose in her neighborhood attacking and assaulting women as they find themselves alone.

This was a solid read for me and I really did enjoy it, but I was left with a few questions in the plot that didn’t quite make sense to me and the ending felt a bit rushed at the end.
Parts that I felt needed more clarity:
The phone call asking Meghan for $10,000 ransom for her daughter. It wasn’t really made clear if Caitlin was the one demanding this and what was she planning on doing with the money?
Meghan’s ex husband: He was dating Caitlin? So, she just hit her own face to pretend as if she was being beaten by her "husband", how did she explain that to the boyfriend and how did she just completely disappear after they “broke up”?

Kubica has done it again with this fast paced jaw dropping thriller… I mean how many twists can one throw into a novel! I was gasping for air on more then one occasion as I quickly turned page after page to find out got the novel was going to end! Holy shit was I so unsuspecting of so many things’!!!

A Newly divorced mom is finding raising her daughter and keeping her nursing job a bit of a stressful challenge and as the novel develops we can see how stressful life as an icu nurse can be. Just as things couldn’t get worse we are thrown twists after crazy twists and doom become aware of why she is so stressed out. Then the unthinkable happens when a patient dies. Still not all is as it seems when we are thrown some more huge twists’! This is one crazy roller coaster of a ride thriller that I completely devoured!

I’m giving this book a 3.5/5 ⭐️. I feel like this book was entertaining and suspenseful! This book started off slow, but eventually picked it up! There were parts in the book that were creepy, but it was fun to read! There was also some things in this book that I was not sure what was going on or left unanswered questions! I will definitely read another book from this author!

She's Not Sorry is a standalone thriller about a divorced ICU nurse raising a teenage daughter. Meghan Michaels has bad memories of her sister's suicide years earlier and has a difficult time treating a new patient in critical condition after jumping off a bridge. However, police discover that Caitlin Beckett may have been pushed and Meghan finds herself in the middle of a dangerous situation. Some members of Caitlin's family seem to be keeping secrets and others claim Caitlin herself has a checkered past.

There is so much going on in Meghan's life! In addition to the stress at work, Meghan is dealing with a temperamental ex-husband, a moody teenager, worries about an old friend, a serial killer in her neighborhood, threats being sent to her, and secrets of her own. This keeps the story fast-paced and entertaining, but sometimes it's too much jammed into one book. There are so many suspicious characters, it's hard to know who to root for. I was surprised by some of the big reveals, especially one that a murky timeline made hard to figure out. However, most of the various side plots and loose ends come together at the end. The Good Girl is still my favorite book by Kubica, but this book is engaging and fans of this author, especially her book Local Woman Missing, should enjoy this one.

I received an advance copy of this ebook at no cost from NetGalley, Park Row Books, and HTP Books. My review is voluntary and unbiased.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for allowing me to review this book.

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica
Release Date: April 2, 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I absolutely loved this book. I haven’t read a good thriller like this in a minute and this book was everything I could have asked for!

It is absolutely packed with twists and turns and unreliable people. I definitely did not expect the big plot twist AT ALL. My jaw was on the floor!!

I also loved that this was set in Chicago since I grew up in the suburbs I knew a lot of the locations mentioned in this book.

Just when I thought there couldn’t possibly be any more twists there definitely was. And omg yall the literal last sentence of this book will have me thinking for months.

If you are looking for a good psychological thriller, I couldn’t recommend this book more

Another twisty, turny, creepy tale from Mary Kubica. She’s Not Sorry is full of intense slow burn and had me absolutely gripped from the first page. I read this in about 1.5 sittings because I could not put it down! I consider myself pretty good at figuring iut mysteries, but this one had me going until the very end!

This is an exciting book that will grip you from start to finish! It’ll have you questioning everyone and everything, and you won’t be short on twists and turns to make your jaw drop. You can definitely rip right through this book in one sitting/day. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking to get back into reading for a fast-paced read that’ll keep you interested the whole time.

Thank you Park Row and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Meghan Michaels, an ICU nurse comes across a comatose patient on one of her work shifts and rumor has it that Caitlin took her own life by jumping over a bridge. No one knows why and assumes it is a suicide but when a string of attacks on women occurs within the area along with an eye witness coming forward, it begs the question: was Caitlin pushed? If so, then who and why? In the midst of it all, Meghan makes the ultimate mistake of getting deeply involved in Caitlin’s personal life and when it becomes far too late, the danger immediately arrives right on her doorstep.

This one hits a high note in suspense and was absolutely binge-worthy from start to end. The prologue hooks readers in immediately and about midway through it gets even better with all the unexpected twists. I enjoy thrillers with medical settings and strong female main characters, this one did not disappoint. This is a great niche read for nurses or anyone in the healthcare industry. I wasn’t expecting much from the title in the beginning but now I find myself wanting to read more from this author. What easily started off as a 4-star resulted in a stellar 5-star read and that’s my way of saying, it doesn’t happen often!

Thank you NetGalley, ParkRow, HTP-The Hive for my e-ARC and Mary Kubica for an amazing read!

SHE’S NOT SORRY
Mary Kubica

I can’t believe I’ve read another Mary Kubica novel. I swore I wouldn’t pick up another book written by her, but I did. The premise sounded so good I broke a promise to myself and requested it.

She made me go back on my word…

And SHE’S NOT SORRY

Meghan Michaels is a hardworking, underappreciated ICU nurse at the local hospital. She recently separated from her husband and is now living on her own with her daughter, Sienna. Sienna is a lot to handle on her own, but Meghan is handling the best she can on her own while working overnight shifts at the hospital.

One night while on duty a high-risk patient comes in and becomes a patient in Meghan’s ICU. There are a lot of questions surrounding the event that brought this patient in. At first, there are more questions than answers but slowly the clues start to come together and when you find out what really happened to the patient, you’ll be surprised.

I was.

SHE’S NOT SORRY arrives in bookstores and libraries today. If I were you, I’d put in my reserve now!

I’m so glad I was wrong about Mary Kubica and I’m so glad I was right about SHE’S NOT SORRY. It was just the thriller I was looking for. The twists and surprises felt executed by a seasoned professional and I loved having my reading sessions in Kubica’s hands.

It’s a mind maze, a series of questions answered only to bring up new questions. Everything you know for sure is no longer certain. Everything you thought was, wasn’t and everything you needed to be, couldn’t. I enjoyed my time reading SHE’S NOT SORRY and I think you will too.

Thanks to Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Park Row for the advanced copy and the opportunity to provide feedback!

SHE’S NOT SORRY…⭐⭐⭐⭐

"She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica follows Megan Michaels, an ICU nurse who's trying to navigate a life post divorce with her teenage daughter. One day, she encounters an ICU patient that jumped from a bridge...or has she? As she dives deeper into her life, Megan gets pulled into the darkness that surrounds her patient.

This was a slowburn thriller and was a quick read. While I was reading, at times I felt like I was reading Google map directions. It was evident that the author seemed to love the city she was writing about. The ending felt a bit rushed, but it was an enjoyable ride!

A big thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this ARC!

Another great read from Mary Kubica!! She's one of the few authors I hold a hall pass for. I will read just about anything she writes.

I was so tense reading this even in the most calming of places (aka the sauna and home safely in bed). I questioned everything and was suspicious of everyone. Highly enjoyable and addicting read! I sped through this and really didn't have anything I would change. Just a good time (well maybe not for everyone)!

Thanks to Mary Kubica, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC.

I love Mary Kubica and this might be my favorite book of hers yet! I felt myself yelling out loud during so many twists and the writing was so perfectly pitched that I felt myself steaming in anger and stressed, heart racing at different intervals. This book starts out innocuous enough and really ropes you in before you can see what's coming.  The author really knows how to create character who reveal themselves slowly throughout the story, but you also someone feel like you know almost right away. I enjoyed every second of it and would have read it in one sitting if I was able to!

Meghan is an ICU nurse and single mother to Sienna. When she gets overly invested in caring for her patient, she puts her life in peril. Meanwhile, a man is attacking women throughout the Chicago neighborhoods. This pulse-pounding novel will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Oh. My. Goodness! If you love a good thriller, She’s Not Sorry is the book for you. It’s a psychological whirlwind of twisty revelations. Need a “turn the page as fast as you can to see what happens” novel? This book fills that spot. On top of the palpable knife’s-edge intensity, the book is set against the atmospheric backdrop of Chicago. The city takes on a character of it’s own that adds to the story.

WOW.. Just wow.

I binge read this book in two days flat. I probably would have finished it in one sitting if I didn't have to be an adult lol. I was hooked from the very page of this. We follow Meghan, an ICU nurse taking care of someone that came in from a terrible accident. While she normally doesn't get involved with her patients, she finds herself trying to figure out what happened to her.

This book truly was a thrilling ride with a lot of twists and turns that gave me whiplash. The way the author was able to intertwine so many different stories into one without making confusing was really great. There were so many times I said to myself, "Oh I have this figured out." "I know what is going on" Then BAM, I was blind sided with something else that kept me guessing. There were a few times when I was reading this, I had to scoot closer to my husband because I was getting scared lol!

Overall, This was such a fun, twisty, thriller that will keep you on the edge of the seat the entire time. This is my second book by Mary Kubica and she has not disappointed at all! Can't wait to read more of her thrillers!

Thanks so much to The Hive, HTP Books, Parkrow Books, and Netgalley for the copy of this!

Thank you @parkrowbooks @htpbooks @htp_hive and @netgalley for the ebook and this is my honest opinion

Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse who is divorced and raising a 16 year old daughter. A patient named Caitlin is brought in with a traumatic brain injury from jumping
from a bridge. But the police think she was pushed and Meghan becomes involved in Caitlin's life. There is a rapist on the loose in Meghan's neighborhood and she receives a threatening note. Meghan is trying to keep her and her daughter safe.

I have enjoyed @marykubica books Local Woman Missing and Just the Nicest couple so I was excited to read She's not Sorry. Mary just knocked it out of the park with this psychological thriller. Yes, the beginning was a slow burn with three story lines happening but at 60 percent in there is a jaw dropping twist and the story just took off. It is a rollercoaster ride of twists and secrets that had me hooked to the very end.

This was a quick read. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t see the twists coming and it made me want to go back and reread certain sections. I’d like to thank NetGalley and Park Row for the advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

This just makes me so sad. I’m so bummed I didn’t love this one more. I’ve enjoyed the author’s other books, and Local Woman Missing is one of my top thrillers of all time and one I recommend often…but this was a big miss for me.

I think if you go in with an open mind, can get through unnecessary detail, and don’t mind plot holes, then you might enjoy this book.

It started off with such a heart pounding prologue that my hopes were set high…but I quickly became bored, and didn’t really see any action until about 60%. So much of the book was useless information. I lost count of how many times our MC was walking down the street with every red light and green light noted 🙈.

Each time a suspenseful scene would approach, it quickly deflated and led to nothing. This made me very frustrated. Once the action finally started happening, it was too much and unbelievable. There were too many side plots that never got fully developed causing the story to be choppy, and some things didn’t get resolved.

Don’t even get me started on how the fabulous prologue actually ties into the story 😫

I guessed a pretty big twist (go me!), while my friend Andrea guessed the other, and I was not a fan of the structure of the book. It seemed a bit unfair and confusing as a reader.

Happy Pub Day @marykubica and congratulations on what is sure to be a huge success! This book is brilliant! I have been chatting with others who had a chance to read an early copy and we are all blown away by the twists and true genius writing this book has! I have been following Mary since I picked up The Good Girl on 2014 and I have looked forward to all of her books since! She's Not Sorry is my favorite of hers hands down! I am not a fast reader, and when I lay down in bed, I read to fall asleep. This book had me up way past my bed time, flying through pages, I had to force myself to stop reading and sleep! I loved the ICU element, as I work in a hospital and enjoyed all the medical jargon. The characters were so multilayered and completely messed up! So many secrets hidden in all of them! And I think at one point, I questioned every single character @ I truly think going in blind for this one is the best method!! All I knew was the ending of Part 1 was astonishing, and that was SPOT ON!!
Seriously, read it. Now. It's out, today!! I am so thankful I got to read an early copy!
Meghan is a newly divorced, single mom working as a full-time ICU nurse. A new patient comes in, 32 year-old Caitlin, who has suffered a traumatic brain injury from jumping off a bridge. Meghan is usually good about keeping her work life separate from her personal, but she finds herself very entangled with her patient's family and what happened.. ok that's it, I'm not giving you anymore because you don't need it

She’s Not Sorry is a whirlwind tango of deceit, drama and the precarious balance of keeping secrets that could destroy you.

This is DELICIOUS springtime thriller reading - when you think of pure entertainment, keeping you glued to the page for every gasp-out-loud twist, this is the story you want. @marykubica kills it in this newest plot that proves to be the perfect blend of character drama mixed with unreliable characters all keeping secrets and thrilling twists that have you guessing over and over how the final pieces will all fall.

Do yourself a favour and go into this one blind - the less you know the more satisfying the payoff here. I will say that I devoured this book in one afternoon and loved every single diabolical twisting page. The perfect book for a lazy, sunny, springtime day - don’t wait to get this in your basket.

Many thanks to @htpbooks for the copy and @marykubica you remain in my auto-buy author hall of fame forever.

Was not a fan of this one. The story felt drawn out for no reason, didn't move at a good pace, and lots of repetitive main character walking home from work feeling scared. It's supposed to make the reader feel like something will happen while this lady is walking home, but then nothing happens. I gave this two stars on Storygraph.

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
