She really isn’t sorry. Mary Kubica wrote an intro that will have you hooked and you won’t want to put it down after that. 😊

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an E-ARC of She's not sorry. This is a great twisty thriller to keep you turning the pages to the very end.

Meghan is an ICU nurse taking care of Caitlin, a patient who fell off a bridge and is in critical condition. Except the police think it may have been foul play.

I had a hard time getting into this one. I liked the story but I found myself not the most captivating because of the pacing. If the concept interests you I’d give it a chance. It definitely wasn’t predictable (which is always appreciated in thrillers). Overall, a decent book with a solid ending.

I was fortunate to have advanced access to She’s Not Sorry through NetGalley, and I was delighted for the opportunity to read Mary Kubica’s latest before its publication date. Meghan Michael’s is an ICU nurse in Chicago, who is caring for a possible suicide victim, while navigating the trials and tribulations of parenting a sixteen-year-old daughter, Sienna. Meghan has been divorced for a year and is quite focused on her career. One night, a former high school classmate runs into Meghan and appears to have a tortured relationship with her abusive husband. As Meghan works to help her former friend, she gets pulled into a sinister plot.

Kubica does a fantastic job of keeping readers on their toes! The twist in the middle of the book is fabulous and helps propel the novel to its satisfying conclusion. I cannot wait for Kubica’s next murderous foray!

Meghan Michaels is a forty-year-old recently divorced ICU nurse, living in a small two-bedroom apartment with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Sienna. At work, Meghan is assigned to a patient, Caitlin. Caitlin is in a coma after jumping twenty feet from a bridge and landing on train tracks. But did Caitlin actually jump or was she pushed? Meghan soon finds herself too emotionally attached to Caitlin and her family. Will Meghan and Sienna be the next victims?

Wow! Mary Kubica definitely does not disappoint with this one. This one is a slow burn. Kubica has a way of fully developing characters so that you truly care about each one. It takes time for Kubica to introduce us to Meghan and Caitlin and give us their background information. However, about halfway through the action really picks up. There are many jaw-dropping twists. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys thrillers! I give it 4/5 stars.

This book has no lack of the surprises and twists we expect from Kubica. I always suspend my rational/doubting mind when I read this genre because that is how I can most enjoy it!

When I let myself get fully immersed in the text, I had heart-pounding moments which turned out to be excellent foreshadowing. Kubica creates so many reasons to look carefully at every character and around every corner. I am still analyzing some of those characters and story lines.

Thanks to #netgalley and #harlequintradingpublishing for an ARC of this book.

Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade publishing for the eARC in exchange for this honest review

This book is filled with many twists and turns and suspicious characters which made it difficult to know who to trust or believe! Although it left a few unanswered questions for me, I really enjoyed this fast-paced, page turner read and would not hesitate to recommend!

She's Not Dead by Mary Kubica

It's starts off with a phone call received by Meghan Michaels, a nurse. She's doing the best she can to raise her teenage daughter, Sienna. From there, as I read, I tried to figure out what details were important and which character(s) were the "bad guy(s)." There were lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing! I was not expecting how things connected. This was my first book by Mary Kubica. It won't be my last!

Mary never disappoints! Didn't see the plot twist coming at all. Kept me entertained and wondering the entire book. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Net Galley and Park Row Publishers for an ARC of this book.

I've only read one other book by the author, and it wasn't a top read for me. This one, however, kept me interested the entire time. I felt a little confused at the end, so I may need to go back and look at some things to make more sense of it. Who am I kidding...on to the next read.

This one was a solid 3.5 stars for me.

I have read all of Mary Kubica’s books and enjoyed them all. This one is no exception! I couldn’t wait to get to the end and find out how it was going to turn out. I love that all her books are set in the Chicago area (this one was Chicago specifically) because I always know the places she is referring to within the book. This book was a great story of Meghan, her daughter, and Caitlyn, a patient in the ICU that Meghan is taking care of. The book had a few plot twists that all took me by surprise. Overall, I flew through this book pretty quickly. The chapters are a good length - not too long. Mary Kubica will continue to be an auto read author for me! Thanks for the ARC!

Thank you Netgalley, Harlequin Publishers and Mary Kubica for the ARC.

SHE'S NOT SORRY is Mary Kubica's latest book . It's largely set in a hospital, following an entire cast of characters you cannot trust, Lots of twists and turns, many that I saw coming. I found that my attention wandered more often than not while I was reading. Sadly not my favorite book by this author.
2.75 out of 5 ⭐️

Love the cover, love the hospital setting, love not knowing who to cheer for. This is one of my faves by Mary Kubica. It’s a fast paced page turner with twists upon more twists. The unreliable characters make it so so good. Go into it blind! Only one plot was very easy to guess but not the rest. Her writing style is great and the story has a good flow. There were times my jaw dropped. I will definitely recommend to my fellow readers, especially those that love thrillers!

Thank you @MaryKubica, @HarlequinTradePublushing and @NetGalley for a free e-ARC. The opinions are mine alone and not biased in any way.

She's Not Sorry is a page turner, from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and how twisted the plot was. We have a hospital setting, a single Mom, Meghan ( who is a nurse) with a teenage daughter, an X husband, a possible suicide patient on her care,and her patients parents. Things keep happening on a daily basis, that makes Meghan even more suspicious of everyone around her. Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for allowing me to read this book. I give it a
4 out of 5.

This book is an odd mix of binge-worthy and underwhelming for me.
Every time I picked it up, I flew through it. But a lot of the twist I saw coming. Our main character Meghan also drove me crazy for a bit.

I did enjoy the main plot of the story even though a few of the characters were kind of irritating to me. I liked reading from the perspective of an ICU nurse. This is a thriller that is easy to fly through, especially with the plot twists. It did feel like there was too much going on on the sidelines though. There was another plot happening in the book that seemed random and unnecessary that I could have done without. Overall, not my favorite by Mary Kubica.

If you are looking for a fast-paced thriller to binge, She's Not Sorry is for you.

Here, you are following a single-mom, divorcee, who works as an ICU nurse. One day, a woman who survived a suicide attempt by jumping off a bridge, comes to her ICU bed and is in a coma. While she is trying to help the parents of the patient and the patient herself, she is having to deal with an ex-husband, her teenage daughter who is, well being a teenager....and living in fear of a man who is terrorizing the area and the women who live there.

I found the first several chapters somewhat slow, as we are trying to learn more about all of the characters, but once it picked up...it did not slow down, and was able to finish it in a few hours. This book did not let up with the twists and the drama that unfolded.

This is an easy and solid five stars from me.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the early access to this book.
