"She's Not Sorry" by Mary Kubica delivers a gripping and intricate narrative. When Caitlin Beckett lands in the ICU after leaping from a bridge, various nurses could care for her, but the family insists on nurse Meghan Michaels. As Meghan tends to Caitlin, she uncovers more about her past. Meanwhile, a series of attacks on solitary women adds tension to the narrative. Without revealing too much, the story's complexity keeps readers engaged, although some points may feel repetitive. Nevertheless, the resolution of multiple plot threads is satisfying, even if some outcomes are predictable. Overall, I found this novel highly enjoyable and worthy of recommendation, earning it a solid four-star rating.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book! I thought I had all the twists figured out, but I definitely did not come even close!! I enjoyed the book, it was a little slow at first and it was kind of all over the place at times, but I still enjoyed it! It was my first Mary Kubica book but it won’t be my last!!

I really enjoy this author’s books, and this book is a fun, quick read. I was shocked by one of the twists, but two aspects of the book felt unresolved to me. Wouldn’t the main character be concerned that her daughter would do 23 and Me? Also, how much did Ben know? Despite this, I enjoyed the book and am so grateful for the advanced copy.

A stellar prologue that draws you in and leaves you baffled, I simply needed to know immediately were this book was going.
In the first few chapters we learn of Caitlin who is in ICU for attempted suicide. Meghan our MC is the nurse looking after her. I immediately got the impression that Meghan relates to Caitlin in someway and boy was I surprised by the outcome of this book!
I did find that the book took a bit of a roundabout way to get to the point and some of the content felt unnecessarily drawn out, but it got there in the end. The plot was amazing, the ending felt a but abrupt. But after finishing I feel it did the job well enough.

Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

I am a huge Mary Kubica fan, so thank you Net Galley for allowing me this ARC!

The first 100 pages of this book I struggled through, it was a lot of character and story building. Once I got through that, it picked up and the story was very interesting! The plot twist at the end of part 1 had my jaw on the floor! I really enjoyed this read especially when the plot started thickening. 4/5 ⭐️


⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️




The ending left me with some questions and I am hoping there will be follow up so I can find out what Ben actually knows.

She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is a dark twisty tale. Caitlin Beckett is brought to the ICU after jumping from a bridge. Although different nurses could be assigned to her. The family feel a connection to nurse Meghan Michaels and want her to be their daughter's nurse. Meghan learns more about Caitlin as the days and months pass. During this time, there is a man attacking women who are alone at night. There are other happenings but I don't want to give too much away. There were some times when I felt the point was already made so was redundant but I suppose that's so those who missed it initially can remember it's importance to the story. Because there a few things going on at the same time, it was interesting how it was resolved and I felt some things were easy to guess...although maybe not entirely. I greatly enjoyed this novel and would recommend. 4 stars

LOVED this one! It had me captivated from start to finish. This was my first book by the author but I loved the themes and pacing. Would definitely recommend to any thriller lover!

This is a rare find! A book that I will absolutely tell anyone and everyone to go get it and read it now! This is a definite must read!

Holy moly! Where do I start with this heart pounding read? While I saw “Nat” not being who she claimed to be before that was revealed, I didn’t see the rest coming. I’m not sure if I just missed it but it was confusing to find the book was past and present tense until one of the big reveals. I did guess on who the guy attacking women was! Big clue in the book for that one! I’m not sure how I feel about what she did in the end. I liked that this book had a lot of twists and turns. This was my first book by Mary and it won’t be the last! Thank you NetGalley and Park Row for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I don't even know where to start! Wow, just WOW! It seems like a simple story, different characters and storylines and I kept wondering how or if they would all interconnect.....and then WHAM! Mary Kubica hits me with a shocker.....and then another, and then another and then another!!!! I had to set my Kindle down 3 times and walk the room to gather myself! I will talk about this book for years to come. It is absolutely AMAZING!!!! A must read for anyone who likes twists and turns when you least expect them.

This book is a mess. It reads like starting a maze at the end and working your way backwards to finish but not in a cool way, like Memento. I'm sure the "twist" is meant to be shocking but instead feels discombobulating, as it throws the entire book and timeline into question. The chapters to me felt like they were written out of order, so some reveals felt unearned. Not a book I'd recommend. Also the Kindle formatting is a mess. Hopefully that will be cleaned up before final publishing.

This was a wild ride and one that I'm truly sad is over. I devoured this book!!!! the creepy hospital setting was one I could visualize perfectly it was done so well. If you are looking for an outstanding thriller this is one book to pick up. You have no idea who to trust throughout the entire book and that just made it so much better. Right when you would think you had it figured out, boom another turn and change in mindset. Thank you NetGalley for this amazing ARC.

Can you really keep a secret or does someone else always know it too?

A divorced woman, an abused woman, and a woman in a coma.

Which one of those three will be the one saying that she’s not sorry?

We meet Meghan, a nurse in the ICU and divorced, Nat who is abused and who meets Morgan at a divorce support group, and we meet Caitlin, who was pushed off of a bridge and is now in a coma.

We get very detailed information about each character, but nothing that makes a connection to the three characters and nothing that is earth shattering about the storyline until fifty percent into the book.

But, once the fifty percent mark hits, the tension is heightened and you will be biting your nails.

Who could be behind all of the things happening, and how did Meghan get herself in the middle of it all?

Another good, but slow burn by Mary Kubica with an oh my goodness, unbelievable surprise. 4/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Meghan Michaels is a nurse in the ICU in Chicago. She's just been assigned a woman who jumped off a pedestrian bridge in an attempt to end her life. Doing everything she can for her patient, Meghan gives her the best quality of care she can provide while also doing everything she can for her grieving parents. But the longer she cares for her, the more she learns of her disturbing past. Why does she have such a strained relationship with her parents? Why was she on the run? And who is that mysterious man she saw in her patient's room?

I'm a big fan of Mary Kubica, but honestly this wasn't her best. There were so many different storylines in this book it felt like I was reading three different thrillers at times, and while that's not always a bad thing, they came together in such random ways that it wasn't a believeable plot. There were so many holes in the plot at the end that I was left with more questions than satisfaction. I'm still a fan of Kubica, but not of this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

Meghan is an ICU nurse and one day she is faced with patient that she felt she had to know more about. Meghan digs deep into Caitlin's story and becomes very attached to this patient. So goes so far that she put her and her daughter's life at risk.

I could not get into this one. I normally love Mary Kubica but this one felt very rushed and in a different, amateur voice than seemed unlike Kubica.

Wonderful read! Mary Kubica books have always been great for me, I'm so happy I got to read this one early. It was quite suspenseful, twists and turns you wont see coming. I suspected 1 thing to happen, and it did. But SEVERAL other things also happened back to back that I didn't expect. I love how Mary Kubica always keeps you on your toes while you're reading! A fantastic "who done it" that'll keep you on the edge of your seat!

I received this ARC from NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing to readeview. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this book.

My first read from Kubica was a mystery at every turn. I felt as though the first 47% of the book was a lot of filler. I had no idea what the plot of the book was until halfway through. When the book picked up I truly did enjoy it and was at the edge of my seat the entire time. When the initial twist came, I appreciated how the timeline intersected and was not at all expecting all that had ensued. I will say the last twist seemed quite rushed and not developed enough throughout the entirety of the book. I also would have loved to see the storyline of Caitlin’s family developed a bit more.

Overall, I rate this book 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4) because it had everything I wanted from a mystery and it was genuinely filled with suspense. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

This was a wonderfully thrilling book that kept me on the edge of my seat right up to the very end!. Mary Kubica is a great writer for people who want a book that you won't be able to put down!! Very exciting and surprising!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Do you need a page turner from the start? You won’t want to put this book down as this book draws you in and won’t let go until the end!

Meghan is a divorced single mother working as an ICU nurse. Her work and personal life are equally demanding, especially raising a teenager. She also has to worry about the rise in crime close to her neighborhood and her high-school friend going through a domestic violence situation. Can she juggle it all and stay safe?

Meghan is assigned to Caitlin, a patient who jumped off a bridge over a railroad track, where she is now fighting for her life. This hits close to home as Meghan’s sister died of suicide by jumping from a bridge. There is a man that visits Caitlin. When confronted, he quickly leaves. Caitlin’s father shares information and a voice mail he receives right before her suicide attempt. Is it what it seems? Was she pushed? Who is the man who visited Caitlin? Is he connected to her accident? Are people who they seem to be?

I loved the plot and the unassuming characters that have secrets! The unexpected twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end. Just when you think you have figured it out, something else is revealed. I didn’t see the end coming! A perfect book to take on vacation where you can read for hours. Be sure to add this to your TBR list!
