Great, twisty plot with turns you dont see coming! Highly recommended! Characters are interesting and intriguing.

Meghan Michaels is a nurse, recently divorced, and trying to raise a teenage daughter. To say she is stretched thin is an understatement. From the opening line to the last sentence this book is a thrill ride with twists and turns you do not see coming. The only reason this is not a solid 5 stars is there are some answered questions that I would have loved see play out. The story could be left as a stand alone, but I would love to see more about Meghan and her life in Chicago, hopefully her story will continue.

Wow! Really engaging and different book. I read the whole thing in two sittings. Twisty and dark with complex characters. Start this book early so you can read it in one sitting and not stay up all night! Skip if you don't like some descriptions of medical procedures/hospital setting.

Probably the most exciting and thrilling book I have read this year. I stayed up way too late to finish the book. The twists were very clever and shocking I never saw them coming. There were also secrets, secrets that could change the lives of more than one character.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This review has been posted on my Goodreads account.

Did I just binged this book in less than 24 hours? Yes, yes I did. When I say I’m in the mood for thriller this is what I mean. A binge worthy ride.

My Thoughts-
Okay soooooo my jaw was on the floor. I devoured this one. This book was truly a ride. Like I kept thinking to myself, “oh this is how the story is going to turn out” and I was wrong every single time. What I loved most about this book was the way the author successful weaves together multiple dark storylines. Kept me guessing until the very end. This is a slow burn book but once everything starting unfolding , I kept getting whiplash…like waaaait let me catch up and breathe for a second. *chef kiss*There is one twist halfway through that had me questioning what I had just read. I had to go back and read the paragraph for a second time just to absorb the shock. feel like this one of those thrillers you have to pay attention to every detail because it was mentioned for a reason.

This is my first book by Mary Kubica and I’m excited to check out her other work. I recommend this book to all Thriller/Mystery lovers. She’s not sorry will be available to read on 4/2/2024 add this book to your TBR.

“It’s all anyone is talking about, the woman who dropped over twenty feet from a bridge and just nominally survived.”
Here are reasons to read the Thriller book:

A Nurse - Meghan is a nurse working in a hospital when a patient comes in
A Jumper - Caitlin has jumped from a bridge and they are not sure if she will survive
A Stalker - Additionally there have been some reports of a stalker that is attacking women as well. How is it all connected?

I was originally drawn to this book because of the purple cover and who wrote it. But I have to say that this book is very slow to get going. The first ⅔ is really all about Meghan caring for Caitlin as well as connecting with an old high school friend. But then a major twist happens in the last third of the book and everything gets turned on it’s head. This is where it gets very intense and crazy. I think I would have rated it higher if the pacing was more consistent. However, I would say, this book really took me by surprise for a thriller.

Cue Taylor swift’s “you’re not sorry” which was stuck in my head the whole time while reading this. My first by this author and I was pleasantly surprised! Didn’t see the twist coming and I’m excited to read more by her.

I just finished up this ARC for @marykubica upcoming release, She's Not Sorry - and I absolutely loved this. This story gripped me from the first page. This is definitely more of a slow burn but in my opinion, worth it. The pacing of this book allowed for Mary to slowly bring you into what was going on with each character.

This book follows Meghan, an ICU nurse, divorced, and navigating raising a teenage daughter. One day a patient comes in to the ICU, in a coma, after jumping off of a bridge. Meghan tries to keep her distance but she finds herself sucked into this patient, her family, and what really happened at the bridge. But with that comes danger, not only for her but for her daughter.

This book was truly a ride. It was everything I look for in a thriller, with so many different things that keep you guessing and a twisty ending that you'd never expect. Another amazing, TBR worthy book from Mary! Release date April 2, 2024. 💫

Thank you to @netgalley, @marykubica, and @harlequinbooks for this ebook ARC in exchange for my honest review. 📚

As a nurse, I enjoyed reading the point of view of the main female nurse character in this book. Sometimes slow burn thrillers like this bother me. While the characters were well-developed and the premise for the book was intriguing, I was confused with the timeline (it wasn't very clear about the timing of Meghan and Caitlin's reconnection and Caitlin's becoming the patient). I also felt that the slow build-up of the book's first half led to a real let-down of an ending.

This book was definitely entertaining, and kept me hooked until the end. There were a lot of complicated pieces to the story, and I got a bit confused by the timeline. Overall, this is a good solid read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After a bit of a slow start, Mary Kubica's latest kicks into full gear about a third of the way in. The twists come fast and furious with an ending that, even though I saw it coming, still knocked it out of the park. Another solid offering from Ms. Kubica and an altogether great read.

I absolutely loved this book! Fantastic plot, great character development and it's a fast read! I would definitely recommend this book to friends and my bookclubs for a future read!

It was a nice quick read. I liked it but figured out the ending about halfway through. Was hoping for a few more plot twists but overall was a great read and I’d highly recommend.

An interesting psychological mystery with twists that will surprise you up to the end. Not quite a thriller, but an intriguing read.

This was a great book! I kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I loved the characters and become invested in them and couldn’t wait to find out what happened. I also love the writing style. All the characters and events were described in such a way that you feel like you are there. The twists and turns happened around each corner and I could not wait to find out how it ended. Overall, I give this book 4 stars as it was a gripping thriller and I could not predict the plot twists or the ending.

I agree with others about this being slow to start but then it really picks up. Did not see the twist coming and the second half kept me turning the page! I tend to enjoy Mary's work and this one was solid.

This was a bit of a slow burn for me in the beginning, but it picked up and left me unable to put it down!

Meghan Michaels is a recently divorced ICU nurse raising a teenaged daughter in Chicago. Her latest patient is a young woman suspected of jumping from a bridge. As the patient clings to life, we’re left wondering if she really was suicidal or if there’s something more sinister beneath the surface.

Several seemingly-disconnected story lines came together nicely for me and kept me guessing until the end. I thought I had it figured out, but I was sorely mistaken.

I’m a huge Kubica fan and was thrilled to receive the ARC from NetGalley. I can’t wait to discuss further when the book is released April 2.

Mary Kubica is a hit or miss for me, but this one was a hit. I give it a solid 3.5 stars - I didn't see the big twist coming, but the last few pages felt very rushed. You won't be sorry to read this one :)

Thanks so NetGalley for the ARC (advanced readers copy) of this one in exchange for my review.

What a read; it’s addictive, it’s gripping and the suspense is through the roof!!

This book kept me on the edge of my sofa, unable to take my eyes off of it as my heart raced and the twists kept throwing me off balance.

The plot is very-well executed and the writing will hook you up and keep you invested throughout the entirety of this intense rollercoaster.

And that ending?! It kept getting crazier and crazier, I honestly had troubles catching my breath.

Were some things a tad far-fetched? Yes! How about the loose ends? I thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling ride that I did not mind.

From now on, I will read anything written by this author :D

She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica was an enjoyable, twisty read. The mother/daughter relationship between Meghan and Sienna was believable and heartwrenching. The plot twists kept me very invested. I couldn't put the book down!

Meghan, an ICU nurse in Chicago uncovers a patient's surprising past and struggles to remain emotionally detached. Her relationships with those around her are tenuous.

This one had me guessing from start to finish.
