I really really really wanted to like this book. I would start to enjoy it and then all of the sudden I was confused about time periods, character plots etc. It had a lot of potential and I had no problem finishing it but it just felt like the story lines were all over the place and didn't really stitch together in the end. Thank you NetGalley for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Mary Kubica will always be an auto-buy author for me, because LOCAL WOMAN MISSING was one of the more fun thrillers I've ever read! Sadly, for this title, I'm stuck between 2 and 3 stars! Although I got through this book really quickly, every time I put my Kindle down, I didn't think about it, and when I went to pick it back up I had to keep kind of reminding myself what I was reading. It just didn't feel like it captured my interest. I honestly should have DNF'd but pushed through.

The twists and turns were there but they were steam rolled past so quickly I was like Oh okay, that answers that question I guess! There was a lot of red herrings (aka distractions or "look over there!" moments) that ended up not amounting to anything, and that was annoying that I wasted my time on those lol.

Overall, I'm glad I finished it! It had a great ending that I was happy with but I don't think I'd recommend it! Instead, absolutely read LOCAL WOMAN MISSING if you haven't yet!

Uggh. I just have to start with that. I know not every book is for everyone, but this book came very close to a DNF for me. I was really intrigued from the start but as it dragged on I became less interested. I found the narrator whiny and overly paranoid. Shes a busy body with no boundaries. The timeline just didn't make sense to me. It was difficult to decipher between present and past memories. If that was the point, it just didn't like it. There were storylines that came off unfinished. Questions that weren't answered. I can keep going but honestly I don't want to give this book anymore of my time.

What a treat! A great read! Several threads masterfully woven together creating a psychological thriller with twists, and unexpected turns.

The book is engaging from the beginning, well paced, and hard to put down. I completed it in one sitting.

Thank you to author, publisher, NetGalley for advanced audio copy. This is an honest voluntary review.

Thank you to Net Galley for an early copy of this book. I am a huge Mary Kubica fan, and after feeling a little disappointed by her previous book, I was thrilled to have a book that I couldn't put down for anything. I finished this in a day and a half because it was so good. Mary is GREAT at throwing in twists that you never can predict and at the perfect time, and she delivered in this book. I was so excited to read this based on the description and I was not disappointed! Look for this book to be released on April 2nd.

I was super excited to receive this book, because I have loved 2 of Mary Kubica's previous releases (listed below).

For a book club I lead, we selected and read Local Woman Missing. We were astounded at Mary Kubica's ability to write natural twists and turns that kept us guessing for the entirety of the novel. We all agreed we couldn't wait to read her upcoming release!

After this, I requested and received an ARC (thank you!!) of Just The Nicest Couple and greatly enjoyed it! Safe to say, Mary Kubica is on my list of auto-read authors at this point. 🙂

However, I was a bit disappointed by She's Not Sorry. I felt it was a bit slow, and when things did get interesting, there weren't the out of blue twists I've come to expect of Mary Kubica's stories. Additionally, after the ending, I was left wondering if I was missing pages. I felt like the ending was rushed and there was almost no explanation as to why everything just went down the way it did (if you know, you know). That said, it was an entertaining and bingeable read , and I look forward to reading Mary Kubica's future releases!

THIS WAS SO JUICY. I love Mary Kubica books and this just might take first place for her best book yet. This thriller follows an ICU nurse caring for a patient who mysteriously fell off a bridge. There is SO much more to it than that, but going in blind to this book made it so much fun. The twist and turns kept me guessing and gasping, and I literally could not put it down until I finished it! This will be a top contender for best thriller of the year for me!

This is one of kubicas best! So many twists to list ! The story focuses on Meghan and her daughter sienna a high school teenager who is going through typical teenage brattyness. Meghan is an ICU nurse caring for a suicide survivor. She runs into an old high school friend one night and also meets her patients parents who seem to become very attached to her. As well a fellow nurse seems to follow her around. All of these characters have secrets making this one of her best! Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

I give thriller authors way too many chances I'm realizing. I've only rated Mary Kubica's books 1 or 2 stars. Since she's so popular, I thought I'd give her another shot. However, here I am giving this book 2 stars. It went from such a slow book to being so wildly out there and unbelievable. I'm all for suspension of disbelief when it comes to thrillers and mysteries, but this one went too far. I won't say more to avoid any spoilers. What I want from a thriller is a super fast page-turner and some fun twists at the end. This book did neither for me, so that's why I'm giving it the low rating. The writing is also just not my cup of tea.

This book grabbed me from the start. Lots of twists and turns and a great mystery. I highly recommend.

She's Not Sorry
A Psychological Thriller
by Mary Kubica
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved the book and how well it was put together.
The suspense and action was written and expressed extremely well . It was timed perfectly, and is definitely worth the read! I was so immersed in the book and finished it in less than a day.
I definitely will be adding more of her books to my tbr list. I wish I could fly through the rest of my books that I am behind on reviews for the way I did this one. I would be caught up in no time.

I just want to say Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this story . I truly appreciate it. I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions I have expressed are my own.

OMG! THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!! This book sucked me in right from the start! It got more intense with each page turn. So many twists I didn’t see coming!!!!! A must read!!

Thank you NetGalley and Park Row for the digital ARC! She's Not Sorry is the latest thriller from Mary Kubica. Meghan Michaels is a dedicated nurse and devoted mother. She works hard to care for her daughter as well as her patients. When a new patient, Caitlin, a woman who fell from a bridge and is now in a coma, enters Meghan's care, she finds herself growing closer to the woman's family, but with a string of attacks against women, and a new witness comes forward claiming Caitlin was pushed, Meghan must navigate the dangers drawing closer to her and her daughter. Thrilling with surprising twists and turns, She's Not Sorry is sure to please readers looking for a non-stop page-turner.

The twists and turns! Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for allowing me to read an ARC of She’s Not Sorry.

This book follows Megan, a nurse and divorced mother of a teenage girl. When Megan is assigned to a coma patient who supposedly jumped from a nearby bridge, she finds her job (and life) to get surprisingly complicated.

I’ll admit that it took me a minute to get fully into the story- there are a lot of plot lines that eventually come together in exciting ways, but make the first half a bit slow. Once I reached the second half, though, I was hooked and had a hard time putting it down! I found a few of the twists a bit predictable, but some of them really blew my mind! Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a thriller.

Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Mary never disappoints, another 5 star read! This book was fast paced, with so many twist and turns right to the very end. If you love a good thriller, I highly recommend this one.

She's Not Sorry follows Meghan an ICU Nurse as she tries to navigate her life as a newly single mom. During a shift at the hospital, a patient is brought in after jumping from a bridge. Did she jump or was she pushed?

Overall, I liked this book. I spent the first half of the book trying to figure out the twist some correctly guessed and others not. Did I think it was better than Local Woman Missing? No, but it was a fun quick read. I did feel like I still had questions at the end but who doesn't love to continue to think about the ending long after finishing the book!? 4/5 stars.

Thank you to netgalley for providing an ARC of this book!

This book was a page turner! So many twists and turns. Kept me reading when I should have been sleeping or cleaning!

Love Love Love Mary Kubica and this was one of my most ancitipcated of the year! This was a good read - I really enjoyed this book. I'm so glad that I got the chance to read it early and will definitely be recommending it to multiple people who enjoy these types of novels. I enjoyed the characters and especially enjoyed the writing by this author. I'm excited to see what the author comes out with next as I'll definitely be reading it! Thank you to the publisher for my early copy of this book!

I am a regular reader of Mary Kubica's new release so I was excited to get this chance to read "She's Not Sorry" in advance. Ms Kubica is a good writer, particularly with character development.

However this book was a struggle to get into and stick with. It felt dragged out and predictable in the end. I may try the audiobook to see if that helps keep my attention but overall this wasn't my favorite of Mary Kubica's.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in advance of publication.

I was excited to start this one. I was intrigued from the start then I found it got a little boring towards the middle. Wasn’t my fave by her but the twists were good and my heart was pounding but it wasn’t until about 30% left of the book.
