WOW!!!! Thank you So much, NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the Arc of this Fantastic novel!
Holy cow, this needs to be at the TOP of your TBR!
I don't know how to share the good stuff without any spoilers 😆
This story hooked me right from the start. Absolutely unputdownable! I was completely immersed in Meghan's character and felt like I was in her shoes the whole time.
I will admit, I got a little confused with the timeline at first, but it all came together nicely. It was like looking at two sides of a coin at the same time. I don't know how else to explain it, just trust me 😜
And that bomb of a twist?! Or should I say bombS and twistS (plural) 💣💥🤯 Yup, brilliantly done! Now I want to go back and reread it 😁
4.5 🌟 and my favorite Kubica novel to date.
What a ride! 🤘🤩

She’s Not Sorry

I want to thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

Yes Yes annnnd YES! I love this book but of course I devour and love everything that Mary Kubica has and will ever write! This book took a minute for me to get into but once I got going there was no stopping me. I am a sucker or a delicious thriller. You get a creepy scary hospital setting for this story following Meghan, who has a lot going on with her personal life with herself and her teenage daughter and on top of being a busy ICU nurse. Meghan is caring for a woman who tried to k!ll herself by jumping off of a bridge or did she……this is where the story gets wild and twisty and crazy! This is one of those books that you need to make sure to take in ALL of the story and ALL of the details that our author puts in. I sat for a while after this book was over and was so sad it was over but wow was it such an amazing read. I cannot wait for what is next for Kubica!

It took a while to really get going but once it did, I was hooked. the arc had weird formatting but that's not the writer's fault. the first twist actually caught me off guard. I live for a morally gray narrator. it did remind me a bit of the silent patient, but I liked that book so it's okay. this would make a great movie.

Excellent thriller. Thanks for the arc, as always Kubica has put out an impressive work! Cheers! Our protag is an er nurse, a fittingly thrilly job. And she’s dealing with three issues: helping an old friend, taking care of a patient, and a mysterious man murdering women near her house.

She's Not Sorry had a couple twists- one that caught me off guard and another that I saw coming a mile away. The first half of the book has a tense pace and felt creepy in the best way but the second half fell a bit and I started to not care about the story/plot/characters. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This was a crazy thriller that kept you guessing. There was a twist that I didn’t see coming, but it had me questioning the timeline of events and made me want to go back and see if there was any discrepancies. I felt like there was a side story that was a little unnecessary, but I think that the author was trying to divert attention for suspense. It was a good story and I love everything Mary Kubica writes. I’m so thankful for NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Well no surprise to me at all, the QUEEN of thrillers does it again. I was absolutely glued to this story from the start. Very entertaining and the characters were great too. The story is about Meghan, a recently divorced mother of a teenage daughter who dedicates her life to nursing. While on duty one night Meghan is assigned to a young woman who came into the ER who is in a coma after a 20 foot fall from jumping off a bridge. Was she pushed or did she try to end her life. Meghan tries to focus on her own daughter and her personal life without becoming too attached to the coma patient and her family. It is only when Meghan starts to dig a little too deeply that she realizes she may have put her own life and her daughter's life in danger.....Enjoy!!!

Mary Kubica does it again. Lots of twists in this latest story. You are rooting for the protagonist...and she needs it! Didn't see this one coming.

I am a big fan of Mary Kubica! Her writing is incredibly captivating and never fails to leave me in awe.

Kubica excels at weaving a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat by injecting doubt into each character introduced. This skillful manipulation makes it impossible to determine who to trust or who is truly at fault. The twist in "She's Not Sorry" was a pleasant surprise for me – perhaps seasoned mystery readers might have seen it coming, but it completely caught me off guard. Around the 60% mark, I found myself glued to the book, unable to put it down until I reached the end. Kubica's storytelling holds her audience in a vice grip, with all the characters being compelling and the plot shrouded in uncertainty.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I did find Meghan's character a bit gullible towards the end. Given everything she had been through, it seemed implausible for her to casually share crucial information with others. Despite this minor quibble, the story was a genuine page-turner. The well-established relationships, both romantic and platonic, added depth to the characters and left me constantly guessing about their motives.

The ending was another highlight for me. Kubica's writing keeps delivering surprises, and I was left eagerly anticipating what comes next. Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

Thank you NetGalley, Park Row Books, and Mary Kubica for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I think this might be my favorite Kubica novel yet, and if you know how much I’ve loved her backlog that is high praise!

There is a killer twist (no spoilers don’t worry!) that comes at the end of Part One that truly blew my mind. I did not see it coming one bit.

Kubica has proven again that she is a thriller queen, and as always I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

I can't stop thinking about this book. I think I am still in shock!

Meghan is an ICU nurse, recently divorced, and a mom to a teenage daughter. She has a lot going on and not a lot of friends. She gets to work one day and everyone is talking about the new patient, Caitlin, who fell off a bridge and is in a coma. Did she Jump or was she pushed? Meghan is assigned Caitlin as her patient and she feels connected to her and can't stop thinking about her, even when she isn't at work.

I really liked this book and I am so happy that I received an advance reader copy through NetGalley. I enjoyed the story and it kept my attention. It was fast-paced and full of drama and secrets. I would definitely recommend this one!

This book was absolutely amazing!! From start to finish. So many twists and turns that are so unpredictable!! 5 stars!! Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints!! She's Not Sorry will have you breathless!!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for approving my request to read “She’s Not Sorry” by Mary Kubica as an ARC.

Let me start by saying…WOW. WHAT A RIDE. Right from the beginning, this book is fast paced and will have you hooked, dying to know what happens next. There are several moving parts to this story and the plot is complex; but Kubica KNOWS how to tie a story together and throw plot twists that you truly didn’t see coming.

🌉 BOOK / REVIEW 🌉

Ok, guys. This.👏freaking.👏.book.👏

Holy hell - I could simply say this is a MUST read and feel confident that I accomplished my goal of spreading the word about #shesnotsorry by @marykubica, but this one deserves an explanation!

The first half of the book will suck you in and sets an incredible scene for the remainder of the novel. Without giving too much away, there are a lot of subplots that seem disjointed, but I promise it all comes together. An "attempted" suicide, the rekindling of an old high school friendship, the trials and tribulations of a working single mother, and a creepy stalker attacking women at random - just to name a few.

And my jaw literally DROPPED on the floor as soon as the second part was unveiled. It was a non-stop adrenaline drive until the very end. I couldn't decide if I was on the same side as Meghan or if I thought she was unhinged 🤣. You can’t help but binge read this book - it was such a fun rollercoaster of a #thriller.

Mary - YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT! Add this to your April #tbr - you will not want to miss it. Thank you so much @parkrowbooks and @netgalley for my #gifted copy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first book I’ve read by Mary Kubica so I was excited to read it. Our main character Meghan Michaels is a newly divorced mom of a teenager, working as an ICU nurse at a Chicago hospital. One of her patients is a survivor of a suicide attempt. While navigating life’s many challenges (teenage daughter, divorce, difficult job) there is also the fact that there is a serial offender out there in Chicago, attacking women like her, and also…an old high school friend has come into Meghan’s life again. Nothing is as it seems.

Told in first person present tense (not my favorite narrative style), it started out with a bang but turned out to be a very, very slow burn of a suspense novel. I started to wonder if this perhaps was just a book about a nurse’s life, because there was almost no suspense in the first half. The extremely slow pace only picked up well after the midpoint but unfortunately, it was not enough to save this book. It is hard to review without spoilers. I will just have to say that Kubica resorts to literary devices commonly overused in modern books of suspense and there was nothing to make this one stand out in the sea of similar books.

Well she does it again! I’m always amazed and shocked at Mary’s brilliant writing and twists and turns. She is a master of suspense for sure! I loved this mother daughter twisty thriller/mystery! 5 stars!

I am now an autobuy reader for Mary Kubica. I couldn’t put this down the twist caught me off guard. A one day thriller ride !

This was a twisty ride, and I loved every second of it!
This wild ride starts off with a call to Megan by an unknown man saying he has her daughter.
Then the book flashes back.
Megan is a divorced mother of one and works as an ICU nurse. She attends a divorce support group and, during one meeting, runs into a familiar face, Nat. She can’t help but notice Nate’s hesitant demeanor and the bruise on her hairline. She quickly realizes Nat is going through some things and offers to help her. Megan is also struggling at work when a woman who attempted suicide in the same manner as Megan’s sister becomes her patient.

In true Mary Kubica fashion, she makes everything come together perfectly with a bow in the end. I’m kicking myself for leaving this ARC on the shelf for so long. It was a perfect thriller. I LOVED the foreshadowing at the beginning of the book and how it was just brushed off later. Amazing!

Caitlin Beckett rolls into the hospital, and the gossip spreads like wildfire—apparently, she took a leap off a pedestrian bridge, aiming for the suicide route. But wait, once her folks show up, they start sketching a completely different portrait of Caitlin. The plot thickens, my friend. Turns out, Caitlin might not be the daughter her parents thought she was—or maybe she’s exactly who they thought she was.

Now, the cops dive into the whole attempted suicide thing. Lo and behold, a witness steps up, claiming they saw someone else on the bridge. Plot twist: Caitlin might not have taken the plunge; she might’ve been pushed. The Becketts, Caitlin’s folks, take a shining to Meghan and start spilling their guts, hoping Meghan can alter the grim destiny looming over their daughter. But, hold up, some bizarre encounters with Caitlin’s brother and father make you realize there’s some funky business afoot.

Somewhere in the mix of pages, this story had potential. Yet, as it dragged on, I lost interest. Honestly, it felt like there was just too much happening. Why’s Caitlin tangled up in Meghan’s life? What’s with the focus on some guy assaulting women in the hood? And why are we so invested in the Becketts? In the end, the story fell flat, just like it did at the close of Part One.

Crossing my fingers this is just the kickoff to a series, and another book will spill the tea on what the heck just went down. If this is the whole enchilada, count me disappointed.

2.5/5. This book starts to finally pick up about 65% of the way through. There are a few early clues that make you wonder who is really who and if they are who they say they are. I found the timeline a little confusing at first, and was quite perplexed by the end. There were a lot of hints/clues that were planted earlier in the book that were completely ignored at never mentioned again. However, while reading I did want to know what would happen to Meghan, her daughter and Caitlin, but when all was revealed, I was quite disappointed. An interesting book, but one that I would probably skip.

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC in exchange fo my honest review!
