Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.
Expected publication date: April 2, 2024
Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse and a recently divorced mother of a teenage daughter. Although she makes it a rule to keep a very firm line between her work life and her home life, Meghan can’t help but sympathize with Caitlin, a young woman who comes into the ER unconscious as the result of a TBI, caused by Caitlin’s tragic jump from a bridge. As Meghan cares for Caitlin, the police conclude that Caitlin did not jump- she was pushed. Meghan knows Caitlin is in a vegetative state and can’t speak for herself, but as more of Caitlin’s life is revealed by those who knew her, Meghan wonders if she has become too close to Caitlin, and if her and her daughter’s life are in danger.
Mary Kubica is no stranger to suspenseful fiction, her best-selling works include novels like “The Good Girl”, “Local Woman Missing” and “When the Lights Go Out” and she keeps getting better and better. Once you read one of Kubica’s books, you find yourself immediately queuing for the next one.
In “She’s Not Sorry”, Meghan is compulsively likable as an ICU nurse and single mother. Although Kubica’s character development is on point, the rapport between protagonist and reader is almost instantaneous. Caitlin is an important character too, and we learn what we need to through the experiences of those around her, although the real mystery is what stories are true. Both women have secrets, and Kubica unveils each one in an addictive and pulse-pounding way.
The twists are epic, with one twist ending just as another one begins. For every plot twist I was able to decipher ahead of time, “Sorry” delivered another equally unexpected one on its heels. Kubica draws all of her plot points together in a succinct and enjoyable conclusion, and I was completely satisfied with the outcome.
Kubica stands out for her creative and well-crafted plots, and for her ability to create tense and suspenseful twists and turns. “She’s Not Sorry” is deliciously addicting, and I can’t wait to read Kubica’s next one!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC of She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica!

This one was a slow burn for the first half but then it picked up and I really enjoyed it! Meghan, an ICU nurse, cares for a patient who jumps off a bridge. When questions surround the circumstances of the patient's suicide, Meghan finds herself in too deep. The plot was a little too slow moving for me but the twists that I didn't see coming make it worth the read!

Thank you to NetGalley for this much anticipated eARC! She's Not Sorry will have your jaw on the floor for the majority of your time spent reading. We follow Meghan, a recently divorced ICU nurse troubled by her latest patient who jumped off a bridge and is now in critical condition. As we learn more about this patient (Caitlin) and what her possible motives may have been, we also get to explore a past relationship of Meghan's from high school. From the first chapter this story sucked me in, and I think Kubica did a wonderful job immersing us into Meghan's life and pulling us along, always leaving us wanting more. Starting around halfway through this book we experience twists and turns I've never seen before in her other books, and this is one of those that, after finishing, has you turning right back to the first page to make even more connections. If She's Not Sorry isn't already on your TBR, go add it now and keep Mary Kubica on your list of authors to watch!

As expected, Mary Kubica's latest novel, She's Not Sorry, is a psychological thriller filled with twists that will keep you anticipating the possibilities until the end. There is a serial killer, a challenging teen, a single mom, several abused/abusive characters, and so much more that all add to the plot and keep things interesting. As is often the case, you'll start to second-guess yourself about what is real and what is not.
Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

I received this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start off by saying that this book took me on a roller coaster ride. It started a little slow for me and it didn't keep my attention. It started to pick up around 30%. I thought that Meghan was involved in too many people's business until I discovered the actual truth. I did feel like the author could've mentioned what happened to the Becketts after the incident. After the incident, they never really mentioned how they felt about the incident. I did figure Luke out pretty quickly. The ending was blah blah. In my opinion, it possibly could be a sequel.

This book was insane!! I could NOT put it down from the very beginning. There were many plots to follow - attacker on the loose, difficult family dynamics, recovering patient at the icu, fellow high school friend randomly popping up…but it was so easy to keep track of everything going on! Every part of the story was engaging and kept me interested. And the TWISTS! I thought everything wrapped up nicely and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a thriller with multiple plot twists. Such a great one!

Yet another page turner from Mary Kubica. I’ve only read a few of her books but this one makes me want to check out more of her work. Well developed characters and an enticing and gripping plot.

This is the first book I have read from this author. This was a well written book and I liked the story. It had a bit of romance, suspense, family issues, and many mysterious characters. So many times I found myself trying to predict how it would end, but I was usually wrong. There were many twists. I highly recommend this book. It is so worth it.

Good read! Definitely recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of Mary Kubica! It was my first by her and i plan on reading more !

I just finished She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica. Her books are always a must read for me as I love the mystery and twists in her books. This one was no different! There were several characters and story lines that seemed separate but yet became twisted up in the end. This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and reading to see the conclusion!

Thanks #NetGalley for the advanced reader copy!

Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the advanced reader copy of this book.

If you are a Mary Kubica fan this book will not disappoint. If you are new to this author then you are in for one heck of a ride for this story.

The prologue of this novel starts out very tense foreshadowing a later chapter in the novel. It was so gripping and a little disturbing I wasn't confident I would make it through the book! But alas, when we circle back around to it...It makes complete sense and isn't quite so scary.

I think most thriller fans are going to love this novel.

I’ve been a fan of Mary Kubica for years and, try as I might to figure things out, the twists and turns always surprise me!

I enjoyed this fast-paced mystery. It had a good twist at the end, but there were other parts that were fairly predictable. Not an exceptional read, but a fun one. Mary Kubica remains reliable within the genre.

This book was definitely dark and disturbing, but there was a compelling aspect to it. It hits on a mother's fear which sometimes makes if hard to read. Definitely worth pushing through.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for sharing the digital review copy of this book with me in exchange for my honest review.

This book had me hooked from the first page. It was a faced paced thriller with some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I really enjoyed Mary Kubica's Local Woman Missing and Just The Nicest Couple. This book will be added to that list!

In She's Not Sorry, we meed Meghan Michaels who is a recently divorced ICU nurse and mom of a teenage daughter. Meghan is a devoted nurse who tries to keep her personal life to herself and also tries not to get involved in the lives of her patients. When Caitlin comes into the ICU after a fall from a bridge the lines get blurred. Even though I was hooked from the first page, the last 30% had me reading as fast as I could and staying up way to late to finish. While I had some things slightly figured out, there were so many surprises that I didn't see coming.

There are heavy topics that were explored and dealt with in a sensitive and appropriate manner such as suicide and domestic violence.

There are multiple story lines going on but they are well written and woven together nicely,

This book will be published on 4/2/24. I highly recommend this book! I was so lucky to get to read this book early!

Thank you NetGalley and Park Row Publishing for allowing me to voluntarily read an advanced copy of this ebook. I voluntarily read it and gave my honest review.

Wow! This book was amazingly full of twists and turns! I never knew what was coming next! Great character depictions of Meghan and Caitlyn. So exciting to see how everything came together and made sense! Another outstanding read by Mary Kubica!

Synopsis:
Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse, but when a patient comes in from a supposed suicide attempt by jumping off a bridge, she starts feeling a little more uneasy in her life. The patient Caitlin is in a coma when someone comes forward to tell the police they think she was pushed off the bridge after witnessing her fighting with someone else. Meghan is already trying to balance a divorce, a moody teenage daughter, their city being ravaged by a serial killer, and caring for a high school friend in an abusive marriage who has appeared suddenly after not seeing her for 20 years. This new murder investigation is the last thing Meghan needs in her life.

I have loved the books that I have read by Mary Kubica in the past, but this one fell a little short for me. By my synopsis I wrote, you can probably already tell there is a lot of story lines going on in this book. I love Mary’s writing, but the multiple, non connected plots is the reason why I gave it only 3 stars. The plot was a little slow and dry until 65% into the book. One of the plot twists was very predictable to me, but the second one I didn’t see coming. The first one was predictable to me due to my understanding from reading so many thrillers that side characters always have a reason for being included. I think I didn’t see the second one coming because there are two separate plots in this book. 1. The serial killer in town, and 2. solving the mystery of Caitlin’s attempted murder. The whole book I assumed these two plot lines would collide and there would be a common factor. That was not the case. The whole book is centered around Caitlin’s attempted murder with a very sparse mention of the serial killer every once in a while. Imagine my surprise when the serial killer plot is what finishes out the book in all the dramatics of a typical thriller ending. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed the book, but I can’t stop wondering why the plots were separate with no connection. I would have enjoyed the book a lot more if the plots were related some how.

Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row for this early copy in return for my review

Finally! The page-turning thriller I’ve been looking for. I audibly gasped in the last 25% of the book. She’s Not Sorry is fast-paced, twisty, dark, and unpredictable. I devoured it! The characters were well-developed and sympathetic, I wanted to root for them, but I also didn’t know if I should trust ANY of them. The plot was structured in such an interesting way, it kept me on my toes the entire book. I also loved the settings of the hospital and the dark city streets of Chicago with a serial killer on the loose. I am also going to need a copy of this book for my shelf because I LOVE the cover. Colorful thrillers are my favorite.

Thank you, Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

I loved this book! I will definitely recommend it. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

What a wild ride!!! Mary Kubica does it again! There were so many things happening in the story that I should’ve seen coming that I totally missed, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how good this book was. She is one of my favorite authors, and her writing style and the way she draws you in to her stories is just incredible. 4 stars all the way!
