Many thanks to @htpbooks, @harpercollins, and @netgalley for my #gifted eARC. Pub date 4/2/24.
I got ahead of myself since this book is not publishing until April 2024, but the second I was approved, I moved this to the top of my list! Holy cow, this book was absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Kubica is one of my favorite authors, and I will read anything she writes. This is her best yet, which is hard to beat since her previous books are also amazing!
This was a slow burn thriller, and even though the first half was slower, the leading up to the chaos was done perfectly, I could not stop reading! The second half was a freaking rollercoaster ride, so hold on tight!
Meghan, a seasoned ICU nurse, has a new patient who tried to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Caitlin is in a coma, but as details emerge, Caitlin's family and police think she may have been pushed off the bridge. Meanwhile, there is a man on the loose stalking women and entering their apartments. Meghan has a teenage daughter, so not only is she worried about that she is also dealing with her patient. Add this one to your TBR list!! This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time!

Kubica just keeps getting better and better. This had so many twists and turns, I was suspicious of everyone the entire time! Part 2/the ending pieced everything together just right. I wish the Milo situation had more of an ending, but oh well! Still fantastic.

The newest book from Mary Kubica is here and it's another winner! She's Not Sorry is Kubica's April 2024 release, and even 5 months out, I couldn't wait to start it. I found myself audibly gasping at times reading this one and couldn't stop turning the pages fast enough.
4.5 stars!

Mary Kubica continues to write some of my all time favorite thrillers! Book after book she manages to create the most interesting characters and gripping plots. A must read!

Meghan - a nurse and (recently divorced) single mom to a teenage girl - always had everyone else's best interests in mind. At work, she's caring for a patient, Caitlin, who is in a coma after a botched suicide attempt, while also consoling Caitlins family. At home, she is looking after her angsty teenage daughter. When she runs into an old high school friend who is struggling to leave an abusive marriage, Meghan swoops in to save the day like the carrying person she is. But not everyone needs saving. Not everyone is who they appear to be. Everyone has secrets. Who can she trust?
This book was SO GOOD. The way this story evolved waa so captivating and the twists gave me whiplash! I couldn't put this one down! Thank you #netgalley for this ARC of #shesnotsorry

I received this ARC from Netgalley. Have previously read books by this author and found books to be great or just fell flat. This one was one of the great ones. 4 1/2 star with lord of twists that were unexpected. Thank you for the copy.

Mary Kubica did not disappoint with her newest release! I loved the setting for this one. And I especially loved the shoutout she gave to OTs! The storyline features an ICU nurse caring for her patient whose background and accident keeps you guessing. Kubica does such a good job tying in every storyline and keeping you on your toes with every character. SO many good twists!! This was a hit for me.

Wow! This was a great book! So many twists and turns I never saw coming! Just when I thought I knew what was happening another twist! This book was so unpredictable! I’m a nurse, so it was impressive to see how so many aspects of the protagonist’s job as a nurse were so true to real life. There were just a few things about this story that gave me considerable pause, as they weren’t true to character, but the story was so riveting I didn’t care. I would recommend this book as a true page turner every day! I want to thank the publisher for allowing me to read it and write a review. The review is honest and not influenced by the privilege of being able to read it for free.

Mary kubica newest book, “She’s not sorry” is a psychological thriller that had me hooked from the prologue! I got through this book pretty quickly.
Kubica did do a good job of adding in a lot of twists and turns along the way, although I did figure some of the plot twist out, before it was fully revealed.
Overall I enjoyed the characters in the story, and completely didn’t expect how the story ended. I enjoyed caitlin as the villan but still don’t understand why she targeted Meghan in the first place. Additionally I did think it was weird that their eas no follow up with the Bennett’s and Meghan after what she did with Caitlin.

I was excited to get an ARC copy of She’s Not Sorry because I really enjoyed Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica. This book truly kept me guessing and all the twist and turns truly kept me on my toes. I love a story I cannot easily predict and Mary Kubica truly delivered. The book is fast paced and it kept me engaged and not wanting to put it down. It shows how sometimes good people are at times preyed upon because of how selfless they are but also a good person may have to examine what they would do in the end to save themselves.

ICU nurse Meghan has to care for Caitlin, a beautiful girl that tried to end her life...or did she?
As the story unravels, there are multiple storylines at play. Meghan is trying to protect herself and her daughter--from an ex husband that tries to undermine her, from a killer praying on single women on the streets, from dark characters that seem inevitably bound to her ICU patient with the mysterious past.
The high-stress job, high-risk neighborhood, and highly suspicious family of her patient keep Meghan on edge and naturally build suspense. She's a modern woman with relatable fears, and all the elements keep a reader cruising through the story quickly.
There were definitely a few obvious moments, but overall a solid story worth the investment to read.
Overall: 4 stars
I'll tell my students about: mental health/trauma, death/violence/gore, alcohol, language, suicide, drugs,
**Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for the free ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.**

Mary Kubica's "She's Not Sorry" is a gripping and emotionally charged thriller that kept me spellbound from beginning to end. Kubica's skillful storytelling and intricate plot are the hallmarks of a compelling psychological thriller that you won't be able to put down.
Kubica's writing is both evocative and suspenseful, making it an immersive reading experience. The plot twists and turns, leaving you guessing until the final pages, and the climax is both satisfying and shocking.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mary Kubica for this advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review!

Really well done mystery/thriller with fun twists and turns. The novel falters a bit towards the end as the author throws in too many moving parts.

Mary Kubica does it again! Five bright stars for this gripping psychological thriller. While reading this the dread is palpable. I felt uncomfortable in my skin and was looking over my shoulder while I was home alone. Ma'am, the twists are TWISTING. My mouth was agape, on the floor, in need of a jack stand to bring it back up after the first twist was revealed. And make sure to keep that jack stand close by because it doesn't end there. I went in blind and I recommend you do too. Trust Queen Mary Kubica to take you on a wild ride.
Many, many thanks to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Expected publication date of April 2, 2024.

Mary Kubicas latest thriller was kind of a let down for me. I absolutely loved her most recent novel, Local Woman Missing, but felt that She’s Not Sorry seemed like the work of an early thriller writer, not someone as seasoned as Kubica. The first two third of the book felt like three seperate stories all focused on the same main character. Meghan is an ICU nurse dealing with a patient who fell of a bridge and is now in a coma, Meghan is a mother living alone with her daughter while a violent man is randomly attacking woman in her Chicago neighborhood and Meghan is reunited with a long lost friend from high school. The three plot lines had absolutely nothing to do with each other and felt very disjointed, until of course it all makes sense. I do appreciate how Kubica weaved everything together, but even that was slightly ridiculous and you have to make it through the first two thirds of the book to even see how it comes together.

This book will have you on the edge of your seat. I appreciate how much I had to think with this thriller. I get very annoyed when the plot twists are so obvious. That’s not the case here. So many plot twists that were ALL surprises. Just when you think you have one mystery solved another one gets thrown your way and keeps you guessing and questioning things even more.
There were some questions that were left unanswered for me. I wish I knew what happened with certain characters. They just sort of vanished, but minor details.
This was the first Mary Kubica book that I read instead of listened too. I missed the narrator’s voice, but this book did not disappoint! I may just have to read them in physical format from now on.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Park Row for the digital reviewer’s copy in exchange for my honest review.

I love Mary Kubica and can always count on her for a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller. This book was no exception. Filled with twists and turns, I loved the medical component of this book. The timeline was slightly confusing at times, and I would have loved the background and family history of the main character, Meghan, to have been a little more flushed out, but I enjoyed this nonetheless. The twist felt somewhat obvious, but I had still been guessing up until almost that point, so it kept my interest.
Thank you, NetGalley, for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I am a huge fan of Mary Kubica and so I was so excited to get the opportunity to read She's Not Sorry. This book did not disappoint, I enjoyed the pace of the book, and the way that she slowly brought you into what was going on with each character. Sometimes I found my self so caught up in one aspect of the story that I kind of forgot what else was going on and how it relayed to the plot.
Meghan who is an ICU nurse is juggling a teen and a stressful career. One day a woman arrives at the hospital in a coma after jumping off a local bridge. Although Megan tries to keep her distance, she finds herself roped into this patients life when the family shares some disturbing information about her patient. Soon she find herself caught up in a secret that may put her and her daughter in danger.
This book was right up my alley, with so many different things going on that kept me guessing. The ending left my head spinning, and I couldn't help but wonder what I would do if I found myself in similar circumstances. Great read, Mary Kubica does it again!

As someone who lives in Chicago, I always love picking up Mary Kubica's books -- namely because I can so clearly visualize when she talks about a specific L stop or intersection. Scenery aside, I love how Kubica always creates impossibly possible plot lines, and She's Not Sorry was no exception! There is always *just* enough to keep the plot from becoming overly-fantastical. Overall, a great plot, great setting, great characters, and great pace. With a few twists and turns, this one kept me up all night -- don't sleep on She's Not Sorry!

This is the second book I’ve read by Mary and I will continue to read her books. I’m hooked. I love the constant twists and how I never see how the story will end up. The creepy hospital setting was a nice touch and I feel like this book had me in a constant state of panic and whip lash!!
