First of all I have to say I LOVE Mary Kubica’s books and this one is no exception. It is fast paced, keeps you guessing, and has lots of twists (some were obvious) & other twists kept you guessing and kept the story even more interesting.
This was an easy & enjoyable read, I loved the alternating chapters


Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing, NetGalley & Mary Kubica for an ARC of She’s Not Sorry in exchange for an honest review.

This was an excellent thriller that kept me guessing the whole time! It was unexpected and fresh. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this ARC. I absolutely loved it! It was so good. It kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing until the very end. It was definitely hard to read at some points in the story bc I related so closely to it. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Holy smokes! I thought I had this book figured out! Part 2 took me for a bit of a loop! I did guess some part and others, well, I did not. This was a fun mystery to put together to see how all the small details added up to the big picture. If you like to guess what is going on and then being wrong, or only partially correct, this is for you. Mary Kubica did a great job with the character and plot building of this book! She definitely did not disappoint. This was a bit of a slow burn in the beginning but once it picked up, it picked up fast!

I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK! Thank you for the opportunity to read it. The plot was unique and I didn’t see the twists and turns! I was on the edge of my seat particularly the last hour of reading! I couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this book to all my thriller loving readers!

I love Mary Kubica’s books and this one is no exception. It’s fast paced and keeps you guessing. Mary’s characters are always relatable and each book cements her as a star in domestic thrillers.

This was fabulous and different which is not easy in this genre. I figured out a few twists but certainly not all of them! Really good and I read over one day. Couldn't put it down!!

This is one of those books where you don't trust anyone. Some of the twists felt pretty obvious but there was enough happening and other twists to keep it interesting and the story moves pretty quickly. I was annoyed with how often Meghan came off as too trusting and naïve but yet at the same time seemed to be very conscious that she should be careful and concerned with safety.

When single mother and nurse Meghan has a surprise run-in with a high school friend, her already difficult to balance life goes from hectic to disaster.

This was a twisty, turny, entertaining thriller novel. I predicted some twists, but not others. While it times I felt a little bit of a disconnect with Meghan and all of her actions, I still greatly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it! Big thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this one!

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mary Kubica for this ARC in exchange for my honest review! OMG, I loved this book. I couldn't put it down, It definitely kept me guessing until the end, and I didn't find it predictable at all. The main character is very relatable and i was hoping for her to be ok at the end. I also enjoyed mother/daughter/ ex-husband relationships struggles in this book, so realistic! I think it's a fantastic thriller, and Mary Kubica's writing style is amazing. It should be considered an easy vacation read. 4 solid stars from me.

I love these types of stories - the kind where you think you know where it's headed and them BAM 50% in it all changes. The stories focuses on Meghan, an ICU nurse who is caring for her patient Caitlin who has had similar injuries to Meghans' sister. Meghan gets that call no mother wants where you child needs help. How the stories are different yet intertwined is amazingly written. Only "comment" I've had is that it was a bit of a slow burn to me. Started off a bit slot, but then picked up and was hard to put down. I love all of Mary Kubica's books and this one did not disappoint.

This was good -- I liked the pacing and the twists. The alternating chapters definitely worked. I think this is elevated compared to Kubica's previous novels, and I hope it does well upon publication!

Well, I’m not sorry I read this book. I was in the mood for a fast, suspense/mystery and that’s exactly what I found with this book. I don’t know if I’d say what happens in the book is entirely original (it reminds me of another thriller, but I don’t want to spoil it by saying which one), but for the most part I didn’t see the main plot twist coming. For how fast and easy of a read this, I don’t think you’ll be sorry about picking this book, either!

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for providing me with an advanced reader's copy of this book. It's always a pleasure to dive into a story before it hits the shelves.

As for the book itself, I'd rate it a solid 3/5. The narrative was a bit of a slow starter, and it took me until about the 65% mark to feel that the story truly picked up momentum. While the beginning did seem to drag for quite some time, I was ultimately rewarded with an engaging plot.

The story revolves around Meghan Michaels, a single mom to a teenage daughter who's trying to balance her role as a full-time nurse. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a patient named Caitlin arrives at the hospital in a coma after a traumatic brain injury from a fall off a bridge.

Meghan, who typically maintains emotional detachment from her patients, finds herself emotionally intertwined with Caitlin's life and her family's turmoil. Only too late does she realize that both she and her daughter might become the next targets.

The book delves into an intriguing web of mystery and suspense, which eventually makes up for the slow start. Once the plot gains traction, it's an engrossing read, full of unexpected twists and turns.

Thank you once again for the opportunity to discover this book, and I'm certain that many readers will find the suspenseful journey it offers to be well worth the initial patience.

This is my fourth book by Mary Kubica. I love her writing style. She gets me hooked at the beginning of the story and I’m always surprised by the ending. I highly recommend Mary’s books.
I received this galley from NetGalley.

Really enjoyed this one! I thought I knew what was coming but this twisty thriller kept me guessing until the end. It was the perfect quick read, thanks for the advanced copy netgalley!

I’ve been a Mary Kubica fan since The Good Girl nearly a decade ago and have read everything by her since.

I found to do be a slow burn, which I am typically a fan of. I wasn’t super invested until “Part 2” (which was like 70% of the way in) and everything happened all at once.

The *big twist* admittedly caught me by surprise! I should have seen it coming having read so many thrillers but was genuinely surprised. While some minor plot twists I did predict.

Not my favourite but also not my least favourite.

3.5 stars

3.5/5 stars

An easy and enjoyable read, She's Not Sorry takes us on a journey in the life of ICU nurse Meghan Michaels. Meghan is a newly-divorced single Mom to a 16 year old daughter. In this novel, we see her navigate caring for a patient with a story that's a bit too close to Meghan's past history, while also having to juggle keeping herself and her daughter safe in an increasingly scary city. But what happens when the danger railroads right through her world? Is there anyone she can trust or is everyone a threat to her and her daughter?

The storyline was fairly predictable, so I saw what was coming before it actually happened, but overall I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys easy-to-follow thriller/suspense novels.

Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Mary Kubica and NetGalley for the free e-book in exchange for my honest opinion about this novel.

4 Solid Stars.

A twist I didn't see coming...

I really enjoyed this book... I found it to be totally bingeable, a quick fast paced thriller with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat, all while flipping pages as fast as you can.

We follow Meghan Michaels a 40 year old ICU nurse who is recently divorced and living in a small 2 bedroom apartment with her 16 year old daughter Sienna. In order to be cost efficient they don't live in the best of areas in the Chicago area, living directly under the L train and in not necessarily a bad neighborhood, but again, not the best.

Meghan works at the hospital roughly about a mile from home and often commutes to and from work by walking. Normally, sure, no big deal but in recent news there's a man who has been believed to be stalking women around her area to catch his victims by surprise as they're entering their homes which is when he attacks and assaults them and or r@pes them which escalates to murder.

She finds herself caring for a mysterious woman on her nursing unit. She is still struggling with her divorce and is happy to find solace in an old friend from high school in her support group. After her friend mysteriously disappears, the story starts unraveling a lot of twists and explains a much more complicated history than originally thought.

Kubica did such a good job at conveying this fear through her words - it was palpable. I had shivers many times while reading, and thinking to myself... walk faster Meghan, why don't you just take the train Meghan, why don't you have some sort of protection, Meghan?!?

Not only that, but these characters are all perfect- I was suspicious of almost every single one of them. You never really feel comfortable about any of them and so you continue to go through the book second guessing yourself and questioning their actions and motives.


Anyway, there are a few storylines going at the same time and again Kubica does an amazing job because honestly I was stunned when I read the words to one of the twists- like wait what? I had to go back and think on it. I don't often find myself completely caught off guard while reading thrillers but this one had me literally pause to take a beat.

One of the plot twists I did figure out fairly early, but again, this book has you questioning everyone to the point that if it went another way I'd be saying I figured it out as well because these characters were all so sketch lol.

Really enjoyable and highly addictive read!

Many thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mary Kubica for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Heart pounding and intense!

Meghan is a nurse at an ICU and a single mom of a 16-year-old Sienna. Meghan is taking care of a woman in coma who jumped off a bridge to kill herself. The family of the woman is constantly with her hoping she would get better. Meanwhile, her daughter is being a regular hormonal 16-year-old bringing a boy to her house, her ex is giving her hard time, and on top of that there's a rapist and a thief violating women in her vicinity, making her feel unsafe for herself and her kid.

At the same time Meghan goes to evening meetings for divorced people. She meets a long lost friend, Caitlin, from high school and gets reacquainted with her even though they were not very close back in the day. Caitlin seems to be in an abusive relationship and is trying to leave her husband. Meghan tries to help her out.

The first half of the book, the tying of the knot, was strong and I did enjoy it a lot!! I figured out who the rapist was very early on but didn't see the big twist coming. Once the big twist came, everything felt very rushed, and very spelled out for the reader. There was nothing to wonder about or to figure out. That being said, I really enjoyed the fast paced thriller. A lot of difficult themes were introduced - home violence, women not being safe in the open especially at night, doctors and nurses making grave mistakes due to exhaustion and being spread too thin.

Recommend reading this book for the fun thriller factor, which is what the author is known and sought after. It is not a literary masterpiece. Perfect for the winter months to read wrapped in a warm blanket with a hot drink. Enjoy!!
