She’s not sorry by Mary kubica. But I am sorry this book was not good. Such a disappointment. I have always loved Mary kubica. But this book was not a good read

A dark, domestic thriller starring Meghan Michaels, an ICU nurse and single mom of Sienna, a 16 year old girl. Meghan reconnects with an old friend, Natalie Cohen, who’s stuck in an abusive relationship. At work Meghan is caring for Caitlin, a 32 year old woman who jumped from a bridge…. Or did she?

I am a huge fan of Mary Kubica. This was a little different than her other books, but still kept me on the edge of my seat, reading the book in nearly 24 hours (like with her others). I liked how the story was broken up into two parts and I was blown away once I figured out what was actually happening-that was truly wild. However, there were some plot holes. I don’t think certain events would have played out the way they did. Realistically I don’t think certain characters would have gotten away with certain things. I was also able to predict some of the twists early on. I did like the ICU setting though. Kubica clearly did her research because it felt exactly like the ICU’s I’ve worked in.

Overall this was such a twisty, fun, bingeable thriller. Thank you to NetGalley for this arc!

WOW. Blown away!! This book was an all consuming thrill to read! It was well written with fleshed out characters that I could picture. And the story!! It gave me whiplash! Theres a reveal around midpoint & I found myself diving backwards in the book, reading parts again. This is one of my absolute favorite reads of ‘23 & may be my favorite Kubica book EVER. That says a lot b/c Mary Kubica is one of my favorite authors. If you’re a Kubica fan, if you enjoy psychological suspense, don’t even bother reading the description, just GET IT. You’ll be thrilled you did!!!

This book was fantastic! Another great read by Mary Kubica. This is full of twists and turns. It definitely keeps you guessing. There are so many different suspenseful stories within the one, if that makes sense. This book will not disappoint!

A slow-burn, twisted story that crawls up your spine, slithers to your ear and quietly whispers, "Trust no one." It's no wonder Mary Kubica is one of my favourite authors. Another knock-out book that's sure to be another hit!

Giving this one a 4.5 stars :) Close to 5! I absolutely loved this book though. I have always loved Mary's books and I knew this one wasn't going to disappoint me! This book had me hooked from the start and all the way through. I was shocked too by the twist in this one and did not see it coming! The whole story with Meghan and her career (nurse), the mystery behind the girl who was in the hospital that she had to take care of and even her family. The killer on the loose that was out after women and Meghan being paranoid that they were out to get her and her daughter as well. It was all a huge mystery and the book was just so suspenseful. I loved it!!! I cant wait to have an actual copy of this for my shelf once it is released in April!
Thank you net galley for providing me a early copy!

✨ARC Review✨
Title:She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica
Publication Date: April 2, 2024
Genre:Mystery/Thriller

Meghan Michaels is trying to juggle being a single mom to a teenage daughter and her full time job as an ICU nurse. Her life is thrown into further chaos when a patient, Caitlin, arrives in a coma suffering from a traumatic brain injury, after jumping off a bridge. Meghan usually does a great job of staying out of her patient's lives and the more she learns the more she wishes she didn't know.

This was a fun and twisty read, much like Local Woman Missing. A thriller set in a medical setting plus some creepy scenes late at night in the back alleys of Chicago made the suspense ramp up. I think a lot of this book was far fetched and would NEVER play out this way in real life so be prepared to accept it for what it is. The ending wraps up too nicely and I wish it had gone a different way. With all that said I would recommend it for thriller lovers and if you liked her other books. You'll fly through it and be surprised by some of the reveals!

“She’s Not Sorry” by Mary Kubica is an intriguing thriller about a single mom who is an ICU nurse. We participate in three different story lines that create an intense and scary premise that has you wondering if all the characters involved will collide in the end. There are many unexpected twists that will have you holding your breath along with a few gasps along the way. This is a quick fun read!

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and the author, for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC of this book. This was my first book by Mary Kubica and I really enjoyed it.

We read along as Meghan goes about her life as a recently divorced single mom of a teenage daughter. Meghan is a nurse in the ICU and starts to get a bit familiar with one of her patients family. As the story unfolds there are so many possibilities on how this could go but not so many that it’s confusing. Just enough to keep you turning the pages to find out how they all got there.
This was a wild ride until the end. It all came together nicely, did not feel rushed at all the way some thrillers do. I enjoyed the authors writing style and how she described the atmosphere. I will definitely read more by this author.

Wow, Mary Kubica wrote some amazing thrillers before, but this one tops everything! The story of an ICU nurse getting embroiled in a potential attempt at murder is beyond suspenseful! Highly recommended!

I flew through this book! Very twisty and kept me guessing the whole time. I was a little confused on the timeline in this book, but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

Mary Kubica ... brilliant book. This is the book to read this year. You will find yourself not wanting to put it down. So many fantastic twists in this book..wow just wow..!!!
5 stars all the way from me. So greatly appreciated that I got approved for an early review of this book.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

This was a fast paced thriller and kept me hooked. I enjoy when medical meets thriller in a storyline. The ending fell a little flat for me, but overall I would definitely recommend!

i was so excited to receive an advance copy of a mary kubica book (!) and talk about a book to get you out of a reading slump! this one had me hooked and i devoured it. the twists just kept coming and i couldn't stop reading. i would have liked some more wrap-ups with some of the side characters, like the restaurant owner and the brother, but would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast-paced thriller that hooks you from the start! i finished it in 24 hours. i couldn’t decide if i was more worried about caitlin’s story or the man killing women and the way it all tied up in the end was A+!

When I started this book, I thought okay this is a kidnapping story like all the others. I do think some of the book was predictable for me, but I'm very good at figuring things out! I enjoyed the authors writing and style, I continued to turn the pages engaged in the story.

My only downfall was the ending, I feel like it was just open ended mediocre with unanswered questions.

Overall I enjoyed this read. Thank you

Thank you so much NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! This book had all of the makings to be a five star thriller! I loved how it kept me guessing the entire time. I never would have guessed who actually pushed Caitlin off the bridge! The part that didn’t align well for me was the ending. I suspected Luke was the one from the start, but it never really tied in for me. Did the husband know she killed Caitlin? Why did Luke kidnap Sienna really? Him kidnapping her didn’t make sense to me. There were just too many loose ends. Overall it was still a great thriller!

Thank you to @netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Park Row for an arc of She’s Not Sorry in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed this book! The pacing was perfect and I was hooked instantly. I finished this book in two sittings and didn’t realize I was almost done until I looked, very bingeable! I will say part of the plot was a bit far fetched but still did not take away from this book! There were a ton of twists, I did not see them coming! Definitely get your hands on this book!

Release date: April 2, 2024

She's Not Sorry follows our main character, Meghan, who is an ICU nurse and single mother. She's taking care of a young woman who barely survived jumping off a bridge, becoming more and more involved in trying to figure out her family dynamics and life story. It comes out that this woman, Caitlin, may not have jumped off the bridge after all...she was likely pushed. In other news, a man is attacking women around the city and has yet to be caught. While this book had a major plot twist that did catch me off guard, I thought the reveal of this plot twist was cheapened due to the reader being completely unaware of an alternate timeline taking place. The nursing aspect of the story was well done and accurate, and make the main character relatable. While both the main storyline and the secondary storyline of the attacks were both interesting to read about, it didn't seem like they really connected or needed to be in the same book. I would've enjoyed reading about them as separate novels instead, as they both carried so much weight that it made it hard to be entirely invested in either one. The conclusion of the story was left a little bit open-ended, which added some thrilling uneasiness to the story as a whole.

I love Mary Kubica!! Her writing is addictive and never fails to leave me with my jaw dropped open.

She does a fantastic job of instilling doubt into each character you’re introduced to, so you truly never know who to trust or who is at fault. I LOVED the twist - maybe someone who has read more mystery than me would have guessed it was coming, but it was a complete shock to me. After I was about 60% into the book, I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting. Kubica has her audience in a vice grip with She’s Not Sorry, as all the characters are compelling and you’re not sure what’s next. All the relationships (romantic and platonic) were well established so we felt like all the character choices had intention behind them, making this story all the more confusing and intriguing.

I do think that Meghan came off as gullible near the end of the story. After everything she’s been through and what happened, how is she so easily mentioning key information to people?? C’mon girl. LOL but besides that, this truly was a page turner that I enjoyed. I also loved where we were left off at the ending - her writing just keeps giving and giving!

I agree with many other fellow reviewers - Mary Kubica did not disappoint. This psychological thriller kept me guessing til the end. There are many unexpected twists that I will not reveal. All I can say is get a copy, set aside a few hours and you will be totally immersed in this book.

Thank you Net galley for this ARC.
