She’s Not Sorry, by Mary Kubica, is a quick and satisfying read with nonstop twists and turns. Meghan, a divorced ICU nurse with a sixteen year old daughter, allows herself to become over involved with a comatose patient with a traumatic brain injury. Despite an initial finding of suicide, the police now believe someone pushed Caitlin over the side of the bridge onto the railroad. Strange things start to happen to Megan, including being locked in her apartment building’s basement. Meghan has a complex relationship with her ex-husband and is always concerned about her daughter. Everyone has secrets, and you won’t know who to trust. Aspects of the plot are over the top, yet the story is well worth the ride! You may want to pre-order this book. With thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC. My opinions are my own.

Meghan is a nurse in a Chicago hospital ICU. She is a divorced single parent to Sienna. A patient in the ICU Caitlin attempted to jump from a bridge to commit suicide. Meghan runs into an old friend Nat who is also divorced and a victim of domestic violence. As Meghan tries to help her old friend, deals her the Caitlin daily at work, and an ex husband her life gets complicated. Things start to happen that freak her out and scare her and it doesn’t help that there is a rapist on the loose. I really loved how this book came together. I tried to guess what was happening along the way and there were some tricky plot developments that made me think it was person and then it totally wasn’t. Also being from Chicago I knew exactly where it all happened which endeared me to this book even more.

Meghan Michael’s is a recently divorced ICU nurse with a teenage daughter, Sienna. A new patient has come into the ICU, Caitlin who attempted suicide by jumping off a railroad trestle in their hometown of Chicago. Caitlin is lucky to have survived and Meghan finds herself a bit obsessed with Caitlin and her story as it mirrors a tale from her past. What caused Caitlin to do what she did?

Lots of twists and turns here with one very satisfying mystery and one the reader will likely figure out early on. A good, enjoyable mystery thriller. Recommended.

Mary Kubica is an author whose work I automatically add to my list. Her latest book didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure. She’s Not Sorry is an entertaining, slow burn, twisty book that I read in just a few days. The plot was interesting and the ending was definitely unexpected! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this title.

A single phone call will draw a traditionally detached nurse into a miasma of truths, lies, and secrets. As the twists and turns unfold, we learn much more about Meghan's life and everyone surrounding the incident where Caitlin, her current patient, landed on train tracks after a long trip off the bridge. The questions come rapidly; did she fall? Was she pushed? Did she jump? Who was the culprit? A trip down memory lane erodes into a darkened alley of untold secrets.

The overall story is a good read; the plots are predictable and the characters are reminiscent of other Mary Kubica titles. 3 Stars

I really like Mary Kubica books, but this one didn’t really work for me. I thought it was an interesting storyline, but I felt confused throughout most of it. I don’t want to say too much without giving away spoilers, but the format left me a little unsatisfied.


I received an advanced copy through Netgalley, but all opinions are my own.

If you are looking for a fast-paced psychological thriller this is not your book. This latest book by Mary Kubica is a nod to the noir thrillers of old. The story introduces readers to Meghan Michaels, a recently divorced, ICU nurse. Using the Chicago landscape to build the suspenseful background, readers learn that Meghan has a new patient in her care that tried to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge. Through many twists and turns Meghan's patient may be a victim of a serial killer and Meghan herself could be the next victim. If you are looking for a slow burn thriller this should be your next read.

This was okay. My main issue was that the beginning was a little slow and some of the plot twists were a little predictable. However, once it got going it became much more fast paced and it was still a fun read. It won’t blow your mind but if you like thrillers I recommend.

This one is a slow burn, but once it picks up speed, the twists grab you and don’t let go. I think this is the best ever from Mary Kubica. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review. This one is a must read!

There’s not much I love more than a thriller in a medical setting. I loved this book although some of the details seemed far-fetched at best. Without giving away any specifics, there were aspects that weren’t entirely believable in real life, but I was willing to overlook that because it was such a fun ride. So many twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. I will be reading more from Mary Kubica!

She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica Couldn't relate with Meghan. There were so many twists and turns and most of the details seemed inconceivable. Many of Ms Kubica's fan are sure to enjoy the story however, I am sorry but this not a favorite of mine by Ms Kubica.
Thank you to the author, publish and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Mary Kubica slays again with the perfect slow burn before knocking readers with multiple twists and turns. The perfect psychological thriller for a book club with lots of moving parts to discuss along with an ending that will leave you questing and wanting more. "She's Not Sorry" is a must for any TBR.

Mary Kubica has done it again.

I met her in a book store signing last year. During that signing she mentioned she was working on this book and I have been wanting to read it since. I was thrilled that Harrlequin Publishing let me read this ARC of the book . Thank you so much!

The book is basically about a nurse who is caring for a patient who jumped off a bridge. Then as time goes on it starts to come out more and more about the patient... did she jump or was she pushed.

I did not predict the TWISTS in this book and my mind was completely blown.

I love that she grew up in Illinois suburbs of chicago and throws those details in as I live in that area.

Will recommend this book to everyone.

Stayed up to finish and wasn't disappointed. I wasn't surprised by the first twist, although I didn't figure it out. Couldn't put this one down, I needed to know the outcome. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book
