Mary Kubica's upcoming novel, She's Not Sorry, is a thrilling and suspenseful read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. While the prologue starts with a bang, the subsequent chapters may initially feel slow-paced and take some time to fully engage the reader. However, perseverance pays off as the story gradually unfolds, revealing an unexpected plot twist and a complex web of interconnected storylines.

The book did take me a little while to read - those slow moving chapters - while I didn't dislike them -they just really serve the purpose of getting to know the characters. I just read them a little bit at a time - I was really afraid I wasn't going to like this book and Kubica is one of my favorite authors and I really wanted to love it. It's just a really slow burn for quite a bit there.

Around the 60% mark, She's Not Sorry takes an exhilarating turn with a plot twist that caught me completely off guard. This unexpected twist left me questioning my assumptions and wondering if I missed some hidden clues within the timelines. Kubica's ability to surprise and challenge the reader's expectations is commendable, adding an extra layer of excitement to the narrative. The book was difficult to put down from that point on.

While the slow start and initial abundance of plotlines may deter some readers, those who persevere will be rewarded with a gripping story. I did guess one of the plot twists but I think it is because I read so many books like this. It was still a surprise how this twist unfolded. Kubica's writing style is engaging, and her ability to create suspense is evident throughout the novel. The characters are well-developed, and their motivations and actions are intricately connected, adding depth to the overall plot.

Thank you for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This one is definitely a winner.
