Wow – Gripping

She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica is an absolutely gripping contemporary psychological thriller that had my pulse and heartrate pounding throughout. It was suspense out of the top drawer.

There is the question as to how well do we know anyone? There are secrets within that have been well hidden – unburdening oneself will have far reaching consequences.

We see the loneliness of single parenting. Everyone needs a friend with whom they can share experiences. It makes life less lonely.

There is a realistically portrayed mother-daughter bond. Life is not always rosy with a teen but love is strong.

The action is written in the first person enabling the reader to share the highs and lows of life with the lead character. We ‘experience’ what she experiences which gives us a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Mary Kubica is the master of the suspense novel. She pulls the reader into her world, manipulating our emotional responses to what we witness. As she guides us along the pathways of her novel, we are a passenger in her hands.

She’s Not Sorry is a terrific read. We start the novel at a point in the future, knowing that the action is going to lead up to this point. We are on edge as we read. Our heartrate ramps up as we know where we are going.

I could not get enough of She’s Not Sorry. It was such an exciting, suspenseful read. I always love Mary Kubica’s novels and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
