  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Mary Kubica has been a hit or miss author for me- having loved The Other Mrs, but not enjoying Local Woman Missing (unpopular opinion, I know). I had heard great things about She's Not Sorry, but was skeptical, as others loved Local Woman Missing, when I didn't. 

I started reading She's Not Sorry and finished it in less than 24 hours. It wasn't a book that I had to get into, I was hooked from the beginning. I figured out one twist very early on, but there was more that I never would have expected. At one point, my jaw quite literally dropped, and I had to reread what I had just read to make sure I wasn't mistaken! I think if I hadn't figured out the one twist, this would have absolutely been a five star read for me. 

This movie should 100% be turned into a TV series or movie, as I envisioned it as one in my head the entire time.
