This was definitely not my favorite of Hepworth's books. Pippa drove me crazy with the blinders she had for everything Gabe did. The reveal and see ending just left me feeling meh about the whole thing.

Appreciate Sally Hepworth as my modern go-to author for plot-driven novels. Her characters are always compelling and stories interesting. No book by Hepworth will disappoint.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book being the Gerard’s house on the cliff known for suicide. The overall speed of the book was a bit of a slow burn for me but it was worth it in the end to get to the twists. The twists in the book were really good and surprising!

I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. Sally Hepworth did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I love all the books Hepworth writes, and will continue to read anything she publishes! I would highly recommend it!

When you get your hands on a copy of Sally Hepworths upcoming release which also happens to be one of the anticipated reads of 2023 ... its a great day!
Sally, is amazing as always. Amazing plot twists!
I am a HUGE fan of alternating chapters between characters and the way this was done was EXCELLENT! I was completely engaged in this story and did not see that ending coming.

I really struggled with this book. It seemed to move incredibly slow for me. I absolutely loved the book The Good Sister and could not put it down but this one was not a hit for me. The book left me frustrated and took me longer than normal to read because it didn't keep my attention.

4/5 stars. Super fast paced domestic thriller that surprised me in the end. This was only my second Sally Hepworth book but I will definitely read more of her work and I enjoyed both.

A wonderfully written thriller story with a mystery, Gabe and Pippa move into their dream home. What they discover about the area’s past makes them feel uneasy. The area they move to has an eerie past. Someone in Gabe’s life falls victim to the cliffs. Gabe and Pippa are well written characters. The plot and the twists are exciting. An edge of your seat thriller.

Messy. Messy. Messy. This book was messy and in the best way possible. I spent the entire book asking myself "Did he do it?" then answering myself "Yes! Of course he pushed her off the cliff!" then changing it "No way he did it. She was distraught!" In the end I felt like we got good answers with the twists and turns of this book. I was genuinely surprised by the ending, like I thought I had it figured out and then BAM!!!! I was wrong. So well written, the plot perfection but not in a super creepy I'm not going to sleep tonight kinda way. Loved it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A slow burn mystery told from multiple points of view!
This was like reading a jigsaw puzzle, but instead of receiving all the pieces at once you are slowly given one at a time, only to have the full picture revealed to you at the end.
A fun read that kept you guessing until the very end!

The Soulmate was an interesting book, with a lot of twist and turn. I was definitely guessing right until the end what was going to happen next. A fun quick read, perfect for the beach!!

This was my first Sally Hepworth book and I am happy to say that this book was a page turner for me with quite a twist at the end. The characters in this book were so well developed that you were able to feel in character.

A young couple with two young girls move into a cliffside home to start a new chapter in their lives. Their cliff side home is known to have "jumpers" who are looking to end their lives. Gabe has a track record of being able to intervene and save lives until one woman comes through and suddenly jumps from the cliff and Gabe is caught with his arms pushed out. Did Gabe push the woman or did she suddenly fall?

What then unravels is a twisty story of family drama and I was there for every page!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

“The Soulmate” is a suspense novel told from the perspective of two women. Pippa lives with her husband Gabe and their two young daughters at a beautiful home on the edge of a cliff, a spot where people often come to end their lives.

In the year since they moved in, Pippa has seen Gabe talk a number of people off the edge, but one day, someone jumps. Or did they?

There are a lot of twists and turns as the plot progresses, and most of them, especially the ending, I never saw coming.

This domestic mystery/thriller is perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell and anyone else who likes their reading to be surprising but not too scary.

Gabe and Pippa Gerard buy a house on the edge of an oceanside cliff in Melbourne. It becomes concerning when mentally unstable appear wanting to jump off the cliff. Gabe has taken it upon himself to act as savior to those he manages to "talk off the ledge". It continues until one day a woman walks up to the cliff and Gabe isn't able to help the woman before she is seen jumping off the cliff. As more information about the woman is revealed, the question arises of whether she jumped or if she was pushed. Gabe begins to take her death hard but suspicions rise when it is revealed that he knew the woman. There are fears about unfaithfulness and secrets being exposed. How does Gabe know this woman and why would she want to jump? Furthermore, why would Gabe want to push her?

Such a bingeable domestic thriller that I could not put down. I finished it in one day. That seems to be the case for all the books I’ve read by Sally Hepworth thus far. She does not disappoint.

Thank you st Martin’s press and netgalley for an arc.

I really enjoyed this thriller. I'm not quite sure how I felt about the victim's POV being included, but I understand why it was necessary for the narrative. The ending was both devastating and heartwarming at the same time, and was definitely very satisfying in many aspects. Would recommend.
