The Soulmate is told from dual POV and alternating time periods. I really enjoyed this format. The before timeframe provided so much back story to get to the point of someone jumping off of the cliff.

Pipa and Gabe moved into a cliff house and since then Gabe has been saving people from jumping. When one of "jumpers" is someone from their past the story really begins. Does Pipa really know her husband? There is a decent amount of suspense and a couple "what" moments in this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and St Martins Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoy everything I've ever read by Sally Hepworth! This was no exception! I don't want to spoil anything, so please please please read this one to see for yourself!!

Sally Hepworth does a great job of weaving a story into an entangled web. Pippa and Gabe's relationship is complicated. Gabe's behavior is irratic and troubling at times, but Pippa stays devoted. The reader spends their time trying to unravel everything to find the truth. The plot was interesting and the ending really got me. I had so many feelings at the end, that I can't discuss without giving a spoiler. I'm still reeling a little because it wasn't what I expected. I give this book 4.25 stars.

A Soulmate, a partner, she can't imagine life without him. Life is perfect. Or so it seems at the start of the book. A house on the cliff. Sounds so wonderful. Except the cliff is known for suicides. Gabe has a way of talking people into giving life another chance, As the book progresses the details of Gabe and Pippa's life shows some cracks in the perfection. It really gives a look at marriage and relationships. How much do we overlook to keep the peace in a relationship? What a story! A good book.

Whoa, was I into this one. She just keeps getting better and better - this one sucked me right in and I wasnt' sure how it was all going to play out!

The Soulmate was a great book. It talks about family, trust, secrets and mental health.
I loved the fact that the chapters are short and kept me very into it.
It’s a really fast paced reading!

I really recommend this book.

Thank you so much for the advanced digital copy #NetGalley #St. Martin's Press

4.5 Stars!

Wow! I really enjoyed this one. Just when you thought you had something figured out, boom! Another twist in the story. Now if I could just get over that ending.

Thank you NetGalley for this e-book ARC. Hepworth is back!!! I was captivated and encompassed the entire 3/4 of the book! THEN, Hepworth took it a step further with a twist at the end of the story, I don’t think anyone will see it coming! I for sure didn’t. She was so slick at the end. I will continue to support her when I can. Mild sexual content. Mild swearing.

Pippa and her family have moved to a house on a cliff for a fresh start. Their house is next to an infamous drop where many people have come to end their lives over the years. Since living there, her husband, Gabe, has prevented multiple people from going over the edge. This all changes one day when a woman shows up on the cliff and then goes over the edge. At first, Pippa thinks it must just be a suicide, but she can't stop thinking about how her husbands' hands looked. And things get even more complicated when she learns the woman was the wife of Gabe's ex-boss.

I thought this was a decent thriller. I thought the bigger shocks for me were in the first ½, and then the second half was ok comparatively. It was easy to read though and a good family suspense/thriller book.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Good domestic suspense. There's nothing groundbreaking here but it's a reliable, compelling read. The short chapters made it easy to keep reading.

Loved it! Sally does it again.
The house on the cliff …
The relationship builds …
The lies and immense love for family that bind …
The soulmate and all it’s beautiful drama makes for an addictive page turner.

THE SOULMATE review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

content warning: suicide

🌊Can we take a moment for this cover. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I’m obsessed with it. The cover goes so well with the over all plot/storyline too. The queen of family dramas is back y’all. This is my fifth Hepworth book I’ve read and it’s tied for my second favorite of hers (tied w/ The Mother-in-Law, nothing will beat The Good Sister imo). I want to emphasize that this is a family drama, not a thriller. If you go in expecting thriller vibes you’ll be disappointed. But the secrets these family members keep, the twists and the turns the plot takes, this book was such a fun ride!

🌊Here’s a summary of the plot:👇
Pippa and Gabe live in a home right off the coast of Australia. In their backyard is “the drop” where people jump to their deaths. Gabe has talked many people down off a literal cliff. One day Pippa sees a woman on the cliff’s edge, Gabe tries to save her but he’s too late. When Pippa discovers Gabe knew the victim, she can’t help but wonder if Gabe had no intentions of saving her…

🌊The dual POVs in this story felt a tad confusing at first, but when they come together and you understand how the two storylines are connected you’ll be 🤯🤯. I loooooved the short 2-3 page chapters in this book. I truly wish more books were written this way!! This book really focuses on the theme of having a soulmate, and how far would you go to protect/lie for your soulmate?? The ending of this one was perfection imo. I’ve seen some mixed reviews for the ending but I truly wouldn’t have wanted it to end any other way! I have 3 more of Hepworth’s backlist that I haven’t read and I can’t wait to read them all in 2023!!

🌊This book publishes April 4, 2023! Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for my ARC!

Sally Hemsworth does it again. I thought this book was a different concept than her others. I loved the two points of view from Pippa and Amanda. The book was full of lies, betrayal and secrets. Some of them I could have guessed, well others I didn’t expect. I really loved the mental health angle and how that affected Gabe and Pippas relationship. I enjoyed Pippa but by the end of the book I wanted more from Amanda. I really enjoyed this book.

My first Sally Hepworth and it did not disappoint! It's been awhile since a thriller has captivated me and I couldn't help but read late into the night with this one. The tension build, the twists, the backstories. A must read for any fans of Gone Girl.

Applause, applause to Sally Hepworth! This book grabbed me from the first pages and I had a hard time putting it down. A story about two couples connected in surprising ways, with dark secrets lying underneath their glossy lives. I loved the dual timelines, particularly Amanda’s “after” chapters. The revelations are sprinkled throughout and there are quite a few moments where you have those “ohhhh” moments. Did anyone else see that ending coming? What the?!

I’ve read a few “just okay” thrillers lately so this one being so riveting was refreshing. I think this might be my favorite Hepworth title yet.

This book hits US shelves on April 4, but you might want to preorder now!

Thank you StMartinsPress and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The soulmate follows Pippa and Gabe as they relocate to a new house on the ocean for a fresh start. Their backyard is known as “the drop” where many people have leapt off the cliff to their deaths over the years.

Told in 4 perspectives. Pippa present day, pippa in the past, Amanda in the past and present. I didn’t care for the perspective of Amanda in the afterlife “ghost” perspective.

Overall a good story! Easy to get into and hard to put down.

Thank you to netgalley and st. Martins press!

I couldn’t put this one down, I love Sally Hepworth and this did not disappoint! I loved how the story unfolded revealing more and more truths (and lies). There are several twists throughout the book and the big one at the end took me completely by surprise. It’s told from the perspective of two different wives which was a great juxtaposition to the plot as a whole. I loved the character development and how the setting switches from past to present throughout the novel. You’ll fall in love with the characters and will be engulfed in wanting to know what happens.

Sally Hepworth has YET to let me down! she is absolutely incredible.. I cannot wait until i display this book front and center in my library!!

5/5

Who would move to a home near “The Drop”? How do you know you have met your soulmate? The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth was another absolute page turner! This book was full of twists and turns. I love when a book keeps me guessing up until the last page and this one did just that! The book alternates between Pippa and Amanda (past and present). Looks can be deceiving, especially when it comes to Gabe and Pippa’s perfect marriage. The truth becomes blurred when a woman jumps off a cliff next to their home.

This is my favorite Sally Hepworth book so far.
The Soulmate is a beautiful book about love and marriage, what it takes, and what it takes from you.
Told in two timelines from two pov's - one of whom is dead.
I didn't want to put this down.

Trigger warning for mental health struggles and suicide.
