This is a suspenseful, high intensity read that isn't for the faint of heart!
Suicide is the prominent subject of the book and occurs on the page, so be aware of that going in. The main characters live in a house that's near a spot that's infamous for jumping and the husband has actually saved a few people from taking their lives.
This is a story about secrets and how they show up in and affect marriages. It's also about how far one is willing to go to protect their loved ones. The themes of family and loyalty are strong throughout. It also addresses mental illness, and that's the part that I found problematic. The character got away with atrocious behavior and never faced serious consequences.
Overall, this was a fast read that kept me fully engaged. I recommend it for fans of Sally Hepworth.

Quick read. Didn't foresee the twist at the end. Enjoyable and not too drawn out. Perfect development of characters. Special thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I really enjoyed this one! Another domestic thriller/drama from Sally Hepworth. And it starts right off with a bang with Gabe, going to help a women who is at the cliff In front of his house. Talk her down, which is something he has done many times always the hero. But this time he fails and thats when their world comes crashing down. This is told in the POV of Gabes wife pippa and the POV of the women who fell Amanda. We learn that Gabe and pippa have had a rocky life together, even tho things are okay right now they have a lovely little house two beautiful daughters and Gabe is the perfect stay at home dad and her family is always Around but as we Learn about the connection between Amanda’s life and Gabe we learn about the rocky years that they had before and I don’t want to say to much about it but there was so many wow moments and I couldn’t put it down till I figured out what was going on! This is out in April!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book. This was a solid thriller but a little slow at points. I liked that the author provided a neat & tidy epilogue to tie up the threads of the story.

Wow! I couldn't put this one down! I have read other Sally Hepworth books and I think they are some of my favorite thrillers, because they move quickly while also leaving you wanting more at the end of each chapter! I love that they aren't predictable but also are not overly graphic or intense, so I can easily read before bed or on a vacation!
However, you might want to check content/trigger warnings before reading if you are sensitive to certain topics!
Thank you to NetGalley & St. Martin's Press for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review!

Another fantastic book by Sally Hepworth! As with many other books written by her I thought I knew what was going on in this story, but I was so wrong. So twisty and I didn’t see most of them coming. The last couple took my breath away. I could not put this book down and read it in a 24 hour period.
A resounding 5/5 stars.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the eARC of this book.

I enjoyed reading this book! It kept me guessing and very intrigued. I really liked the writing style. This story was so interesting, with so many twists and turns, when I thought I had it figured out… something came in and completely changed it! Very good, would recommend!

Popcorn 🍿 anyone?! I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book! An easy read, thriller with a smidge of romance. With great focus on mental health.

Just finished this book, and I immediately had to come on here and rave about it. I highly recommend adding this book to your “Want To Read” list and reading it as soon as it comes out! I had high hopes considering how much I love other Sally Hepworth books, but this exceeded all of my expectations. Most psychological thrillers have a big suspense leading up to one major jaw dropping twist, but this one had so many throughout the entire book. I couldn’t put it down! 10/10 - Highly recommend.

The alternating narrators who tell their story from both the "then" and "now" perspectives really aided the propulsive feel of this one. The setting also acts as a character which pulls you in and provides the perfect amount of tension. Props to Hepworth for the masterfully timed surprise! This is a great escapist read and would be perfect beach reading.

This was a good read full of mystery and small twists keeping you turning the pages at a consistent rate. The author did a really good job bringing the story together at the end.

Another good thriller by Sally Hepworth. The soulmate keeps you wanting to know what happens. The back and forth between then and now with multiple narrators can get confusing at times. Enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

Gripping psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator. Dual POV in both past and present. So many twists and turns and a lot of unpredictability. I never knew where this one was headed. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

This was a great read. I was actively going through a reading slump at the time of reading this book so it took me quite a while but once I got 40% through I was hooked and finished it in a weekend. The twists kept coming and every time I thought I figured it out, there was something else through the entire book. I also loved the ending which I don’t usually , but I felt like everything was answered and ended the way you’d want it to. I’d recommend this book and I will be purchasing it for my own library when it releases. Thanks to NetGalley for the read .

I FLEW through this one!! A super fast-paced and twisty thriller in a unique setting off the coast of Australia. You’re immediately thrown into the mix of things and the book takes off running with a somewhat questionable suicide taking place at the cliffs by our MCs home. From there, I COULD NOT stop reading. I finished this book in two sittings and I’m convinced that if I had picked it up on a Saturday I wouldn’t have put it down at all. Twists around every corner and I saw none of them coming. I absolutely recommend to fans of thrillers or domestic dramas. One of the most gripping thrillers I’ve read in months!

This one is so hard for me to rate. I have loved her books I’ve read so far. I struggled a bit with this one. I for some reason struggled to connect really to the characters. And i felt it was a tad over detailed. And it seemed obvious that it was bipolar rather than ADHD affecting Gabe. But i did enjoy the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter that propelled me to the next and the chapters being short made it read very quickly. There was some twists i didn’t see coming in this story. I think this book is the most thriller ish of her books that I’ve read thus far. I feel like she does well with in-capturing mental illness and i always appreciate how well she discusses them and portrays them.

Thinking 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
I am a huge Sally Hepworth fan; I love her writing! My fave of hers is The Mother’s Promise, which is drastically different than her most popular books, which are thrillers. This thriller in particular started out so strong and contained some of my favorite thriller elements (will talk more on these in my full IG review @chandlersbooknook), but the twist missed the mark for me, sadly. I was expecting something huuuuge/shocking to be revealed, but the twist wasn’t super satisfying IMO :( I also have a huge burning question after finishing that didn’t get answered, that I feel like I’ll always wonder about/be frustrated to not know?!
I did find that I flew through the chapters though; I read it in just 2 days amidst wedding planning and work busyness. If you like more “mystery” plots (def more of that feel than thriller feel) and need something quick, I may recommend trying this one.

This book was a good thriller. I like Sally Hepworth's books. It made you wonder what exactly happened when Amanda went over the cliff. I felt bad for Gabe's wife, and what she was going through. Overall, a good thriller with a surprise I didn't see coming.

I love Sally Hepworth, and The Soulmate did not disappoint. Check it out because it publishes soon.
A medium pace read, it hooked me from the start. Even though there were a few spots that slowed for me (that could have also been a result of multiple distractions while reading this one), I never once lost interest. The multiple POVs were easy to follow as well as the multiple timeline (Past/Present). It was just twisty enough to keep you wo dering if you really have it figured out or not, and the twist in the end was a good one.
Trigger warnings: suicide and mental illness
Thank you, NetGalley, and St. Martin's Press for the ARC and opportunity to provide an honest review.

They bought a house with a suicide cliff, but have managed to talk everyone off it so far until they don't. When the first person jumps, it's not a coincidence. The story that unfolds has us guessing which betrayal lead to which consequence and when the police will finally put it together. Deep and dark but in a twisted way where everyone gets their happy ending.
