I loved this book! It was interesting and kept my attention from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat. I had been in a reading slump and this book helped me get out of it. Great read as always!

4.25. This was my first book by Sally Hepworth and now I’m very excited for more! This book sucked me in right away. I love books that don’t need much build up to hook you and this one grabbed me in the first chapter. This book was fast paced and twisty. Every time I put it down I immediately wanted to dive back in. The problem for me was the ending. It just wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t feel like it quite matched the rest of the book, it was too clean and light.

Sally Hepworth's books keep getting better and better. This time her story is based on a couple who is living on a majestic ocean cliff which is also unfortunately famous for suicide attempts. While the ocean view is fabulous the suicide hotspot is causing them lots of problems. This couple with the picture perfect husband and the enviable lifestyle start to reveal their secrets and issues. I found this tale to be very engrossing and hard to put down. Sally Hepworth always throws in a twist or two, and yet again this book had one I never expected. If you are a fan of "Big Little Lies" this book is definitely in that vein. A great read for 2023. Thank you #Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Soulmate is the story of a married couple who moves to a cottage on a cliff. The cliff is known in the town as a place where people come to commit suicide. Gabe has taken upon himself to save these people and has been successful until one night he is unable to save someone. Pippa (his wife) realizes that Gabe knew this person and their story begins to unravel.
Sally Hepworth has written another compelling book where you don't want to stop reading. Throughout the entire book I was guessing what happened and who was at fault. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good thriller.

Wow what a ride! Thank you for the opportunity to read this one, I really enjoyed it! Initially I didn’t like Pippa but I came around to her by the end. I loved the multiple storylines- it kept me so interested the whole time. It was a really twisty thriller so if that’s your thing I recommend this one!

Sally Hepworth does not miss! I cancelled my plans to finish this one. The plot twists!!! There’s so many and they’re SO good. So entertaining and well written.

This was SO good. I’m going to need to go through the author’s backlog now because I really loved how twisty this was. A hit for sure!

How well do you really know your significant other? Pippa and Gabe felt they had found their soul mates in each other. Having moved to a gorgeous home on the cliff to only discover the cliff is a popular place to end one's life. When a woman goes over the cliff and Pippa finds out Gabe knew the victim, she goes on an intense search to find out how he knew her and did he push her over the cliff? Pippa's world begins to crumble and everything she thought she had is gone. This is a great edge of your seat book that keeps you turning the pages.

I enjoy Sally Hepworth’s books and this was also an enjoyable read. It was fast paced and the story moved along. It did have a bit of the element that I despise in books … making female characters “stupid”. The main character here was honestly a bit stupid, but it was more forgivable. I didn’t enjoy the ending as much … it felt a bit unfinished, but still a very good read.
This review was also published on Goodreads.

A cliffhanger read, involving an infamous suicide cliff and a man who has been known to talk folks down from the edge. This story weaves in family secrets and threads of mental illness found in families.

This was such a fun, twisty book that I absolutely flew through. It had the tension and pace of a thriller, and the mystery definitely kept me engaged, but what I really loved was the story of each of the two women’s lives and their marriages. I loved the way the book explored love and marriage and how it affected each of the main characters.
This was my first book read in 2023 and it was such a fun way to start the year. Will it be a favorite? Probably not, but it was entertaining, fun and I really loved it.

Read this book in one day. It was so good I couldn’t put it down. First book I read by her and now I want to read all her books! Definitely a five star read for me

Released in Australia last fall, Sally Hepworth's new book does not release in North America until April 4, 2023. This book starts with a bang when a woman is pushed/fell/juumped off a cliff behind the home of Pippa and Gabe. As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, and it becomes clear that there is more than meets the eye.
I went into this book blind, which always makes for a more intriguing read. I was not disappointed with this domestic suspense mystery as it deals with many complex subjects that I will not reveal here (spoiler.)
Told from two different points of view. One is current day Pippa as she recalls her life with Gabe, her soulmate, how they met, and the story of their relationship is revealed. The other is from the woman who met her demise on that cliff, which was a unique viewpoint that gave a wider view as to what was going on.
The Soulmate is a story of family, past hurts, and secrets. It was intricately woven with some surprises along the way. It also had an unexpected ending that kept me on my toes. Hats off to Sally Hepworth for crafting such an engaging and captivating read.
My thanks to St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I live Sally Hepworth’s books—they are always full of domestic intrigue, exploring different (dysfunctional) relationships: sisters, in-laws, parents—and this one between husband and wife. What does it mean to be loyal above all else? What happens when a wife sees her husband do something but isn’t sure what it means? With lots of twists & different POVs, this story is a take on marriage and what it means to be someone’s soulmate.

Gabe and Pippa have purchased their dream home by the sea. Unfortunately, their backyard has been labeled "The Drop" because of the many suicide attempts. Gabe has been able to talk down all of them except one.
Did he know the person? He told the police he didn't. Did he push them. Again - said he did not.
What is the relationship with Gabe and Pippa to Amanda and Max, his former boss.
A story with lots of twists and turns that had me finishing this book in one day. I love all of Sally Hepworth's books, and this may be one of my favorites - I highly recommend it!

You can trust Sally Hepworth to write a good novel. This one was good with more twists and turns in the plot than I expected. It’s a bit of a mind-bending read. Don’t get lost. Just go along for a mysterious ride.

What a brilliant book. Throughout the entire thing, I was left wanting more to the point I couldn’t put it down. And then at the end! I was, to simply put it, wowed. I will definitely be looking for my by this author. She had a way with words like no one else I have read before!

First off please add this thriller to your future TBR list you will not be disappointed. I find a lot of times it takes me a few chapters to get hooked to a book but not this one. I loved the short chapters and switch between characters. This book kept me guessing til the very end! Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC! Pub Date: April 4th 2023

✨Book Review✨
The Soulmate 📚 by @sallyhepworth
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
This book was so good! Gabe & Pippa buy a house with a gorgeous view on a cliff. Little do they know it is a popular spot where people commit suicide. Gabe having struggled with his own mental health issues finds purpose in helping the people who come to the cliff and is recognized as a small town hero. Until one day, a woman jumps and he couldn't help save her. Gabe proves to not be a reliable character with a dark past, so the reader is left guessing did the girl jump or did Gabe push her? The story unfolds with twists you don't see coming. A must read! Sally Hepworth's best book yet!

Suspenseful thriller that keeps you guessing. Told from 4 different POV's (2 different couples), The pacing of this book was well done, tidbits are parceled out in due time, and we learn that love can't save everyone, or fix their demons.
