Pippa and Gabe live with their 2 young daughters in their dream home, a cottage on a cliff in a quiet coastal town. But their perfect house hides something dark, the cliffs are a popular place for people to end their lives. Gabe saves life after life until one night he doesn’t. And when Pippa finds out that Gabe knew the victim questions arise. Did they jump? Were they pushed? Is Gabe lying? As dark secrets come to light, can their marriage survive?

Well, I couldn’t put this one down! Excellent psychological thriller with multiple surprising twists. Sally Hepworth really nailed toxic/dysfunctional relationships and how you can lose sight of this when you’re madly in love. She also handles the subject of mental health beautifully as it’s a key factor in the story line. I was shocked several times and legit gasped at the ending. Definitely add this to your TBR list, you won’t be disappointed!

I sure love me a Sally Hepworth book and this one did not disappoint! Lots of twists and surprises in this one. I really enjoyed this storyline and the characters and setting were very interesting to me. Can’t wait for the next book!

I've read all of Sally Hepworth's books and this is my new favourite book by her. I read this novel in a day and couldn't put it down because I was so engrossed.

This is told in from two different perspectives and I personally love when books are told from different character's points of view. In The Soulmate we meet Pippa in the opening chapters. Pippa is a lawyer who has two children with her loving husband, Gabe. They recently moved to the Australian coast as they wanted to get away from city life. What they didn't know when they bought their new home is that it's across from a popular cliffside spot for people to commit suicide. Gabe has talked seven people down and saved their lives. When another person comes to the cliff Gabe goes out to speak with her but she ultimately jumps. Pippa is unsure of what she saw out the window but Gabe tells the police it was all an unfortunate suicide. The following chapter is from the perspective of Amanda, who is the woman who jumped. The rest of the book is told in chapters that alternate between Pippa and Amanda.

This was a fantastic thriller and I enjoyed it so much that I just had to read it all in a day. I loved how all the secrets were slowly revealed and the book became darker as I kept reading. There was a lot of backstory that was told over the course of the book that impacted how the present events were interpreted as I read. This was written so well and I felt like I was right there in the book with the characters as I was reading. I didn't see some of the twists coming but once they were explained they made perfect sense. There were a few secrets that shocked me and I had to keep reading to see what would happen next. I think Hepworth did an excellent job joining all the different storylines together to make a cohesive plot and this is probably one of the best thrillers I've ever read. The Soulmate is definitely a 5 star book for me. I hope she continues with these gripping stories and I'd recommend this to everyone.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Totally judged this book by the cover (I love it!) and I wasn't wrong. Pippa and Gabe are happily married, parenting two adorable little girls, and living in their dream home overlooking the ocean. The only (?) downside is that they live right next to the Drop, a place where people come to commit suicide by throwing themselves over the cliff. When a woman does exactly that, it sparks a chain reaction of events that unearths secret and lies--and ensures their lives will never be the same. A fun, fast read full of heart.

Thrilling and addictive indeed! I'll read anything by Sally Hepworth, she is so fun! Full of secrets, lies and betrayal, The Soulmate is an addictive thrill ride! Kept me glued to the very end. Characters were unlike-ably fun (exactly how I like them!) Terrific ending!

Sally Hepworth is always, always one of my TBR authors! Even though I didn't feel this was one of her best, her writing always sucks me in. It didn't quite 'thrill' me like a thriller should but there were some twists that kept me engaged.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel. I encourage you to check this one out! Great twisted story.

This is the second book in a row with throughly Unlikable characters. When I don’t really have anyone to care about or root for, i lose interest. That happened here for me. Did not finish this one.

Pippa and Gabe, a couple living in their dream house with two daughters seem to have it all.
The house is located near a spot that attracts jumpers who want to end their lives. Gabe has been successful in talking the jumpers away from the cliff's edge until the one time he fails. As the police investigate the jumper's background, a connection to Gabe is discovered. As more of Pippa and Gabe's background is revealed, all is not as it seems.
The jumper turns out to be the wife of a former employer of Gabe's - why didn't he tell the police he knew her? Is he telling the truth about what happened that night?
Alternating points of view - the more that is revealed, the more questions arise.
Twists and turns - an engrossing read.

Sally Hepworth has quickly become a must- read author for me! Her ability to create nuanced characters in an intricate plot with twists up until the last page is unparalleled. She keeps the pacing quick and draws the reader in from the very first page! This was the first title I read of hers, and I quickly picked up the rest of her backlist! The setting of The Soulmate was unique, and almost became a character of its own for the role it played in each character’s life.

“The Soulmate” is a suspenseful, twisty, domestic drama that is told through a succession of quick chapters of alternating POV’s that switch between past and present. It’s a fast, easy read that pulled me in right from the get-go, and held me captive right up until the very end.

As the story unfolds, layers of lies, secrets and betrayal is slowly stripped away to reveal the underlying mystery that is shrouded in misperceptions. As two seemingly perfect marriages come under scrutiny, mental health issues, denial, and misplayed loyalty also come into play. It’s a character-driven story that really drives home the point that nothing is ever quite what it seems.

There’s a cottage on a cliff. Gabe and Pippa’s dream home in a sleepy coastal town. But their perfect house hides something sinister. The tall cliffs have become a popular spot for people to end their lives. Night after night Gabe comes to their rescue, literally talking them off the ledge. Until he doesn’t.

When Pippa discovers Gabe knew the victim, the questions spiral...Did the victim jump? Was she pushed?

And would Gabe, the love of Pippa’s life, her soulmate...lie? As the perfect facade of their marriage begins to crack, the deepest and darkest secrets begin to unravel.

The first 15% of this book I was not too sure how I felt about it. It just felt typical, boy was I wrong.
After that first bit I was wrapped into the story and was taking any chance I could to read.

The story of Pippa and Gabe was interesting and I kept feeling like there was more to them than it seemed. The twists blew me away and I really enjoyed their storyline

Max and Amanda's story felt like I kept expecting bad things to happen (obviously they do) but just not where I thought it was going.

This was a good quick read that I would recommend to others but would maybe not read again (I'm picky on re-reads)

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I wouldn't call this a mystery or thriller. Although, it does have an aspect of it at the end. That ending was very satisfying. It's more of a twisted love story. Sally Hepworth did a great job writing it. Her style of explaining this odd love story is mesmerizing. Reading the summary of the book, I thought Pippa would have a pivotal role in the story. I think she's more of a supporting character. I think her personality is bland and uninteresting. Amanda is the star of the story. I needed more of a background story for Amanda, and there were none. Amanda's voice is riveting and eloquent. Amanda's (AFTER) outlook is what hooked me to the book. It pushes the story along. Gabe and Pippa are genuinely a boring couple, yet they are the only ones mentioned in the summary. Overall, it's a great book to read.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for letting me read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Where do I start? I had such high hopes for this newest by Hepworth but it was awful. I didn't like the main couple and the title really was a stretch to relate to the story. The wife, Pippa, was annoying and her husband, Gabe, was worse - I think this did have potential but it was really a mess. Disappointing!

Sally Hepworth's new novel, "The Soulmate" is not about a perfect romance- far from it. Readers will get to know the perfect couple, Pippa and Gabe, in their perfect house. Things start to unravel as the story unfolds and this story is messy and definitely not perfect. Hepworth takes us on an emotional, twisty ride with this book readers will not be able to put this one down!

One of my favorite authors. This book did take me a bit to get into but once I did it was great! A bunch of cliffhangers that kept me guessing until the end.

I love a good Sally Hepworth book, and The Soulmate may be my new favorite!

We meet Pippa and Gabe Gerard, who live in a beautiful beach town overlooking the ocean. The book starts with a woman standing on the cliff, and Gabe walking out to try and talk her down from jumping. Told between alternating perspectives and timelines, we learn all about Gabe and Pippa's marriage and how the woman is connected to their past.

The plot and characters were well-developed, and just when I thought I had everything figured out, a new twist would come. A great beach thriller for the new year!!

Another page turner from Sally Hepworth! Just like all her others, I read this so fast because I could not put it down. Love the twists and turns and no matter how many times I tried to guess what was going on, I couldn’t. The way Sally weaves a tale and keeps you engaged is masterful. Love her books!!!

I enjoyed this idea of the story. After we find out who the so called jumper was, there are suddenly LOTS of questions and secrets coming out. I was entertained, but it would pick up and slow down. Some parts I found to be predictable, but a few twists that caught me by surprise. I was not a fan of Pippa for multiple reasons. None of which I will go into without giving anything away!

I thought it was written very well with the dual POV, dual timelines, any how it all came together. Relationships, mystery, mental illness, there was a lot that happened in this book. For all that was there, I just felt underwhelmed with the ending. I was surprised with how my opinions changed on characters by the last page!

Sally Hepworth can write an engrossing thriller! I enjoyed the world building and I'm especially a fan of dual (or more) POV. Thoroughly enjoyed the pace of this book and look forward to more from her.
