Sally Hepworth writes bingeable books, and The Soulmate is no different. The story is suspenseful and interesting - I couldn't put it down! While I didn’t find the end to be anything majorly shocking (I actually prefer it not to be), it did wrap up nicely with all loose threads coming together.

Sally Hepworth does it again! This book has it all. Twists, and turns that suck you in from the get-go. It also presents some thought provoking ideas about marriage. It is well written and has good character development. Sally Hepworth is an auto-buy author for me and after reading this book it will stay that way!

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Sally Hepworth for my ARC of The Soulmate.

Just like all her previous books, The Soulmate was interesting, unique and capturing from the jump. I think we can all agree that the tell tale sign of an amazing book is when you get fully immersed and time passes without even realizing! Sally did a wonderful job at making the characters come alive as well as creating a setting which was delightful to visit.

Do yourself a favor and pick this up in April. You will not be disappointed with all the fun twists, turns and secrets in between these pages.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy. A young family buys a home that backs up to an infamous cliff frequented by suicidal visitors. The man living in the house, Gabe, has saved many lives talking to those in dismay, but after a devastating incident at the cliff, many secrets are uncovered. I love Sally’s writing for its unpredictability and twists throughout the book that keep you on your toes. Definitely recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

After having discovered Sally Hepworth through our book club, where we read The Good Sister, where everyone enjoyed the novel, I was excited to dive in to her next story. I was not disappointed.

Two women, Pippa and Amanda seem to have the perfect lives: perfect husbands and perfect marriages. But there is more than meets the eye as the story advances.

Pip and her husband Gabe have moved from the city to a lovely beach house to start over. Unknowingly their beautiful new home has a startling backstory. Its backyard is the place where many people go to end their lives. Gabe is seen as guardian angel, pulling people back from the brink of suicide in the short time they’re lived there. Until there is one person he doesn’t save. And his wife can’t be sure he wasn’t the one to push her over the edge.

This story had a very unique narrator, Amanda, the woman who went over the edge. The story was told through flashbacks from both Pippa and Amanda’s perspectives but also followed Amanda after her death. Very reminiscent of The Lovely Bones. As we learn more about the events surrounding the last death at The Drop, we start to unravel the events from the past that led us to the present.

Even with the flashbacks and dual narrators, the story was easy to follow and captivates you from the first few chapters. A story that serves as a cautionary tale: while a marriage may seem perfect on the outside, behind closed doors, you never know what really goes on.

So I have decided that I love Sally Hepworth, her writing always gets to me. It hits those vulnerable spots, and makes you feel all the feels. And yet you think you know what’s happening, but do you really? I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters or endearing, the story was enthralling. I didn’t see the twist coming and I love that.

I received this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy (ARC) through NetGalley. I received this copy free in exchange for my honest review.

Sally Hepworth always has such a way of drawing me in from the get go - The Soulmate gripped me from page one. Told in multiple POVs and timelines, The Soulmate truly surprised me and threw some curveballs I never saw coming - another great domestic thriller from this talented voice.

Thank you to St. Martins Press for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Hmm, so, I've read a handful of books by Sally Hepworth now and they usually land somewhere between three and four stars for me. For the first 1/2-2/3 of this book, I was really enjoying this story of a couple, Gabe and Pippa, who buy a house on a cliff that is well known for being a popular spot for suicides - the price was right. Gabe becomes known for his ability to talk would-be jumpers off the edge... until he fails. The story is told in the past and present and from the perspective of both Pippa and the woman who went over the cliff. Secrets and twists abound as the reader learns odd the events leading up to this fateful meeting on the cliff. Overall, I enjoyed the story, though the end lacked something and felt somewhat anticlimactic. Definitely worth a read and I'll read more from this author, just not my favorite of her books.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sally Hepworth is one of my favorite authors for good reason. The way her writing pulls you in and leaves you enthralled is second to none. 🤌

The ending actually gave me all the unexpected feels. I do believe that this is my first thriller book that has made me tear up. I definitely wasn’t expecting that! 😂

Loved it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novel by Sally Hepworth explores the deeply flawed nature of people and shows that not everything is always how it appears. While I think the ending was a bit rushed, I still enjoyed the satisfying conclusion. Looking forward to reading more novels by this author.

Totally Twisted.

Wild, wicked, and unputdownable, The Soulmate shocked and appalled me. And yet, I loved every single minute of it.

Pippa and Gabe are a happily married couple, who move to a cliffside home by the sea. What they don't realize is that their home overlooks "The Drop" - where people go to complete suicide, by jumping off the cliff. Realizing this, Gabe takes it upon himself to help those in their time of need and talks people down from the edge. One day, however, he fails, and a woman jumps. Watching from their house, Pippa is unsure of what she just saw.

As the police investigate, the woman's name is released and the lines blur even more, as nothing is as it seemed.

Secrets, lies, and drama run rampant in this domestic thriller and I was totally there for it.

This was a buddy read with Kaceey that kept us both entertained.

As a disclaimer, this novel includes suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.

One of my favorites of hers!! I could not put it down. I loved the characters and the twists and turns. The pov from each wife was just perfect for this story. They each were devoted to their husbands, but at what cost? Loved it! Can’t wait to share with others.

I really liked this book! It was a quick read and kept me engaged from start to finish. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was quite predictable.

This was quite interesting. I enjoyed how this story was written and ALL the twists and turns that happened. Great job, Sally Hepworth! 😎 Thank you, NetGalley, for allowing me to read this book. I know all thriller lovers will enjoy it too! 🥰

Thank you NetGalley, Sally Hepworth and St. Martin's Press for the ARC of The Soulmate. This is my personal review.
Gabe and Pipa are living in their dream home with their two daughters. The home sits on a cliffside in a small town near Melbourne. They are living near family, and everything appears to be a perfect life for everyone.
The house they love sits near a cliff where many have gone to end their lives by jumping off the cliff. Gabe has been able to talk many of them from this fate until one day he failed. Pipa did everything she could to console him. Things took a turn when Pipa realized she knew the woman Gabe could not save.
The story is told in such a way that I could not help but keep reading. It left me holding my breath at times waiting for what was coming next.

Sally Hepworth is the queen of the twisty twisted thriller. I consumed this in one day because every time I told myself I'd take a break and go to something else, she dropped another surprise and I'd have to read on.

The Soulmate is my first read from Sally Hepworth & it did not disappoint!

I loved the short, quick chapters and really enjoyed the story being told from the two perspectives.of Pippa & Amanda. The story captured me from the beginning and I would have read it one sitting however, it took me longer to read (due to mommy duties) but I definitely spent my time rushing through every day activities so I could get back to reading!

There was enough suspense to keep you stuck and though the twists weren’t super shocking they were enough to keep me satisfied because they were more realistic rather than over the top. I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to reading more work from Hepworth!

3 Stars ⭐️

This was my first book by Sally Hepworth.
As much as I loved the concept of this book it just felt like a drag. It was so slow. I thought with how short the chapters were, loved that by the way, that it would feel like a quick fun read but nope it was so boring. The twists were decent but not amazing. This book definitely left me underwhelmed and I’m so sad. However, I will still give her other ones a try.

Thank you Sally Hepworth, Netgalley & St. Martins Press for the ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

Sally Hepworth is the undisputed queen of domestic thrillers and you cannot convince me otherwise.

This book had everything I’ve grown to love in a Sally Hepworth book:
-A family in which I am FULLY invested. I needed to know everything about Pippa and Gabe, their daughters, and Pippa’s family.
-Twists and turns that unravel throughout the book to keep me reading.
-An unclear idea of who the “bad guy” is with a fully satisfying final reveal.

This book is written in dual POVs with dual timelines, too. The chapters are super short, so you’re switching perspectives frequently. I enjoyed the constant change and I felt equally as invested in Pippa as I did Amanda and I cared just about the present timeline as I did the past.

The premise of The Soulmate is original, fresh, and new… but I found the character relationships, dynamics, and day-to-day very familiar. I absolutely LOVED this combination because it made the story feel realistic and that made it all the more eerie.

This book will keep you guessing, keep you reading, and definitely keep you entertained. It was an easy 5 star for me and one I recommend!

This has to be the twistiest book I have read this year! This fast-paced thriller kept me on edge the entire time. This is my first Sally Hepworth book, and it will be the first of many. Before you read, make sure to check out trigger warnings.

This story is primarily told from the perspective of two main characters: Pippa and Amanda. It jumps between a "Now" and "Then" time frame, and I found it very easy to navigate the time jumps. Amanda's perspective was fascinating to me. I don't want to give it away, but I found it very believable, and it really helped me to understand her character. Pippa primarily drives the narrative of the story, and I found myself empathizing with her throughout the story. Pippa, along with her husband Gabe and her children live in a home that overlooks a cliff. Gabe is known for talking people off the edge of that cliff. But Gabe has secrets of his own. This is really a story about family and what it means to stand by each other. The question is, do you know who you are standing by?

I have a lot to say about this book, but I will be giving away too many plot points. I think this book is perfect for book clubs. There is so much to discuss and a lot of "What Ifs?" to really dig deep into.

The last quarter of this book moves at a whiplash pace. You will really need to hang on tight at the end. So much happens and it left my head spinning. It gives the reader a lot to think about.

This book releases in April of 2023. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advanced reader copy of this fantastic story. It will stick with me for a long time. I highly recommend this book!
