I was gifted this in exchange for an honest review. I recently read this and really enjoyed it - it has shot up to the top of my favorites list of 2022.

Short book that kept my attention. A woman gets onto a cruise ship without her husband, only to find out his mistress is on the boat too. I liked this book, but it skimmed anything outside of the basics.

Enjoyed the twists, short chapters, and dual POV. This was a good, engaging suspense novel almost at 4 stars for me which is pretty hard to get on my rating scale. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get lost in a story.

Unlike Sally's other books, this one lost my attention. I stopped reading this one multiple times. Although the characters were so well written, something was missing for me in the story and I just couldn't connect. Luckily, it seems like I am in the minority on this one. Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc of The Soulmate in exchange for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Sally Hepworth. It was faced paced and told from two points of view, in the past and present. I raced through it and it kept me guessing until the end.

Thank you netgalley . This was a pretty fast paced thriller and it hooked me . If you like sally Hepworth you’ll like this book .

The best Hepworth to date! Pull on a single thread and see what unravels. This was a tight, interwoven storythat was masterfully crafted. I do not want to give away more that!
Thank you to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for the Chace to review this early read.

Gabe and Pippa, hoping for a fresh start to their marriage, buy a cliffside home in an idyllic seaside location. The problem? The location is known as “The Drop” a place where people commit suicide by jumping to their deaths.

Gabe makes a name for himself as someone who can talk people down from the edge, preventing many suicides. Until one day he fails. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to save Amanda. What Gabe doesn’t mention to the police is he knows the woman. His wife Pippa doesn’t mention that she is unsure of what she saw unfold before her eyes as she watches the events out of the kitchen window.

The story is told through the alternating points of view of Pippa and Amanda, both before and after Amanda’s death. This worked quite well, as it allows a slow reveal of the facts to the reader. Secrets and lies come home to roost with devastating consequences. This is nothing new in domestic thrillers, but the author has a fresh spin on the genre.

I also felt the author dealt with a particular condition (no spoilers!) extremely well. Through my experiences as a nurse, as well as knowing someone who suffers from it, I can say with confidence the author nailed it.

Sally Hepworth is masterful at writing books that deals with serious issues, but doing so with a light touch. I literally flew through the last 70% while on a long-haul flight and the pages nearly turned themselves.

I really enjoyed the book. Sally Hepworth does not disappoint in another domestic thriller. The book is a good page turner that keeps you guessing as to just what happened at TheDrop and why, I enjoyed the various characters’ perspectives and the back and forth time line was easy to follow but added suspense to the story. Just when I thought I had one piece figured out, there was a new surprise.

Excellent book!!
This book kept me on the edge the entire time!
Definitely going to be on my top 10 for this year!

A new book by Silky Hepworth always makes me very happy. I love all her main characters and I love the humor in them. This one is especially good. Two couples are the stars of this one, Pippa and Gabe, a couple who were bought together by their sheer magnetism and Amanda and Max bought together by arrangement and social practicality. With a narrative mostly by Pippa, occasionally by Amanda, we have a front row seat to the strengths and fragility of marriage and the power and destruction of a successful business and the lengths to keep all intact. Superb writing kept me hooked to the last page and I hated for it to end.

Gabe and Pippa's dream home comes with a price, a popular suicide spot is located close to their backyard. Usually Gabe is successful in talking people out of their final plan, but this time he isn't. Pippa has suspicions about her husband. Did the person actually jump or was she pushed? As we find out the story of the woman who died by suicide, secrets of Pippa and Gabe are revealed. Sally Hepworth has written a novel with twists you won't see coming. Once again, she's written a domestic thriller that will have you turning the page.

Gabe and Pippa live in a cliff side cottage with their two daughters, what they believed to be their dream home. Unfortunately the cliff is a popular spot for people to end their lives. Gabe, a local hero, has successfully talked several jumpers away from the edge until one day he is unable to intervene. When the victim's identity is revealed Pippa realizes the connection and begins to question what she saw...did she jump or did Gabe push her?

The Soulmate is a twisty mystery involving two couples who's connections are slowly unraveled to reveal a complicated past. Told from the perspectives of Pippa and Amanda, the reader is taken from past to present as they uncover secrets from the past and present. This was a fun, fast, and entertaining read perfect for a relaxing weekend.

I love this author's books, but this one was just so-so. The plot didn't grab my attention they way her previous ones did. Hey, you can't win them all, I guess. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I will read anything that Sally right. This book blew her other ones out of the water. I thought it was more thriller versus her former mostly domestic suspense books. I like the POV of a ghost. I thought that was very unique. I didn’t try to guess the twist because I was just trying to enjoy the ride. The story was gripping atmospheric, and even had some humor within heavy subjects. This is an auto by author for me and I absolutely love the cover.

Often times, I will finish a thriller and think “i liked that book,” until I start thinking about it and all the glaring annoyances will become obvious. The Soulmate was the opposite; I actually liked this book more after I finished it!

Gabe and Pippa live in a lovely cliffside cottage outside Melbourne where they hope to raise their daughters. Unfortunately, the house’s perfect facade is shattered by the fact that it sits amount tall cliffs called The Spot- which has become popular among people wishing to end their lives. Gabe talks several people off the edge and becomes a local hero… until one night, he doesn’t. The death is ruled a stranger, but Pippa discovers Gabe knew the victim and has more questions than answers.

This was an addictive read that completely captivated me. It’s truly a great psychological thriller, but also a heartbreaking romance. It’s multi-layered, unexpected and perfectly executed.

I highly recommend this one to fans of domestic thrillers. Five stars!

The Soulmate releases on April 4, 2023. Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this digital reviewer copy in exchange my honest opinions.

I've read a few books by Sally Hepworth and enjoyed them, but didn't love them. I would add this one to that list. It definitely kept me guessing and the twist at the end I for sure didn't see coming. I enjoyed the short chapters and alternating viewpoints from the two women in the story. I also enjoyed the Australian terms for things. As I'm American, it made me smile reading what their terms were for certain things. I love a good mystery this time of year (October), so this fit the bill.

Thank you so much for this ARC! As usual, Sally Hepworth does not dissapoint. I absolutely TORE through this book. I'm not sure what it is about her writing that compells me to flip through the pages so quickly, but once I start one of her books, I simply cannot put it down.

I really love the way Hepworth weaves stories of mental health into her novels, and as someone that has experienced some of these story lines first hand, it makes the characters so much more real. Their complexities are what make them so readable.

Well, well done

Get ready for the ride of your life with The Soulmate! As you try to figure out the secrets, author Sally Hepworth will trip you up with incredible twists and suspense. A fast moving and entertaining book, readers will enjoy it from the first page to the last. Thank you to NetGalley.

Well, for starters - I do love the way Sally Hepworth writes. But this story in particular didn’t necessarily grab my attention that well.

The twists themselves weren’t super intriguing, and I did end up setting it down for a bit before finally going back to finish.

In the end, I honestly just felt really sad. Which is a perfectly normal reaction and I’m not saying it was bad because of that, I think it’s just not what I really expected.
