I could not put this book down! The multiple povs helped put the story together and built on the suspense! A must read!

Normally I love everything by this author, but this one didn't do it for me. It started out awesome, I thought the premise was intriguing and I got through the first 50% or so very quickly. Then it seemed to drag in the middle and I felt like everyone was just talking in circles until BAM THE ENDING. I also thought there was one loose thread from the beginning that never got resolved. Don't leave me hanging!
I'm very meh on this whole thing and probably wouldn't recommend it to others.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the ARC!

Gabe and Pippa Gerard moved to cliffside home with their two young daughters. At first it seemed like an idyllic location, but they quickly learn that it’s a popular spot for people who want to commit suicide. The first several times they see someone perilously close to the edge, Gabe uses his natural charm to talk them out of their plans. Then comes the time he doesn’t. The problem is, he knows the woman who jumped, but fails to tell police about the connection, knowing it won’t look good for him.

The novel goes back and forth in time and is told from the point of view of Pippa and the woman who died (Amanda tells her story before and after her death). Telling the story this way allows for details to come out slowly, and the reader is left wondering if Amanda actually jumped or if Gabe helped in some way.

I thought this was a fast, fun read. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this novel, which RELEASES APRIL 4, 2023.

Hepworth is a go to author for me. She always has engagingly flawed characters that you like anyway. And a fast paced plot that keeps you guessing. This is another winner for her .
Thanks for letting me review this book to Netgalley and the publisher

This is a great story, the charachters are well-developed and most of all, the story telling got me hooked from page one. The multiple POV and the jump in time adds up to the tension and the turns were unexpected.

The "not so good" thing for me was one of the main point (how they find de USB). I know, if we're believing in soulmates and the afterlife, a lot of luck are expected too. But still, I'm not convinced about that kind of luck.

Despite that, I cry a bit at the end, I love how the author wraped everything in those final pages. I had a really good time reading this book.

This was probably a 3.5, but it just didn't quite have the omph I was looking for. I liked the format and the different POVs. The characters were also well-drawn, the twist just didn't feel quite twisty enough.

We’re going back and forth and read the events from two POVs including Pippa and Amanda ( dead woman)! Their perspectives give us enough information about secrets, lies they kept about their marriages. Nothing as it seems and get ready to expect the unexpected!

My first Sally Hepworth, and I must say I'm a fan! I breezed through this book, and it was the perfect amount of mystery and drama. While the end wasn't a huge shock, I loved the backstory we got on both Amanda/Max's and Pippa/Gabe's relationships - I especially found Gabe's character super compelling. Would recommend for fans of "marriage and murder" books, as Hepworth herself says.

This story follows Pippa and Gabe, who live in their dream home near a cliffside with their two young daughters. There’s one problem though. The cliffside is a popular jump spot for suicidal people. Gabe has successfully been able to talk some people out of jumping to their death, for which he has become somewhat of a local hero. Except one night, he has an encounter with a woman that ends with her falling to her death. Pippa witnessed the last moment before the woman fell and was perplexed with Gabe’s stance and outstretched arms, which seemingly appeared to suggest maybe he did not help, but had a more sinister involvement. She tries to shake the feeling and the death was ruled a suicide. However, Pippa soon learns this woman was not a stranger to Gabe and so begins the quest for the truth, no matter how dark and secretive that truth may be.

I love a good domestic thriller. The synopsis on this book captured my attention and I couldn’t wait to dive in. I’ve read some of her other novels and have really enjoyed them. This one was so-so for me. While there were some twists and turns in this plot, most felt rather predictable or not as thrilling as I was hoping for. The story jumped between past and preset across a few different POVs, so it took some work to track and manage. The character development was pretty surface level, so I didn’t find myself feeling connected to any of the characters. It was a fairly quick read, it just wasn’t super memorable or exciting. I would give it a 3.5 rating. It appears I am in the minority based on the many stellar reviews, so I’d recommend picking it up and judging for yourself.

Thank you to NetGalley + St. Martin’s Press for the ARC. Currently the pub date is 4/4/2023, so make sure you pre-order or grab a copy when it’s released.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC. While the pace of this book was great to keep me entertained, the overall plot lost me a bit.

This book has an original storyline with more twists than you can even guess. I couldn't stop reading. I would recommend it to anyone who likes surprises in their books that they don't see coming.

The Soulmate had me hooked! I couldn't wait to see what happened. I was waiting for the classic twists that Sally Hepworth usually includes in her books. It's what I love so much about them. Unfortunately, I didn't feel that The Soulmate had any mind blowing moments. The beginning had me hooked but by the end I had lost interest in the story.

Wow is all I have to say! The Soulmate is a complex story following two families - Gabe and Pippa moved to a house on the coast next to “The Drop”, a popular suicide spot. When a woman falls to her death, a mystery follows when it is discovered who the woman was.

This novel explores the complexity of marriages, families, mental illness and business dealings. No matter how much you think you know someone, there are usually secrets and things to learn about the other person…. Sometimes love gets you through it, sometimes it doesn’t.

This book started out a little slow for me, but I was quickly drawn into the characters and all of their complexities. This was masterfully written, and I can’t wait to read Hepworth’s next book.

4.5/5 stars ⭐️ … but only because it took me a few chapters to get into it.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for gifting me this incredible ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

There was no shortage of twists or secrets in this book. It was definitely more suspense than thriller but the short chapters and intriguing plot kept me turning the pages very easily. Thanks so much to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

How do you define your soulmate? This new thriller from Sally Hepworth is full of twists and turns, told in past and present, and spinning the worlds of two couples together through it all. Pippa is certain that she has met her soulmate in Gabe, and when they move to their dream cliffside cottage, they feel that all their past troubles are over. Max and Amanda's marriage begins as one of convenience, but are they really soulmates too? Or, are some things stronger than being with your soulmate? This story was captivating, kept me guessing, and on the edge of my seat until the end. Thanks to the author, publisher, & NetGalley for the chase to review this book. Definitely recommended!

I always look forward to Sally Hepworth books and was really excited to read this one. i enjoyed it alot, i think this is what of my favorite of hers thus far! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this one. Can't wait for the next one!

Another great read from Sally Hepworth. I was immediately sucked in, and I couldn't wait to find out more about what happened. I really liked how the author was able to include Amanda's side of the story. It was also really interesting to see things from Pippa's point of view, as a devoted spouse to someone suffering from mental illness. It left the reader guessing- where did Gabe begin and end in regards to his mental illness? There were many twists that I did not see coming.

Thanks to NetGalley for the book to review.

I was really excited to have the opportunity to review “The Soulmate” and I was not disappointed! Sally Hepworth has done it again! This book is equal parts thriller, romance, and empowerment. The story flows so well and the pages turn quickly and easily because Sally, writes one hell of a psychological thriller.

I’ll give a quick rundown of the plot:
Pipa and Gabe are a married couple with two children who decide to buy a house that fulfills their dreams. This house is located on a cliff in a small Coastal town. Family members live close by, and it all seems like one lucky, loving and happy family, but…

The house location is close to a cliff where people come to commit suicide. Gabe, stays home, and notices someone on the cliff, whom apparently is going to jump, but Gabe is able to stop him! Of course, being a small town, word travels and Gabe becomes kind of an reluctant hero. Then one day Pipa sees Gabe talking with a woman on the cliff, and well let’s just say there is a question of whether she jumps or is pushed? And now, Pipa is questioning a loving husband. Soon Pipa finds out the identity of the woman and going between two POV’s we learn the truth and some secrets are revealed…

I am a fan of Sally Hepworth. Period. Her books never disappoint and have engaging characters and plots and twists. This book is no exception

I happily and without a doubt give this book 5 stars. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a eARC to read. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I had a hard time getting into this book but I love Sally Hepworth so I kept with it. It ended up hooking me so I’m glad I didn’t quit! This author knows how to tell a story and writes her characters perfectly.

A woman falls off a seaside cliff. Did she jump or was she pushed? This book hooked me right in and kept my interest (almost) to the end. I liked how the pieces came together over the course of the reveal. I didn’t really like having the dead woman’s point of view post-death added in but I did like her pre-death perspective. I felt that things went off the rails towards the end so my rating kept adjusting down. All in all, I think that fans of Sally Hepworth’s books will like this one, especially if Barrie Kreinick narrates the audiobook!
