A haunting and intricately woven tale of marriage, love, loss and the boundless depths we will go to protect those closest to us. This page-turning, psychological thriller is full of unexpected twists and turns that will take your breath away and linger long after you've read the last page.

This is the first book I've read by Sally Hepworth and it certainly won't be the last! She is an absolutely intoxicating storyteller!

The Soulmate was a great page turner that keeps you guessing until the last page. It had a little more drama than I would prefer for a thriller but overall a great read. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the ARC!

This started out okay - did she jump or was it something more sinister? But it lost its appeal pretty quickly. It was lots of Gabe being ✨Gabe✨ and having tea with family and “oh dear, what should we do”. Having the ‘after’ POV from Amanda was a pretty interesting way to gain information, though.

This is a domestic thriller but honestly I just felt sad for everyone involved.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this copy for my honest review.
This latest novel by Sally Hepworth is once again her unconventional outlook on the relationships between humankind. This novel touches on the themes of marital strife caused by day to day living, mental instability of loved ones, their suicidal instabilities, ADHD and bipolar disorder, murder and the business workings of a million dollar media mogul.
Hepworth develops her characters through their own voice as two characters, Pippa and Amanda, talk through events that occur as: Pippa (Now), Amanda (After)Pippa (Then), Amanda (Then) back and forth until the plot is reveled throughout the book. Just as you might think you have the murder figured out Hepworth throws in a twist that leaves the reader sitting on the edge of their seat, reading like crazy to learn of what happened and why.
I truly enjoy Hepworth’s unconventional writing style and her voice she brings forth with the language of her Australian roots. At one point Pippa tells why she became a wills and estate lawyer not just to keep herself and others from getting “diddled” but because she gets to play God. The children in the park “bamboozle” a woman as they describe their relationship with each other. I love the usage of the word mummy instead of the flat sound of the word mom.

WoW!! What a delicious read this was. Of course it is Sally Hepworth so I wouldn't expect anything less than unputdownable. This time she upped the ante. I do believe this might be her best book yet!

When I began reading I thought maybe I knew where she was going but nooooo...fooled again. I skipped meals to continue reading this Thrill of a book. That's huge for this foody.

Read this! It's too good to explain all the twists and turns but you will not be disappointed!

Engrossing thriller that kept you reading until the very last page. I couldn't put this book down.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

3.75 stars…This was a great book. The author’s writing was super easy to read and had a great flow about it. She did a great job with just enough details to get you engrossed in the storyline without giving too much away. There were several twists as well. I would love to read another book by this author!

I am a huge fan of Sally Hepworth's work, so I was very excited to see that she had another book coming out! This one did NOT disappoint. In this book, we follow Pippa and Amanda, two women who are very different, but are linked together. Alternating between "Then" and "Now," the reader gets to understand the inner workings of these women's minds. I did NOT see the ending coming, and was completely satisfied with how everything was wrapped up. Another 5 star thriller from Sally Hepworth!

What an intense read! I really enjoyed this book. I had no idea what was going to happen or who was to blame or who was telling the truth. A shocking end! I just loved it

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for this e-ARC.

I read this book in one day, on a day I worked my full time job.

There were so many secrets alluded to throughout the book and they were slowly revealed as I read. This kind of plot keeps me very interested. I always try to guess what's going on, but I don't always get it. I figured out some of the plot twists, but not all of them.

I always worry that books will be too predictable, and thus, boring. However, this book kept me wanting to steal snippets of time throughout my day to read and find out more.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there were quite a few characters to keep track of and at times I got a little confused about who I was reading about.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend to friends.

I LOVED it!! I was non-stop addicted the entire book! Gabe and Pippa have the perfect marriage, family and cliff side home…well from the outside. Their gorgeous cliff side home attracts jumpers and the happy couple’s life takes a drastic turn when a successful jumper is an acquaintance of Gabe’s. The jump broke the facade and all the cracks were revealed. I love the dual narrators in the story, it brought such a unique perspective and added so much depth. The pacing was perfect and as the story unfolded it revealed an amazing ending. Loved it!!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! 4/5 stars. I love all of Sally Hepworths books, and I felt the same about this one. Gabe and Pippa live next to a tall cliff that people try to take their lives at. Gabe has always been able to save people from jumping, until he loses one. As more information comes out, it’s not looking good for Gabe.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my copy of The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth in exchange for an honest review. It publishes April 4, 2023.
As always, I knew I needed to read this as soon as it was announced. It is basically an annual tradition that I must read the newest from Sally Hepworth. As usual, this book was gripping, I did not want to put it down. Such a thrilling premise that was more than meets the eye. I loved the multiple points of views and time frames. I think that really enhanced the reading experience.
I definitely recommend this if you want to get into something you don't want to put down!

I feel torn on this one.
I feel like the plot was good but the execution was lacking something. It felt rushed toward the end and I didn’t get the sense of closure I seek in something this heavy. But overall I’d give it 3/5 stars.

This is a solid 4.5 stars! I love the two different points of view and the two time lines. Reading this to me feels like watching a big puzzle come together which is so satisfying once it’s complete. I always try to guess the ending of thriller books and pre usual with Sally Helpworth, I didn’t guess it and I loved it! In the beginning I was much more a Pippa/Gabe fan and obviously by the end I loved Amanda/Max. The whole story is wonderfully written and the ending to me with Max jumping off the cliff was perfect (that feels weird to say but I stand by it).

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Pippa is happily married and has two kids she lives in a gorgeous house that is near a cliff where individuals are known to jump. When a woman jumps, Pippa is surprised that her husband knows who she is. Pippa is not sure if he is telling the truth. I enjoyed this book and I cant wait to read her next one.

Sally Hepworth’s writing style is in my top 5. For me, this book had a bit of a slow start, but kept me curious. As it went in, I LOVED how things began to unravel and I understood why the slow start. The tiny hints dropped, and the subtle changes in the characters and relationships was superb! AND THE FINAL TWIST! Didn’t see it coming AT ALL but then realized there were hints dropped. Man, what a good read! Brava!

This was such a quick read because I couldn't put it down. "The Soulmate" had me hooked from the beginning as I was curious to figure out what happened to the victim- did she take her own life or was she pushed by Gabe, as his wife may have seen? This was totally a "how well do you know your husband?" book and I was here for it. I mean nothing puts the suspense in domestic thriller like thinking your husband may be capable of murder, right? Oh, except when he lies about knowing the victim...

This story is told through the perspectives of Pippa and the victim, in both a past and present timeline. I'll be honest, I totally cringed when I saw a chapter from the victim in the present, but to my relief, it was done really well and never felt paranormal. Trust me, I hate a ghost story and yet I actually liked this fresh perspective. One of my favorite parts of this book was learning about the two marriages through the women's eyes- their marital strengths, weaknesses, and how they expressed their love and commitment.

The character development was strong, the relationships were realistic, and the suspense was page-turning! I highly recommend this book when it is released in April. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC.

"In one lifetime, you will love many times, but one love will burn your soul forever." Patty Starr Chase

WOWZA! This was so good! I love when a book surprises me and this one did several times. This had twists and turns galore! Bring it on!!!

Gabe and Pippa live in a cottage on a cliff. There are great views, but the cliff is known as the spot "The Drop" where people come to end their lives. Gabe has gone out and convinced people not to jump until one day he doesn't. Gabe tells the authorities that the woman informed him that she was distraught over her husband's infidelity. Her death is ruled a suicide but the police keep asking Gabe and the woman's husband questions. When Pippa learns that Gabe knew the victim and did not disclose it, Pippa wants to learn the truth about what happened, why the woman was on the cliff and why her husband lied.

I loved how the book is told through the POV of Pippa and Amanda (the dead woman). Through each POV we get to learn more about the women, their marriages, and their secrets. Juicy, juicy, juicy.

This book is so full of twists and turns be careful not to get whiplash! I loved the juicy domestic drama. I found this book very hard to put down and kept making time to read it. It's gripping, shocking, dramatic, full of secrets, and left me with my mouth hanging open a couple of times.

Hepworth has done it yet again! This is now my favorite book by her.

Highly Recommend.

How far would you go to protect someone you love. What lengths would you go to to keep their secrets?

On the outside Gabe and Pippa appear to have the perfect life; two beautiful daughters, a lovely home, and a stable marriage. But they are keeping secrets...

I devoured this book. With every twist and turn I was left wondering "what next?" Secrets, lies, and misunderstandings lead to suicide...but was it really an accident? You will need to read the book to find out.

Many thanks to the author, St. Martin's Press, and Net Galley for the ARC.
