I really enjoyed this one! A great domestic suspense about marriage, secrets, and how we're not necessarily who we appear to be. The short chapters keep this moving at a pretty fast pace (although the middle lags a bit) and I really loved how the author set this up and slowly revealed more about the characters and their histories as the story progressed. The ending was satisfying as well, which I wasn't expecting.

My first Sally Hepworth book, but definitely not my last.

I received an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

How well do you know your soulmate? When Pippa and Gabe meet by accident at an outdoor wedding he is in, they develop a quick whirlwind romance. Feeling he's "just too good to be true", she ignores her gut and jumps in to the relationship. Despite his tendency to always want to help everyone, he goes from job to job, until he lands what seems to be a perfect job for him as a security investor in a new tech firm. The family of 4 now = Pippa, Gabe, and the 4 yr old girls Asha & Freya - move to the coast, where their house backs up to "The Drop" - a cliff where people come to jump to their deaths. Gabe had talked out of jumping several people successfully - until he doesn't. And what Pippa sees from the window will make her question if she knows her soulmate at all.
A page turner suspense that you won't be able to put down, along with a "what just happened???" ending. Put this one on your TBR stack - Sally Hepworth never disappoints in her twisty books! Thanks to Netgalley for ARC of this book; all opinions are my own.

The beginning of this book starts off with an event in the first chapter and from there we see what led up to it. It is a slow burn (especially in the middle), but I thoroughly enjoyed the authors writing and the layout of the story. Easy and enjoyable this book is a perfect beach read.

I want to thank NetGalley, Sally Hepworth and St. Martin's Press for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

I knew right away when I started reading this one it would be good and I wouldn't want to put it down. Very fast paced with many twists- my ideal thriller. I loved the different points of view in the writing. I can't wait for Sally Hepworth's next book!
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the arc. All opinions are my own.

I normally love Hepworth's novels, but this one just didn't hit for me. I was not the biggest fan of the main characters and felt that readers had to suspend disbelief for part of the plot. I was also hoping for something more in terms of it being a "thriller", but I know that Hepworth is more known for domestic suspense/thrill. All the above said, it read very quickly flipping back and forth between narrators and was fine overall, but it will not be on my top list of recommendations this year, especially from her backlist.

This was a LOT. I enjoyed Sally Hepworth’s other books like The Mother In Law, The Good Sister, and The Younger Wife. The Soulmate was slow, didn’t capture my attention, and I was ready to finish this book.

I enjoyed this book. The storyline was very intriguing and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I would definitely recommend this book and author.

This was a good read. I have always enjoyed all of Sally’s books. I knew “The Soulmate” wouldn’t be any different. I enjoyed the story and the characters.

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth is an intense thriller that will keep you riveted until the very end. Who is hiding something? How well do you know the ones you love? What is a soul mate really? These questions lie at the heart of this novel and will keep you reading. I found this book slightly more disturbing than entertaining. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

This is Sally Hepworth’s best book to date! There was not a single element that I didn’t absolutely love. Her writing style is absolutely beautiful and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read.

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

This was my first book by Sally Hepworth and I really enjoyed it!!! If you like stories about marriage, secrets, and betrayal then you will like this book!!! Read and enjoy!!!

The Soulmate is a book about love and secrets. Each secret from the main characters are revealed a little at a time so that no one really knows where this story is going. Interesting read as the story is told from 2 different points of view; Pippa and Amanda. Just goes to show you what can happen when there are secrets kept from your family.

OMG, girl, why’d you do me like that?

I honestly couldn’t get enough from this house on the cliff. The back story of the husband, the mystery of the woman on the cliff, how it all ties together and how it’s related kept me guessing. I was the wife - wanting all the answers, not wanting to suspect but also second guessing. I did not predict the twist - that came out of left field.

I’ve been in quite a book slump the past month or so and this was really the first book to pull me out of it it. The story really drew me in and the pacing was really good. The story does touch on suicide and mental health struggles but all in all it was a good read. I did find towards the middle or so, I couldn’t really find the plot of the book but still found it to be interesting and it kept my attention.

This was my first book by Sally Hepworth and I will definitely be checking out her other books!

There's a cottage perched on a cliff, the dream home of Gabe and Pippa in a quiet coastal town. But beneath the idyllic exterior lies something sinister. The towering cliffs have become an unfortunate destination for those seeking to end their lives. Night after night, Gabe plays the role of savior, talking them down from the edge. Until one day, he doesn't.

When Pippa learns that Gabe had a connection to the victim, a whirlwind of questions swirls in her mind. Did the victim jump willingly or was she pushed? And could Gabe, the person Pippa loves and considers her soulmate, be capable of lying? As the flawless façade of their marriage starts to crumble, deep and dark secrets are brought to light, unraveling their lives in unexpected ways.

Hepworth's talent lies in capturing the intricate dynamics of dysfunctional families, and in this book, she delves into a seemingly perfect marriage that reveals its flaws as the story unfolds. With the inclusion of children, extended family members, and a touch of mystery, the narrative becomes both engaging and thrilling, making for an enjoyable and exciting read.

The ending of the book shocked me and was handled in a way that gives you the feeling of complete closure. I really enjoyed this book, and I will definitely be reading more from Hepworth.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Gabe Gerard had developed a reputation around the small coastal town for his ability to literally talk suicidal people off the edge. The beautiful home Gabe and Pippa purchased had what was called “The Drop” nearby, a spot well-known locally as a place to end one’s life. Gabe had talked seven people down, saving their lives, so when Pippa noticed the woman walking towards the cliff, she alerted Gabe. Both Gabe and Pippa were confident he could help, and as usual, Pippa called the police while Gabe went out to talk to the woman. Through the window, Pippa sees Gabe reach for the woman, right before she went over the cliff, although he knows that protocol states you never try to physically stop someone from jumping, in case you fall with them. Pippa isn’t sure what to think. Did Gabe try to save her…or did he push her?

Told through alternating viewpoints, Pippa and Amanda (the woman who jumped), and varying between past and present, The Soulmate is a fascinating story of love, loss, and loyalty spanning many years.

More and more, l've really come to enjoy Sally Hepworth's brand of domestic suspense, and The Soulmate is another worthy one to add to the collection.

Great book. Great storytelling. You can never go wrong with a Sally Hepworth book. From start to finish the story was woven so well. Looking forward to her next book.

This book gave my twisty thriller loving mind a good ride! It started out with a bang and did not let up! Loved it!

Thank you to the publisher, author and netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book before release.

Unfortunately this was not it for me. I have enjoyed other books by the author and had high hopes for this book. I'm thinking it was right book wrong time and will try again another time.
