This book had me hooked from the first chapter. It shifts between the past and present and is told in multiple POV. I found it to be an easy read and finished it in 24 hours!

This book does talk about mental health issues such as ADHD, PPD, and bipolar disorder. Sally Hepworth does a great job talking about both Gabe and Pippa’s mental health. She does it in a way that is tasteful without making the characters whole personality revolve around it.

I really enjoyed the book and how things came together in the end. I would absolutely love another book from Gabe’s point of view.

WOW! Another 5 star page turner from Sally Hepworth. Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.

Gabe and Pippa live a seemingly normal life in a lovely home in a quiet coastal town. Their home is very near the Cliffs, where many people have completed suicide. Once Gabe and Pippa move in, they are able to see if there is anyone standing on the cliff, and Gabe has made it his mission to go out there and talk them off the edge. Gabe has saved seven lives since they’ve lived there, but it’s the eighth person here that Gabe was unable to save. A person that Gabe knew, and makes Pippa question her own memory about what she saw that night, and question everything she knows about her marriage.

This book was full of twists, and some are done so well and are very nonchalant. Hepworth makes it seem as normal as simply locking the front door and continues on with the story, making you go back to reread and ensure it is what you thought you read. This novel is full of marriage, love, mental illness, and murder which all combined makes this one of the best novels I have read in a long time.

This was so good! I loved the writing style, all different pov’s throughout and the twists just never stopped! This is definitely one you cannot put down. Once you get involved into the story of Pippa and Gabe you keep wanting more!

Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for my ARC!

Sally Hepworth does it again! I really loved this novel and the familial relationships it explored. Such a great twist at the end! Overall a 5/5 from me!

Total page turner you should go into blind. The main points to know are it deals with the good and bad of marriage, mental health and secrets. Otherwise just enjoy the ride. I was definitely worried I wouldn’t like the ending but I was left pretty satisfied. As well folks who like domestic thrillers will love this. That that like to pick apart thrillers and find holes may not but this is my fave Hepworth after the Good Sister. Well done!

I was happy to get this ARC from Net Galley. I really like this author. This book was really good. A lot of things that I expected were not what they seemed so I really enjoyed that about the book. The author keeps throwing in little surprises.

The book is about two marriages and how they intertwine. It's also a book about work and family life. One person dies and the truth is slowly revealed along with some other surprises. It shifts back and forth in time with each chapter. Very well done. I would recommend this to a friend.

4.25/4.5 ⭐️
The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth is due to be released April 2023. The story is set in Australia and follows the marriage of Gabe and Pippa . Apart from the couple going through many hardships throughout their marriage consisting of infidelity, murder , and mental illness the couple also has just moved into a home that faces tall cliffs which have become a popular destination for those contemplating suicide .

Gabe soon becomes the local hero after he is known for dissuading those that have come to the cliff to end their lives . However everything takes a complete turn when a woman comes to the cliff and doesn’t make it out alive .

The story was a great fast paced read .
The short chapters alternated between characters and different timelines (the then & after) which enhanced the story. The author does an excellent job at interweaving themes of fidelity, mental illness, revenge, trust, and love.
Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another WONDERFUL, Sally Hepworth book. She is a wonder, a miracle, and understands humans better than any author I know. I am so grateful to have received this book - thank you. The story was riveting and fun - lots of twists and turns. Super atmospheric. Highly recommend.

That ending! A slow burning story that turns into an insane wildfire about 50% in and explodes with plot twist after plot twist in the last 25%. I loved this book! Emotional and suspenseful, I loved all of the characters. Highly recommend!

There are several twists within this story.

It’s a dual POV from Pippa and Amanda with past and present intertwined, so you have to really pay attention or you could get lost. Sally does a great job at really allowing you to get to know the characters and make them relatable.

I kept going back and forth on who I believed or truly liked. In the end it was a really well written book.

Thank you Netgally and Sally Hepworth for my eARC.

Gabe and Pippi live in their dream house located on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. The only problem with this beautiful, peaceful location is that it’s called” suicide point“ because so many people have thrown themselves over edge to end their lives. These events happened in plain view from the house. Gabe, being an empathetic person, goes out and tries to talk people “down”. He has been quite successful until this last time when his bosses’ wife threw her self over the edge. Or did she get pushed? So begins a truly engaging domestic suspense novels that could only come from Sally Hepworth.

I absolutely loved this book! Suspense at its finest, Hepworth weaves a stunning narrative that will likely stick with me for a long time.

I LOVED this one! It sucked me in from the first page and I could not put it down. I finished it in one night. Oops! Well done!

OH SOOOO GOOD!

An absolute page turner. I was immediately hooked and didn’t want to put it down! I finished it in 2 sittings. The twists & turns are masterful. I enjoyed the dual points of view storytelling. It was easy to follow and enhanced the mystery and suspense.

Thank you NetGalley & St. Martin’s Press for sending this book for review consideration.

I definitely had a major problem with this book as I did with all Of Sally Hepworth's others.
I had to stay up the ENTIRE night to finish it. There wasn't any "read a chapter before bed" . I simply could not put it down as I had to find out the ending.
Everyone has a soulmate, sometimes as in this case it may be a little more than we bargained for.
An absolutely FANTASTIC book as is all of her others!!!

Loved this book! Truly suspenseful. I felt like I was guessing the whole time, and the ending was perfect!

Wow, I am not usually a mystery/thiller reader but when I saw how popular it was getting I knew I had to give it a chance. I am so glad that I did. The grip that this book had on my attention made it super easy to finish it in one sitting. I have been sick this past week so it kept me well distracted through the long weekend. It had everything, you could want and more packed into the pages. I will possibly try more in this genre due to the success of this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great fast paced read. It is an interesting story with overlaps between characters (2 couples with supporting players) that I saw coming yet there were surprising turns as well. While I wasn't really invested in any of the characters and I wasn't fond of how one couple's ending, the story itself was engaging. The short chapters alternated between the characters and in different timelines (then, now, after) which enhanced the story. The little girls were absolutely adorable and I loved the internal family support that not only the daughters were provided but also to their Mom. Her parents, sister, and sis-in-law's unwavering support for them was absolutely incredible and those scenes really stood out. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

Gripping, tautly plotted domestic suspense story featuring interesting characters and a great setting. Would I have purchased a home right on the edge of a cliff that multiple people have used to commit suicide? Umm, no. Did two of the main characters in this book? Yes and thus begins the ride that is The Soulmate.

Using a "then" and "now" storyline for each of the 4 main characters, Sally Hepworth begins the book with a bang and then the reader experiences the unfolding of how we got to the "bang" through the then and now sections.

I definitely didn't want to put this book aside, even for work, and eagerly returned to it as soon as possible. I was misled a few times, thinking I'd figured out why, but I was never quite right. The ending was quite satisfying.

I'd recommend this to anyone who likes domestic suspense, a bit of psychological suspense, and simply a well told tale that will keep you reading long past your bedtime.

Thank you to the author, publishers, and Netgalley for an ARC at my request. All thoughts are my own.

Thank you so much Net Galley and Putnam for this ARC! I tore through it in 24 hours. There are so many twists and turns, it kept me engaged and reading throughout a crazy travel day. A must read if you enjoy domestic thrillers!
