A fun, fast paced, twisty thriller.

I had a lot of fun reading (listening) to this one. It was interesting seeing things through the multiple pOV's. Especially from Amanda's (a dead woman) viewpoint.

There was so much that linked these people together, and so much that was only parts of the story.

I was not a fan of Gabe. He seemed a mess of a person. There were parts where he seemed so kind, like talking people off the cliff. But once you get more into the story, he had a lot of issues. More so than just his mental health. He just wasn't always a good person to his wife.

Pippa, for the most part seemed decent, besides one thing, which kind of kicks this whole sequence of events off. Well, kind of. Again Gabe is a big part of this mess to begin with....

But, the end! I really liked the end. Though I can't say too much about it.

I absolutely love Sally Hepworth's books. To me, they are the perfect thriller. It's not going to keep me up at night or make me paranoid to be home alone, but it's twisty, usually involving family drama, mostly unusual circumstances, never overdone tropes. Literally perfect!

That said, this was probably my least favorite Sally Hepworth book. Her other stories have had more unique twists than this, and I was really hoping for a bigger twist. Honestly though, any Sally Hepworth book is still so much better than most thrillers for me, so I am still very happy I read this and already can't wait for the next one!

Gabe and Pippa have the perfect marriage, perfect family, perfect home in a perfect town... except they really don't. Their home is directly in front of a notorious spot for suicide in their town, and this combined with other things we learn about their marriage reveals that everything is not always as it seems!

Twisty thriller about marriage and fidelity and mental health. Pippa and Gabe move to a house on a cliffside, a popular suicide spot, it turns out. Gabe turns out to be an effective whisperer to those who come to jump, convincing each of them to abandon their intentions. Until he doesn’t. And the one who plunges from the cliff has many secrets, secrets which involve Gave and Pippa.
It was compelling to listen to and read (I switched back and forth from audio to ebook), and it’s crafted well, with several reveals and tight pacing. I wouldn’t want to hang out with any of the characters, but they were developed well and unique individuals.
One part of the ending bugged me a bit, but I can’t say more without spoiling. If you’re a fan of thrillers, I think you’ll like this one!
Thanks to the publisher for the advance copies.

What do mental health problems, marital and family secrets and a troubling death equal? One REALLY GOOD thriller! I've been dying to read this and I'm so glad I got the chance to early. It was amazing!

I reaaaallllyyyy wanted to love this book because I feel like everyone who had read it did. But I could not get into it. I felt like it dragged. I did push through and finish it.

There were twists at the end that I did not expect but nothing mind blowing. I do appreciate a mental health representation. I felt like the plot was a bit flat. There was so much potential with this book, but I never felt hooked.

I may be in the minority, but I just did not connect with this book.

Thanks to St. Martin's Press for a copy of The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth.

It was fine. Probably my least favorite of the four books of hers I've read. I know going into her books that they are going to be more family drama than suspense so I've set my expectations.

It was an easy read, I liked the dual points of view from Pippa & Amanda and I wasn't quite expecting the ending. It was a solid 3-star book from me.

The Soulmate officially comes out in the US on April 4th.

This was such a fast read for me! If you love short chapters - this is the thriller for you. For me, the plot fell a little flat and I didn't really care much about any of the characters. I loved the dual POV and timelines of this one ~ helped make it feel a bit twistier and left you on your toes a few times.

Excited to read more of her books. Recommend this one!
Pub day April 4

Pippa and Gabe live in a beautiful house on the edge of a cliff. Gabe has become famous for saving the lives of multiple people who have come to jump. Until the night that he isn’t able to save Amanda.

Now Pippa realizes that Gabe knew Amanda and that their lives are more intertwined than anyone thought. And Pippa has to discover the truth to keep her family safe.

This book started off strong but the ending fell flat for me. Things happened that were just came completely out of left field for the characters. It’s told in dual timelines and dual perspective. There were some twist thrown in throughout the book, with a big reveal at the end. Overall, 3/5⭐️

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin’s press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sally Hepworth, the author of “The Good Sister and “The Younger Wife” entertains us once more with a new thriller set in a coastal town near Melbourne. Gabe and Pippa have bought a house on the cliffs that’s everything they love. But they learn after moving in that the cliff nearest their home has become notorious for suicides. Gabe makes it his life’s purpose to go talk to these people and save them from themselves. But one afternoon, while Pippa is watching out the window, Gabe fails. The young woman goes over the edge. The police are called, and the lies start immediately. Pippa becomes convinced that Gabe had a role in this suicide when it comes to light that he knew the victim. In fact, he had worked for the victim’s husband.
Here, as they say, is where the plot thickens. You have a gorgeous young couple living in a quaint cottage by the sea, throw in two adorable children who may or may not be used for leverage, spice up it with a bit of infidelity and dirty money, then sprinkle a small amount of mental illness on top. Voila! Another superb novel by the master of thrillers. Plan to read the whole book once you start, it’s that addictive.
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. The publishing date is April 4, 2023.

This was a stellar thriller!!! I loved every second of it! I had to keep telling myself to put the book down and feed your family or finish the laundry.

I didn't like this book as much as I thought it would. I may have set very high standards but the big wow factor just never came for me. I was waiting for a big exciting O M G twist and you know the story just kind of played out.

With that being said this is still a great read, just a little slower than I thought it would be. I am still not sure how i like the ending but it followed the soulmate theme right to the last jump!

Also shows you how much impact a seemingly innocent lie can have!

Friends don't cheat and don't lie! Also know your worth!! The main character took awhile to find hers!

Thank you for approving me for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!


I found this story engaging & unique throughout the story i loved how the chapters alternated perspectives & switched timelines.

I was a bit underwhelmed with the ending but i think if ur looking for a quick domestic thriller u would probably like this one.

This was an entertaining thriller and I really enjoyed it. It was full of twisty turns and was a fast paced book. I would recommend for fans of thrillers.

Pippa and Gabe have moved with their two young children to a house on the coast - a beautiful spot overlooking a cliff to the ocean. Its isn't long after they move in that they realize that the spot, known as "the Drop", is a place that people come to commit suicide.

Gabe finds he has an ability to talk to the people who arrive to end their lives and is able to persuade them not to jump. He's hailed as a local hero as he rescues one after another.

Then comes the day that a woman arrives, and after Gabe talks to her all day, she jumps. Only, what Pippa saw out of her window, doesn't quite match the story that Gabe tells the police. Was there something else going on? When it is revealed that the woman who jumped was the wife of a man that Pippa had an affair with, Pippa really starts to question what she saw, and what Gabe is involved with.

Told from 4 different angles: Pippa's story from earlier in their marriage, and Pippa's story in the present, along with two timelines from the woman who jumped - the before and after stories, this was an engaging book full of twists and turns. The four POV's worked. Each felt distinct and I wasn't confused as to where we were in the plot. Mental illness, family dysfunction, suicide ae all dealt with. Several big twists were a real surprise to me.

A great read.

This one started off SO strong. I was invested after the first chapter and with the short chapters, I couldn't help but keep reading. I ended up binging this one in two sittings. There were a couple times I found myself having to go back to check what time point we were in and who's POV it was, but overall I think the author did a good job of helping to keep the reader on track. Things started to slow down in the second half of the book and the twist seemed somewhat underwhelming.

Gabe and Pippa move to a new house on the ocean and next to their house is a cliff that multiple people tend to take their lives on. Gabe goes to try and stop another person from jumping as he usually does, but things start to go wrong and secrets start to come out. There were some parts that I felt could have been skipped or just threw the story off a bit.

This is actually my first book by Sally Hepworth and I would pick up another! Overall, I'd give this one between 3.5-4 stars.

“Get ready for a thrilling, addictive novel about marriage, betrayal and the secrets that push us to the edge.”

And you certainly get all that in The Soulmate! Although I wouldn’t necessarily classify this as a thriller but more of a domestic suspense, there were a lot of different elements to balance out this story. I love family dramas and when you get the secrets as well as a mysterious death, I’m there for it. While I Ioved the dual POV’s, alternate time lines and some decent twists, I would have liked a bit more from the ending. But overall, a really enjoyable and entertaining read.

Another great read from Sally Hepworth! I loved this fast paced thriller and all of the characters. Sally is really great at writing characters that feel real and unique. I loved this book so much that I have bought a physical copy for my shelf and I will be recommending it to friends.

I have only read one Hepworth book so far (The Mother-In-Law), but was excited to get a chance to read this.

This was a solid 4 star book in my opinion. I loved the different POVS, and how it flipped between now and then. I loved the surprises and twists and many times I had to stop and say, "wait, what?????" because I didn't see that twist coming! Hepworth definitely paints a picture and then completely changes your view of the whole picture as you read. I started the book and thought that I knew exactly where it was going, but the ending proved me wrong.!

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

The Soulmate by @sallyhepworth

This one was addicting! I read it in a day - the chapters are short and pull you in immediately. I loved the different POVs and I loved the setting!

I think Sally is one of the best at writing characters with great depth and I feel like I’m always wondering who I can and cannot trust. The Soulmate was no different and it was definitely fueled by deep character development and some sinister things going on.

I loved the twist and felt like everything tied together really well. I was not expecting the ending!!

Read if you’re looking for:
-flawed characters
-short binge-worthy chapters
-mental health representation
-marriage themes
-coastal, cliff rock setting
-dark & twisty

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This one’s out April 4th and I highly recommend picking it up! Sally Hepworth is definitely an auto-buy author for me and this one did not disappoint. Thank you to @stmartinspress & @netgalley for the early copy — all opinions are my own!

Another total winner by Sally Hepworth! I loved the dual POV and dual timeline in this book. I thought it was so action-packed, but not in an overwhelming way. The writing was quick and the characters had a great depth to them. I'll definitely be recommending this one.
