A couple and their children live on a cliff that is known to be a popular place where people end their lives. One day, Gabe is unable to talk someone off the ledge. What really happened? Told in multiple POVs and timelines, this was an entertaining domestic drama by Sally Hepworth. Keep in mind, you do need to suspend belief for one of the POVs, but other than that it was an enjoyable read.

Thank you St. Martin's Press for providing this ARC through NetGalley!

I would say this is a typical middle of the road thriller. I enjoyed the story, but none of the twists really surprised me. My favorite part is definitely the multiple points of view, especially the “after” POV from the woman who jumped.

I would definitely recommend this to people who are new to the thriller genre, or are just looking for a fast read.

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

As usual Sally Hepworth delivers another mystery that keeps you reading until the very end. When you put the book down, you are waiting until you can pick it back up!

The Soulmate

By: Sally Hepworth

4⭐️

This was my first book by Sally Hepworth. I was hooked right from the beginning. I loved the short chapters. She did an amazing job at handling mental illness and suicide topics. I loved the then and now between Pippa and Amanda’s stories of their lives with their husbands. I do wish the twist at the end was little more thrilling but I really enjoyed the story. This won’t be my last book I read by her.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of The Soulmate for an honest review.

Sally Hepworth is one of my favorite domestic thriller authors out there! I was so excited to receive an ARC of this book. I tore through it in 3 sittings. The way she writes her characters really is amazing. Her characters are so believable. Sometimes with thrillers, i find the protagnist working against themself as a lazy trope, but that never happens with Hepworth's protagnists. She has you on the edge of your seat every time.

I loved this book. It held my interest from the start. The setting was a super creepy and I absolutely loved it. The POV style of writing was interesting. I will be recommending this to anyone!

This book was everything I wanted and more in a domestic thriller until the last 5% of the book. I loved the short chapters, dual POV, and multiple timelines. It honestly made the book SO bingeable for me! I loved the possibilities of what the final climax would be and even thought I “got it” for awhile! Unfortunately though, the ending took a right hook and went in a completely different direction than the first 95% of the book. It felt like a different book for me in that moment which was very unfortunate seeing as how we were lead in a different direction. Overall, I loved it until the twist. I’m looking forward to reading more from the author though since I love her style!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the free eARC in exchange for an honest review. OUT NOW.

Gabe & Pippa live near the Drop. A place commonly known for people who want to commit suicide. Gabe has a knack for helping prospective victims until one looks familiar. Amanda Cameron, Gabe's boss' wife, jumps. Gabe isn't forthcoming with the police, Pippa, or Max (Amanda's widow.) The novel weaves a tale of betrayal, death, and secrets better sent to the grave.

The short chapters and plot made this one of my quickest reads this year. I enjoyed the story and multidimensional plot points.

4⭐️/5

I love author Sally Hepworth, she is a auto-buy author for me and I haven’t read anything by her that I didn’t like. I read this in just a few sittings and had to get a physical copy. I went into this one blindly and I am so glad that I did. I would describe this as an edge of your seat and engaging read. The premise of the book once I’ve finished is just so unique to me (kept me guessing the whole time). I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

A great suspenseful read! The cover is absolutely stunning and will lure readers in and they won’t be disappointed. Gave and Pippa live in a small cottage on the Australian coast but their perfect little world starts to unravel after a woman jumps. But did she?
This was overall an excellent read filled with suspense and a great psychological thriller.

What a storv! I was captivated from the start and did not want to put this book down.

The mystery throughout was and the depiction of relationships, family, love and the lengths people will go to for those they love was written in very well. As was how it dealt with mental health issues and the impact they can have on family and extended family.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, even though I saw the ending coming.

I didn't like that there was a POV of a dead person. I nearly stopped reading v early on because of it, but then the story was too good and I just had to keep going and look past it. But it did take me out of the story a bit.

Gabe and Pippa have a gorgeous view from their cliffside cottage in a small coastal town. The only downside is the cliff has become a common spot for suicide attempts. Fortunately, Gabe is very good with people and has always been able rescue each person. Until one night, a woman named Amanda goes through with it. Or does she? Pippa can't believe what she thinks she saw. Did Amanda jump or did Gabe push her? Especially when she finds out Gabe personally knew Amanda, Pippa doesn't know what to think.

I have quickly come to love Sally Hepworth's novels and are a must read for me. They always draw me in almost immediately and keep me wanting more throughout the entire book. The twist of this one I never saw coming and completely shocked me, which is a common theme for this author.

Thank you Net Galley for the e-ARC!

This was a phenomenal read and might be one of my favorites from Sally Hepworth. She once again weaves mystery, lies, relationships and secrets into a page-turning masterpiece that I could not put down. I highly recommend it for thriller lovers! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Gabe and Pippa Gerard are a happily married couple, although they've faced their share of challenges in the seven years they've been together. Gabe struggles with mental illness and after an episode at his work, they decide to relocate to a seaside town outside of Melbourne, with Gabe taking on the primary caretaking of their two daughters and Pippa, an estate lawyer, acting as the family breadwinner. What they don't know is that their dream home is a popular cliffside spot for people to take their lives, and Gabe becomes well known in their small town for talking folks down from the ledge. One day, a woman visits the cliff and Gabe goes out to talk to her, but this time, he is unsuccessful and the woman ends up dead. As the police do their investigation, it becomes apparent that Gabe and the woman had a connection that threatens to unravel the tentative peace the Gerards have built.

I really enjoyed this twisty domestic thriller! There were a lot of plot elements, and at time it just all seemed like A. LOT. but overall, it was suspenseful and surprising and kept me engaged the entire time! There was so much depth and complexity to the marital relationships in this book and lots of threads connecting everyone. I loved the dual POV and getting to see the story unfold between the past and present day. A really enjoyable thriller!

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

Really enjoyed this one. While it took a few chapters to get into it, once I did the twists didn't stop. Highly recommend this one.

"The Soulmate" by Sally Hepworth is a thrilling and captivating novel that I couldn't put down. I ended up reading this one in 2 sittings (which would have been one had I not needed to sleep). This book deserves 4-stars for its compelling storytelling and engaging dual POV narrative.

One of the standout qualities of this novel is its ability to draw you in from the very beginning. I found myself completely engrossed in the storyline and the uncovering of secrets.

⭐️⭐️/5

Thank you to Netgalley for my early review copy (even if I didn’t get to it prior to publication).

Meh. That’s how I feel about this one.

The premises sounds so good but I was pretty disappointed. This was totally forgettable and honestly I already forgot some of it.

The twists weren’t that shocking, I had one figured out from the beginning because it was glaringly obvious. I also didn’t love one of the narrators on this so that also plays a big role in my review and how I feel about this book.

Lots of family drama and drama involving powerful people with secrets. That pretty much sums up this story. I did like the POV of Amanda, I thought that was a nice touch. Other than that, this was a pretty boring thriller.

Overall, I just didn’t enjoy this one as much as I had hoped I would! The cover is cool though!

Sally Hepworth’s latest novel, The Soulmate, is destined to become another best seller. What can I say? The woman can write, and her stories are so compelling! They certainly get my heart racing.

Favorite parts of The Soulmate have to be the atmospheric descriptions and the isolated location. I enjoyed a few twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Overall another solid read, which I rate 4 out of 5. Thanks to the publisher for another solid read!

I was in a bit of a book rut but this one fixed it!! This was a great thriller!

Thank you Net Galley & to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Mental illness was the main theme of this one. There was a convoluted family tree. Unfortunately, I am a fan of this Sally Hepworth novel.
