Sally Hepworth is by far one of my favorite authors. After The Good Sister, anything she writes is a must read for me. The Soulmate had all the twists and turns that I love and Sally is always able to keep me guessing. I also loved the multiple view points. The Soulmate will definitely be one of my favorites for the year. Now to wait patiently for the next book.

Hepworth's books are pure gold to me since The Mother-in-Law. I'm happy to say that The Soulmate is another winner!🏆

I was invested in this domestic thriller from the first sentence to the last. SH knows how to create intriguing and multidimensional characters. This novel, as the others by the same author, is captivating and touching at the same time. The plot is full of twists and turns and, even if they're sometimes predictable, at least they are realistic.

My favorite remains The Good Sister, but The Soulmate was a fantastic read!

Many thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC

Gabe and Pippa live in their dream house which happens to have, right behind it, a cliff with a walking path to a favorite suicide point called "The Drop." Gabe, a stay at home dad, has become known for his skill at talking people down off the cliff, and there have been a few. Then one day a woman jumps while he is talking to her, and Pippa is a witness to it as well. After a time it is revealed that they knew the woman. Did she really jump, or was she pushed?

Right away I'm thinking who'd want to live in such a location, idyllic or not? They had two little girls they needed to remind to stay off the cliff. None of this felt sensible to me and the more I read about their lives, the less sense it made.

Hepworth wins high praise from me usually, but this time I'm shaking my head. Still, for her characterizations and portrayal of mental illness, she deserves no less than 3 stars. Liked it, didn't love it.

Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy.

5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gabe and Pippa are living in their dream home on the coast. Their cottage is perfect except for one thing: the house is set on a tall cliff, which has become a popular spot for people to commit suicide. Gabe has made it his mission to come to their rescue, saving countless lives… until one day, he doesn’t. Pippa soon discovers that Gabe knew the female victim, and she begins to question whether her husband, her soulmate, might have actually caused her death.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s told from two POVs—Pippa and the (now) dead woman, in the past and the present—and I feel it was done very well. The story is fast paced, twisty, and it absolutely held my attention. I even cried a little toward the end!

Overall I loved this read. I couldn’t put it down… if you’re looking for your next book, THIS IS IT.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an early copy of The Soulmate. I LOVED The Good Sister and could NOT wait for this book but when I read the synopsis I was like ugh. How wrong I was!!!!! What a Great book I even cried at the end. There was one thing I found wrong which was the day of one of the daughters birthdays they used the wrong name with the gifts. Otherwise this was WOW!!!!! I Never figured out the twist, it was such a gooooood book. I love this authors writing.

Thanks for the ARC, Netgalley! This was a fun read with a few twists. I was left slightly underwhelmed but only because expectations were set so high with "The Good Sister." The chapters were short, which is great when you only have short spurts of time to get reading in. Pippa and Gabe are main characters. Pippa is a lawyer and Gabe stays home with the girls. Everyone loves him - he's larger than life. Mental health and erratic behaviors are factors here and the marriage is threatened. Gabe and Pippa's home is near an infamous cliff. More than once, Gabe has intercepted a person there and talked them out of ending their life. Eventually, he is not able to save someone. There are questions about if the victim really jumped or if she was pushed. Secrets are revealed in this twisty thriller.

An edge-of-your-seat read with dual narration. This book kept me turning pages as I was waiting to see how everything would unfold. I enjoyed the cliffhangers at the end of multiple chapters and the twisty plot line.

Sally Hepworth has become an auto read author for me. Her writing style reads fast and is super addictive!

Gabe and Pippa live at the edge of a beautiful cliff, unfortunately, that cliff is a well known suicide location. With two young girls living at home, Pippa worries about the impact seeing these jumpers will have on her daughters, however Gabe is determined to save them all, and so far has had a great track record of talking people off the ledge, until now.

When Pippa realizes that the latest victim to the cliffs edge is Gabes former employers wife, she begins asking a lot of questions she might not like the answers to.

I really enjoyed how this book flipped between Pippa and Amanda's perspective, giving us insight to both womens lives and relationships.

What I loved about this book is once I started reading, I didn't want to stop! However around the halfway point I started to feel like we were just having all kinds of reveals and twists, but they weren't twists that could be figured out on your own since we weren't given any clues, they just felt random. This isn't something I enjoy in a thriller so while enjoyable, this is a three star read for me!

Fast paced; multiple view points and timelines. Very enjoyable read with twist at just the right ime to make you want to read more. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and found it very entertaining.

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth follows married couple Pippa and Gabe in the aftermath of a suicide on the cliffs behind their home. Pippa and Gabe have lived in their cliffside home for just a year when a woman jumps to her death; Previously Gabe had been able to save seven other people from jumping off the cliff and was becoming well known in the community. When Pippa realizes who the woman was, she begins to wonder if she truly jumped.
This book is told from Pippa's and Amanda's, the woman who jumps, points of view. It also jumps between between Pippa's "then" and "now" storylines and Amanda's "before" and "after" storylines. I don't usually mind jumps in timelines and character's perspectives, however the chapters were so short here that at first my head was spinning with the jumping around. I did get used to the jumps after a few chapters, but I did feel that chapters that ended abruptly only to pick right up 10-15 pages later could have just been longer chapters. Other than this formatting, I really had no other dislikes with this book. The story was fast paced and engrossing, and the characters were well written and engaging.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of The Soulmate in exchange for my honest review.

Obsessed with this author. All her latest works are gold. This book is no exception. It’s captivating and her storytelling keeps you asking more and more. She draws you in and then you realize you’ve been reading for hours because you just have to know what the twist is.

Loved the suspense. Loved the small twists and added details as we read along. I enjoyed all the dif povs.

Rave worthy book.

I think this authors writing style just sadly isn't for me. I really wanted to like this one but it felt like I have read it before. Thank you again for the copy.

Sally Hepworth's latest thriller promises all the twists and turns readers have come to expect from the queen of domestic suspense. The Soulmate is a story about the perfect couple, Gabe and Pippa, living in their perfect home. Until they Pippa finds out Gabe knew a woman who died. There are some questions surrounding her death, was it an accident? Was it a suicide? Pippa begins to question everything she thought she knew about Gabe... This book is a crazy ride and Sally Hepworth's fans won't be disappointed by her latest! If you've been thinking about grabbing one of her books-- let it be this one. Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book! It was interesting and kept my attention from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat. I had been in a reading slump and this book helped me get out of it. Great read as always!

4.25. This was my first book by Sally Hepworth and now I’m very excited for more! This book sucked me in right away. I love books that don’t need much build up to hook you and this one grabbed me in the first chapter. This book was fast paced and twisty. Every time I put it down I immediately wanted to dive back in. The problem for me was the ending. It just wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t feel like it quite matched the rest of the book, it was too clean and light.

Sally Hepworth's books keep getting better and better. This time her story is based on a couple who is living on a majestic ocean cliff which is also unfortunately famous for suicide attempts. While the ocean view is fabulous the suicide hotspot is causing them lots of problems. This couple with the picture perfect husband and the enviable lifestyle start to reveal their secrets and issues. I found this tale to be very engrossing and hard to put down. Sally Hepworth always throws in a twist or two, and yet again this book had one I never expected. If you are a fan of "Big Little Lies" this book is definitely in that vein. A great read for 2023. Thank you #Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Soulmate is the story of a married couple who moves to a cottage on a cliff. The cliff is known in the town as a place where people come to commit suicide. Gabe has taken upon himself to save these people and has been successful until one night he is unable to save someone. Pippa (his wife) realizes that Gabe knew this person and their story begins to unravel.

Sally Hepworth has written another compelling book where you don't want to stop reading. Throughout the entire book I was guessing what happened and who was at fault. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good thriller.

Wow what a ride! Thank you for the opportunity to read this one, I really enjoyed it! Initially I didn’t like Pippa but I came around to her by the end. I loved the multiple storylines- it kept me so interested the whole time. It was a really twisty thriller so if that’s your thing I recommend this one!

Sally Hepworth does not miss! I cancelled my plans to finish this one. The plot twists!!! There’s so many and they’re SO good. So entertaining and well written.

This was SO good. I’m going to need to go through the author’s backlog now because I really loved how twisty this was. A hit for sure!
