How well do you really know your significant other? Pippa and Gabe felt they had found their soul mates in each other. Having moved to a gorgeous home on the cliff to only discover the cliff is a popular place to end one's life. When a woman goes over the cliff and Pippa finds out Gabe knew the victim, she goes on an intense search to find out how he knew her and did he push her over the cliff? Pippa's world begins to crumble and everything she thought she had is gone. This is a great edge of your seat book that keeps you turning the pages.

I enjoy Sally Hepworth’s books and this was also an enjoyable read. It was fast paced and the story moved along. It did have a bit of the element that I despise in books … making female characters “stupid”. The main character here was honestly a bit stupid, but it was more forgivable. I didn’t enjoy the ending as much … it felt a bit unfinished, but still a very good read.

This review was also published on Goodreads.

A cliffhanger read, involving an infamous suicide cliff and a man who has been known to talk folks down from the edge. This story weaves in family secrets and threads of mental illness found in families.

This was such a fun, twisty book that I absolutely flew through. It had the tension and pace of a thriller, and the mystery definitely kept me engaged, but what I really loved was the story of each of the two women’s lives and their marriages. I loved the way the book explored love and marriage and how it affected each of the main characters.

This was my first book read in 2023 and it was such a fun way to start the year. Will it be a favorite? Probably not, but it was entertaining, fun and I really loved it.

Read this book in one day. It was so good I couldn’t put it down. First book I read by her and now I want to read all her books! Definitely a five star read for me

Released in Australia last fall, Sally Hepworth's new book does not release in North America until April 4, 2023. This book starts with a bang when a woman is pushed/fell/juumped off a cliff behind the home of Pippa and Gabe. As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, and it becomes clear that there is more than meets the eye.

I went into this book blind, which always makes for a more intriguing read. I was not disappointed with this domestic suspense mystery as it deals with many complex subjects that I will not reveal here (spoiler.)

Told from two different points of view. One is current day Pippa as she recalls her life with Gabe, her soulmate, how they met, and the story of their relationship is revealed. The other is from the woman who met her demise on that cliff, which was a unique viewpoint that gave a wider view as to what was going on.

The Soulmate is a story of family, past hurts, and secrets. It was intricately woven with some surprises along the way. It also had an unexpected ending that kept me on my toes. Hats off to Sally Hepworth for crafting such an engaging and captivating read.

My thanks to St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I live Sally Hepworth’s books—they are always full of domestic intrigue, exploring different (dysfunctional) relationships: sisters, in-laws, parents—and this one between husband and wife. What does it mean to be loyal above all else? What happens when a wife sees her husband do something but isn’t sure what it means? With lots of twists & different POVs, this story is a take on marriage and what it means to be someone’s soulmate.

Gabe and Pippa have purchased their dream home by the sea. Unfortunately, their backyard has been labeled "The Drop" because of the many suicide attempts. Gabe has been able to talk down all of them except one.

Did he know the person? He told the police he didn't. Did he push them. Again - said he did not.

What is the relationship with Gabe and Pippa to Amanda and Max, his former boss.

A story with lots of twists and turns that had me finishing this book in one day. I love all of Sally Hepworth's books, and this may be one of my favorites - I highly recommend it!

You can trust Sally Hepworth to write a good novel. This one was good with more twists and turns in the plot than I expected. It’s a bit of a mind-bending read. Don’t get lost. Just go along for a mysterious ride.

What a brilliant book. Throughout the entire thing, I was left wanting more to the point I couldn’t put it down. And then at the end! I was, to simply put it, wowed. I will definitely be looking for my by this author. She had a way with words like no one else I have read before!

First off please add this thriller to your future TBR list you will not be disappointed. I find a lot of times it takes me a few chapters to get hooked to a book but not this one. I loved the short chapters and switch between characters. This book kept me guessing til the very end! Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC! Pub Date: April 4th 2023

The Soulmate 📚 by @sallyhepworth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so good! Gabe & Pippa buy a house with a gorgeous view on a cliff. Little do they know it is a popular spot where people commit suicide. Gabe having struggled with his own mental health issues finds purpose in helping the people who come to the cliff and is recognized as a small town hero. Until one day, a woman jumps and he couldn't help save her. Gabe proves to not be a reliable character with a dark past, so the reader is left guessing did the girl jump or did Gabe push her? The story unfolds with twists you don't see coming. A must read! Sally Hepworth's best book yet!

Suspenseful thriller that keeps you guessing. Told from 4 different POV's (2 different couples), The pacing of this book was well done, tidbits are parceled out in due time, and we learn that love can't save everyone, or fix their demons.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

I loved this book, it was everything I look for in a thriller. The Soulmate is a domestic thriller centered around two couples. I don’t want to give too much away but it starts with a woman falling off a cliff. The story follows two couples and how their lives intertwine. The book was fast paced and I didn’t see the last twist coming. This was my first by Sally Hepworth and I will definitely be adding the rest of her books to my list. Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin’s press for sending me this to review.

Thank you SMP for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Oh, SMP, our NetGalley beef continues. Unfortunately, this wasn't for me. 5 stars for DNF as I cannot comment on the overall quality of the book.

This book starts out with a loving family, it could be a romance novel. But what quickly unfolds is a tale about how loving someone sometimes doesn’t make their demons disappear.
This was a page turner that I couldn’t put down (even if I had to occasionally while I was at work lest I get fired for reading on the job).

I love Sally typically - unfortunately, this book didn't hit the mark for me. From Gabe's portrayal to the "shady business" aspects to staying by your husband thru whatever, it just didn't hit for me. Overall, it was still an enjoyable read! Just not quite on par with her other books I've read.

The Soulmate is a suspenseful thriller that keeps you turning the pages. So many twists and turns and an ending I didn't see coming. Great read!

This story was very well planned out. We are introduced to Amanda & Gabe at the very start of this story and then slowly the story unravels. From mental illness, to love at first sight, and also relationship & personal compromises - this book has it all! It took many turns I didn't anticipate and in the end, I was happy with everybody ending up exactly where they needed to be in order to call it a "happy ending". That is hard to do in a way where the reader feels at peace with it.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC of The Soulmate!
I LOVE Sally Hepworth, I have read a couple of her books and she is a phenomenal author.
I found the Soulmate to be nothing short of amazing. Any book that includes a cozy little cottage in the middle of nowhere steals by heart every time. Pins and needles the whole time! Loved this thriller!
