Oh I just love the way Hepworth writes! I thoroughly enjoyed this entire book… even the heartbreaking parts! Told from two women’s perspectives and in Then/Now alternating chapters, I just love how the stories weave and are unraveled bit by bit! Sally Hepworth just gets better and better with every book! I can’t wait for her next one!

Gabe and Pippa have just moved into a cozy cliffside cottage with their two adorable and spunky young daughters. What they didn't know before moving in is that the cliff is a popular spot for those wanting commit suicide. One night Gabe talks a man down from the ledge and saves his life. Then he does it again and again. It becomes routine, Pippa calls the cops while Gabe goes outside to talk and listen and help people want to live again. Until one night when there's a women he just can't save. Pippa sees him, arms outstretched, but can't believe he would hurt anyone... cue the twisty thriller!

Told in both dual timelines, revealing what happened before and after that night, and dual POVs of both Pippa and the woman who died, Amanda, The Soulmate keeps you wanting to read more. The pacing is good and there's a few surprises thrown in that I didn't see coming! Read Sally Hepworth for the first time this year and she is quickly becoming one of my favorite thriller writers. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advanced e-copy of this book.

Told in multiple POVs and flashbacks, I was hooked from the beginning. I genuinely had no idea where the plot line was going at any point in time. I thought I knew the characters and all of their arcs took major curves. I felt like that beginning had moments where it drug on, but then the last 40% of the book I flew through needing to know what was to come. The ending was a solid tie of the bow.

I absolutely loved this! Sally Hepworth is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I was completely captivated by this story from beginning to end.

Sally Hepworth's newest book, The Soulmate, is going to be on everyone's TBR pile! Hepworth keeps you guessing about the poor woman who fell to her death and the circumstances surrounding the situation in this one.
After a rough couple of years, Pippa and Gabe find their solace in a beautiful place up on the cliff. Gabe is raising their daughters while Pippa works as a lawyer. It is the perfect balance for them. The only darkness that still hangs over them is the cliff where so many people have fallen to their death. Gabe, however, has become a local hero in saving so many lives. He is able to have a conversation with them and help bring them to safety. But the most recent woman to make her way to the drop gives Pippa an uneasy feeling. Surely Pippa just imagined that it looked like Gabe pushed her. There is no way his hands looked like they shoved her off the cliff. Pippa keeps pushing that thought out of her mind, but it keeps resurfacing again and again. As the days pass and the investigation continues, Pippa can't seem to put her thoughts to rest. More and more keeps coming to light and Pippa can't help to think Gabe might have played a part in this woman's death. Hepworth takes you on an adventure, going back and forth from past to present and let's you bounce between Pippa and Amanda (the woman who died) as the narrators of the chapters. Each chapter is clearly labeled and the time table is set.
I love Sally Hepworth's work so much! I will always be on the lookout for her! She keeps you guessing and engrossed until the final page. I will always recommend her to other readers like myself. Special thanks to NetGalley, Sally Hepworth, and St. Martin's Press for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 5 HUGE stars for me!

This was great!! The suspense honestly kept me going, kept me asking questions and wondering what would happen next. If anything, it made me want to keep an eye out on all of Hepworths future releases. 5/5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley for providing this book for an honest opinion. This book had so many twists and turns that it was hard to put down. The storyline was unique and I wanted to keep reading and reading. Obviously, we know that they was a story about the woman who jumped from the cliff, we just didn't know what it was. The story was told from alternate characters and timelines. It was written nicely to keep you hooked until the very end.

Leave it to Sally Hepworth to write one of the more creative thrillers I’ve read in a while. The Soulmate was creative and had me hooked from the first chapter. The alternating view points of Pippa and Amanda was well done.

Gabe is known in his small town as a hero for being able to convince people to not end their lives by jumping off the cliff behind his house. He has saved many lives, until he doesn’t. A woman jumps to end her life. Police rule it a suicide at first before they realize the case may not be as simple as it seems.

Sally Hepworth is a must read author and will not disappoint with The Soulmate.

Ok, Sally is an auto buy, auto pick up, auto request for me. I’ve been reading her novels since 2016 and watched how she’s grown her writing from ‘𝘒𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘹 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘺’ fiction to fast paced domestic thrillers. And this one was No difft. ⁣
⁣
With short chapters, The Soulmate is easily bingeable. It’s a story about a couple who live on a cliff side. A place of beautiful sunsets and gorgeous views but with the darkest of secrets because it’s also the place where people come to end their lives. ⁣
⁣
One day Pippa is at the window looking out back when she sees a woman wandering the steep cliffs so she sends her husband Gabe outside to talk to her. That on its own is not abnormal, Gabe has a gift of calming others down and has done it before. ⁣
⁣
With a brief second of Pippa looking away, the stranger and her husband go from talking to him looking over the edge. What happened in the moments between is what the reader will discover between the flash backs (and multiple MC voices) . ⁣

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for my Kindle.
I have read all of the author's books and enjoyed them all. This one was a twisty, suspense novel that didn't disappoint me.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the early copy of Sally Hepworth’s newest novel.
I became a Hepworth fan fairly recently when I picked up The Good Sister, and was thus very excited to get a chance to read The Soulmate. The storyline wasted no time catching my interest, and kept a good pace throughout.
Gabe and Amanda recently purchased their dream home, a cottage near a cliff, which unfortunately is a frequented place for suicide. It becomes Gabe’s mission to talk people off of the ledge, until one night he is unsuccessful. As the investigation progresses, it turns out the woman not a random person, after all, and Gabe may have something to hide.
The alternating point of views between Pippa and Amanda gave interesting perspective and helped with strong character development. The Soulmate kept me guessing until the end, and I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a good domestic murder-thriller.

The Soulmate is a thrilling and suspenseful novel about the lies and secrets that can take root and grow in a marriage. Sally Hepworth does a beautiful job painting the image of a picturesque seaside town where Gabe and Pippa reside. However the home is also located in a spot known for others coming to end their life. After Gabe is with someone on the night of their jump from the nearby cliff, questions arise on how Gabe previously knew this person. The perfect amount of suspense in this book!

At the beginning, Gabe and Pippa seem like the ideal couple. They even have a perfect “meet cute” story. As we read on, we find out that things are far from perfect.

There were so many unexpected twists here. Honestly, there may have been a bit too much drama for my liking. Also, I’m not sure how I felt about the ending.

That being said, I think readers will be drawn to the short chapters and many twists and turns the story takes. This was a fast-paced, suspenseful novel!

Awesome! Full of intrigue. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. Loved this author!

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

Gabe and Pippa move into their dream house outside Melbourne with their two daughters. The house hides something sinister - The Spot. Its tall cliffs have become a popular spot for those wishing to end their lives. Gabe tries to talk a female from the ledge but failed and her death was ruled a suicide. She said she jumped because her husband was cheating, but it turns out that Gabe knew who she was. This is when Pippa starts to have questions. Secrets unravel as she begins to discover the truth.

I love Sally Hepworth, so I was thrilled to get an ARC for this. This twisty domestic suspense novel shows the good and bad sides of marriage and that nothing is ever as it seems. There were a lot of twists throughout - some I saw coming and some took me off guard. I enjoyed this ARC and would recommend it to other suspense lovers.

Absolutely fantastic! I was so invested in Gabe and Pippa's and Max and Amanda's stories and secrets.

Sally Hepworth continues to write complex, layered and intriguing characters whose stories I need to know. She is among the best and this book is among HER best. I could....not....put....it....down.

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy. It is my pleasure to write an honest review,

My first ebook ever. Not sure why it took me so long, but I am glad I jumped in. Sally Hepworth only writes bingeable books and this one kept me flipping the pages.

I know a book is good when I think about it all day at work and am more excited to read at night than I am for dinner (I love food). I also love a book that has some aspects of real life marital issues. Marriage looks so different for every person so I find it wildly fascinating to read about marital problems- especially fictional ones that involve murder.

This was equal parts sad romance as it was a domestic thriller. Alternating POV, short chapters, and attention- grabbing, this book is guaranteed to keep your interest until the last page.

I am still thinking about the ending.

Gabe and Pippa live in a seaside cottage with two adorable little girls. Sounds like a dream, but all is not as it seems. Their house lies not far from a cliff. A cliff that is well known as a suicide spot. It is also well known that Gabe has saved many people from jumping. Over and over again he is somehow able to talk people down. Until now. Late one night they see a woman approach the cliff. Like usual Gabe goes out to meet her, but this time the unthinkable happens.

I really enjoyed the opening. It was intense and had an eerie quality but The Soulmate is a domestic suspense novel. There are no major twists and turns. Rather the story focuses on the characters and really delves into their strengths and weaknesses. Their mistakes and their goals. You follow along the ups and downs of two marriages and gain insights into their lives. There is always an unsettling feeling as you wait for something bad to happen, even as it's slowly revealed that plenty has already happened in these characters' lives.

The chapters are divided into before and after the incident and are clearly labeled. And we get two narrators, Pippa and Amanda, the woman at the cliff. I found myself enjoying Amanda's chapters more but all of the characters are generally unlikable and frustrating.

I was able to get a good sense of where the story was heading and I wasn't that excited for the journey. There was one small twist that I wasn't surprised by that tugged at my heartstrings a little. The Soulmate is rather dark and could have been a depressing read. However, the chapters are short and the writing style is easy and keeps you engaged even if you just want to yell at the characters.

3.5/5 stars

Another great book by Sally Hepworth! I love psychological thrillers and Sally is one of my favorite authors for it.

I loved all the twists in the story and I was surprised by all of them. Did not see them coming at all.

Highly recommend this book!

This was my third or fourth Sally Hepworth book and I've really enjoyed all of her books so far. In this book, Gabe and Pippa are married and live close to a cliff where people are known to commit suicide. One night, a woman from Gabe and Pippa's past commits suicide and there is a lot more under the surface than first appears. This book is told from alternating perspectives of Pippa and Amanda (before and after her death). I really enjoyed and will continue to read this author's books.
