Thank you Netgalley, Sally Hepworth and the publisher for the ARC. This allowed me to read my first book from Sally Hepworth. I loved the twists and the energy from the story. I really enjoyed the style of writing. The story line flowed in a way to keep me interested and not get lost. A great read.

This story is much more than a mystery. It’s a look inside the minds of these characters. The strong emotions of married women and the need to protect is undeniable. I found this book easy to follow and enough twists to keep me glued to the plot. I loved it!

Loyalty, love, and secrets live amongst the beautiful yet notable cliff as Pippa and Gabe test boundaries within their marriage. The Soulmate is a novel that will entice the reader as the web of possibilities weave as deep as the cliffs stand tall.

Thank you for providing me with an ARC of The Soulmate. I found this book to be fast paced, extremely readable, and full of surprises. The exploration of the relationships of the 2 main couples in the story and how they intersected was fascinating. I felt extremely sorry for these characters as much as I felt repelled by them. A fun read!

Awesome story! The ending was a bit abrupt but I enjoyed the plot. I didn't expect the women to come together at the end but it was a nice twist.

This book grabs you from the very first page!!! So hold on tight you are in for a hell of a ride!!

Pipa and Gabe move to a cliff side cottage, with a cliff nearly in their backyard called The Drop where people come to end their lives. Gabe has become locally know for stopping people from jumping to their deaths with one exception Amanda... Here is where all the twist begin.

I was on the edge of my seat reading this book but the ending completely blew my mind but also brought tears to my eyes.

The Soulmate is scheduled to be published April 4, 2023. Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the privilege of reading this advanced copy!!!

Sally Hepworth never disappoints! I knew going in this would be a great read. I was hooked from the first chapter and could not put it down! Thank you so much for the advanced copy!

4.5 ⭐WOW, This book had some interesting twists. This story has it all!!! I will definitely be thinking about this one for awhile!
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

This book has everything, rug sweeping, adultery and murder. Great writing unique characters and suspenseful writing and engaging story.A great read.

I do not rate a lot of books with four stars. But, this book was spectacular. So many unexpected twists and turns kept me engaged and guessing the entire book. Sally Hepworth knows what she is doing. Just when I thought I had the main character figured out, I was wrong.

I just LOVE how Sally Hepworth writes and the stories she creates. Gabe and Pippa lived in a beautiful home on a cliff- but not just any cliff- a location many go to when they want to end their life. After they moved in, when they would see someone out there, Gabe would try to save them, which he did for so many until Amanda arrives and everything changes. Amanda is the wife of Gabe's ex-boss Max & this fact will be kept hidden from Pippa, the police and so many others. SO Good. You will get sucked in to the secrets, betrayal, and love.

Sally Hepworth's best book yet! Everything about it was pitch perfect, from the structure to the plotting to the characterisation and the atmosphere. Wonderfully twisty, pacey and unique, The Soulmate is the perfect suspense/thriller.

Gabe and Pippa Gerard have moved into their dream house, but it soon turns out their dream house is located by a cliff that's also the local suicide spot. Gabe saves person after person, until one night, he doesn't. Except what really happened? Did the woman really jump? Or was she pushed?

Utterly ingenious and completely gripping, this one shines!

Gabe and Pippa buy a house on a cliff where people tend to go to commit suicide. Gabe has an uncanny gift to talk them off the cliff. Until one slips through the cracks. Is it an accident?

This novel is a quick and easy read. I enjoyed the writing and didn’t find there to be a lot of word salad or unnecessary details. There were a few moments I audibly “gasped” but ultimately the ending/ “twist” wasn’t very exciting for me just left me feeling meh. I also wouldn’t say this is a thriller. More like a domestic mystery.

I will say, however, if you just need an easy beach read or something to entertain you on a flight, this would be a good novel to pickup. 3.75 Stars

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book had some interesting twists. It left me with a pit in my stomach. Not a comfortable read, but points for creating those feelings.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

I like Sally Hepworth's work and this novel was no exception. The story opens with Pippa and Gabe seeing a woman outside their cliffside home, standing at what is referred to as The Drop. The story then unfolds with present day and flashbacks for the backstory. The unique marriages of both Pippa and Gabe and Max and Amanda reveal the depths that people will go to for love and loyalty. Gabe's mental health spiral is addressed in a poignant way and the toll this takes on his loved ones is beautifully written. The twists at the end of the story helped to explain a lot.

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

Sally Hepworth has become an auto read for me!! She delivers a fantastic, fresh story with relatable characters every time. I usually cannot predict the ending. There is always a surprise and this book was no different!
Synopsis: On the outside, Pippa and Gabe have a fairy tale marriage with two adorable daughters. Pippa is the breadwinner, Gabe is know for saving people from jumping off the cliff by their seaside home. One day, Gabe's ex boss's wife shows up at their Cliffside home and falls to her death. Was she pushed? Was she suicidal? Suddenly Pippa's world comes crashing down. Max, the ex- boss, wants answers about his wife and what happened to her USB drive that had secretive information that could implement Gabe and Max. Fast paced and exciting until the end!
Thank you Net Galley for this ARC!
4/ 5 Stars!! ✨️✨️✨️✨️

Sally Hepworth does it again! Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty & Alice Feeney, this twisty domestic suspense novel explores the complexities of marriage, love, and loyalty, while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Pippa & Gabe live in a picturesque home situated near a cliff, infamously dubbed as “the drop,” an ominously popular suicide spot. Gabe has saved numerous lives there, but he can’t save Amanda. Was Amanda’s death truly a suicide, or was something darker at play? Following the POVs of Pippa and Amanda & jumping back and forth through time, Hepworth delivers a captivating page turner that’s sure to be one of spring’s most anticipated reads!

Thank you to NetGalley & St. Martin’s Press for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for an honest review!

First of all.. look at this cover 🤩 if a book has a pretty cover, I’m sold! Sally Hepworth is an auto buy author for me, so I was even more excited for the story inside.

Gabe and Pippa recently moved into a beautiful seaside home with their two young daughters. The only downside is the drastic cliff behind the home that draws in individuals contemplating suicide. Gabe has a way of connecting with others and aiding them in rethinking their decision. Until one day, Amanda jumps. Or does she?

What I liked:
✨The short chapters kept me interested and made for a quick read
✨I enjoyed the viewpoints of Pippa and Amanda and thought they worked well with a dual timeline

What I didn’t like:
✨I didn’t quite like all of the characters 🤨
✨ Something felt off for me.. I listened to The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law on audiobook and am wondering if I would have preferred this one in the same format

I definitely recommend checking this one out if you’ve enjoyed her others!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC!

Publication date is April 4, 2023.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc. This review is wholly my own.

Does Sally Hepworth ever let us down? She sure didn't with The Soulmate.

Pippa & Gabe live close to a cliff known for jumping suicides. Gabe takes it upon himself to save the jumpers and stop the suicides until there is one he can't stop and now Pippa wonders if he just couldn't save the person or if Gabe may have pushed them.

A very twisty page turner. Devote your day to reading this one because you will not want to put it down. If you want a thriller that is actually thrilling, well-written with major plot twists, RUN to get this one when it hits the shelves in April 2023!

Wow. What a ride. This is my 2nd Sally Hepworth book as of recent, and she is quickly turning into one of my favorite authors. I loved this book, kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and it is a quick, fast-paced read. I enjoyed the twists and turns this book took me on. Told from dual timelines and dual perspectives, with quick chapters, it was hard for me to put down.

What I didn't like:
- (I personally don't mind this) but there is some Australian slang/I am not familiar geographically with Australia
- I think it would have been interesting to have the point of view from a couple of the other characters

Synopsis: Pippa and Gabe moved to a new house in hopes of a fresh start. Their new house is more than they thought they could afford, but it did come with a price that was not monetary. They live next to a common suicide site - "The Drop". Gabe has been getting publicity for his ability to talk people down from jumping, until someone comes along who goes off the cliff. Secrets begin to unfold that Gabe and Pippa actually have a connection with this person, and it is deeper and more secretive than we are lead on to believe. Wanting to protect her kids at all costs, Pippa begins to learn some additional secrets about Gabe, ones that her family has been noticing for years.
