Sally is one of my very favorite authors and thank you St. Martins Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

This book was so suspenseful and I loved it!

Warning: there is a lot of suicide talk in this book.

Wow! I loved every second of this domestic thriller! This really shouldn't come as a surprise as it featured some of my favorite things: alternating viewpoints, short chapters, and a focus on mental health.

Gabe Gerard has successfully talked several people out of taking their own life at "The Drop," but his reputation begins to shift after his streak ends. Alternating between the viewpoints of the newly-deceased Amanda and Gabe's wife Pippa, The Soulmate delivers plenty of twists and turns to keep readers frantically turning the page.

Many thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love Sally Hepworth! I actually just started reading her books this year and I have torn through every title so far—including this one. I read it in less than a day.

Gabe and Pippa move into their cozy little cottage. But apparently it borders on a well known cliff where people end their lives. But Gabe has been successfully talking people out of doing that and has become somewhat of a hero in the town.

But one night, another person comes to the cliff and Gabe cannot talk her out of jumping. And so we have the story of who Amanda was, her husbands hand in this, what exactly happened on that cliff, and why is Gabe keeping so many secrets from Pippa and the police.

I loved this page turning suspense of a read and the twists that come with it, especially in the end. Every chapter has you wondering if she really jumped or was she pushed. Gabe is more involved than you can imagine. Great book. #fourstars #netgalley

This was a very good book It had many twits an turns I read it in two day Than’ you to the publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read it and give an honest review

Wow, what a read! I was able to finish this book in less than 24 hours. This had such great bones, fleshed out characters, and unexpected plot twists. Also, well written and does a great job with touching darker subjects. I could go into more of the synopsis from the blurb. But I am truly at a loss for words. This book was one that will stick with you for a while!

What I enjoyed:
- fast paced! This was really easy to get sucked into. I started this book before bed and I couldn’t put it till down 3 hours later.
- Dual POVs and time lines. This definitely kept the pages turning for me. I needed to know more each chapter!
- The twist at the end was very much unexpected

I really also enjoyed the fact that this didn’t read like your typical thriller. This felt very realistic and not too far fetched. I felt like a lot of the plot was believable. I also really liked Pippa, and I was rooting for her the whole time. Also, both of her daughters were darling. Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I am definitely checking out the authors other books. 4 stars out of 5. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thanks @netgalley for read number 107 of 2022 (released in April 2023). I love @sallyhepworth’s books, and this one is no exception. While it was a little slower at first, the book kept me interested with so many plot twists. I anticipated some, but not others. There might have been some far-fetched elements to this novel, but I really enjoyed it just the same. @sallyhepworth even made me cry at the end. Never did I expect characters that I cared about so much. This was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read in my books.

Unexpected twists and riveting turns all the way to the very end! I devoured Sally Hepworth’s The Soulmate and did not want to stop reading until I finished this breathtaking book.

This mystery / thriller pulled me in from the beginning and held me enthralled as the story of two women builds layer by layer moving seamlessly between present and past. When you go a step forward, Hepworth takes you back a step to show you a more comprehensive view - and often from someone else’s perspective. Hepworth’s omnipresent narrator reveals background, emotion, and scenario, interweaving the storylines skillfully together. What we think we know becomes something else entirely by the time we reach the dramatic ending.

Hepworth deftly builds the characters, the intriguing plot and the coastal Australian setting into an excellent novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this thrilling ARC.

Pippa Gerard puts up with a lot. Her husband's inability to hold down a job, his constant mood swings, and the discovery that he has an illegitimate daughter from an affair with a waitress. This would send most people packing, but Pippa sticks by her husband as he gets a new job with a startup and soon is promoted to Director of Investor relations. He seems to be settling down and they decide to move to a house in the suburbs of Melbourne near the ocean overlooking a cliff. This cliff is infamously called 'The Drop' because of the propensity for people to jump off the cliff to their deaths. Gabe becomes an expert at talking people off the cliff until one night he can't. Pippa finds out he knows the victim, and the book then alternates between Pippa's story, and the voice of Amanda, the woman who jumped off the cliff. Or did she? Pippa starts to question her husbands involvement, and things pick up quickly from there. It's a bit predictable since you know something is not right with Gabe, but he hides his secrets with his good looks and boyish charms. His secrets are soon revealed, and the relationships between Amanda, Gabe, and Amanda's husband become clear. Did Gabe have a motive to kill Amanda? What is the relationship between Max and Gabe? There are some great twists at the end that I did not see coming and that explain Max's behavior and Amanda's. In the end the truth comes out and we see why several lives are destroyed. This kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat wanting to find out what really happened. This is my first Sally Hepworth book and I'll definitely be back for more!

I love Sally Hepworth and she’s quickly become a favorite author. The Soulmate was a fast read that I really enjoyed. The story involves the relationship between Gabe and Pippa who have moved their family to a location that is an unfortunate spot to live, a spot that many choose as a suicide jump spot due to the cliffs.

Gabe earns a reputation as someone who can talk down many of the jumpers, until one.

The story unfolds in short chapters, each one unveiling surprises that kept propelling the reader forward in shock. I highly recommend it for fans of mystery, domestic thrillers, and suspense. I look forward to more from Hepworth!

I get so excited when I see that Sally Hepworth has a new book out, and this was no exception! I picked up the Soulmate and couldn’t put it down! Another twisty, turny book from one of my favourite authors. Great characters, great setting, great twist!

Love @sallyhepworth, and this book was such an anticipated read for me. Thanks to @netgalley for the advanced read! Life stopped so I could read this in less than 24hrs, but didn't want it to end. Dual point of views, domestic suspense and twists galore!! Plus...the gorgeous cover?! She gets me every single time.

I have read many of this authors books, this was probably my least favorite. The book was mainly told from 2 points of view, and was a now and then story too. I felt a lot of it was based on misguided ideas about what to expect in a marriage, and how far you are willing to let things go in the name of love. Two families are inter connected, although that is not apparent at first. Many mistakes are made. If mental illness is a trigger for anyone, this book is full of it. Family members try to be supportive, and yet no one really takes the bull by the horns and talks about the elephant in the room. If you are expecting this book to be a thriller, or to have many surprising twists to it, don't. They just aren't there. Sure, there are secrets, but reactions to them just don't make the cut.

I LOVED this one! I would say a bit more mystery than thriller, but 100% fast and fun! I read this over a weekend and had to keep making time to read to see how the story played out.
When a woman falls to her death, the police can’t determine if it was a suicide or homicide. The story goes back and forth in time and changes perspectives as it builds up to the moment she died.
I LOVE Hepworth!
I received this book from the publisher for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s for this advanced copy. My opinions are my own.

Sally Hepworth is such a great story teller. Everything is always laid out so well and wrapped up so beautifully at the end.
I read this in two days because things just kept coming up and keeping me hanging on. I just couldn’t put it down. These characters were so wild I really didn’t know what anyone would do next. Which is pretty great. Books aren’t as fun to read when the characters become predictable, and these were not at all.

I will definitely urge my friends to read this.

Thank you for the advanced copy read of The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

Whew. DEFINITELY WORTH THE HYPE. I finished this in one day, because I could not put it down! The twist had my jaw on the floor! Short chapters, check. Incredible plot, check. Surprising twist, check check. A great all around read. This is definitely one to look out for when it’s published in April!

I love the cover of this book and was super thrilled to get right into the story. The main characters live right near a cliff that is a known spot for people to visit when they want to end their lives. The book revolves around what happens this one night when a woman jumps.

The excitement and thrills are as good as other Hepworth books! In fact, I think I have discovered my favorite with this one. I always love a story that includes adoption and that theme was present.

Marriage is often a full time job and with mental health and illnesses it can be overtime. The author does a great job touching on these subjects in a valuable way.

I’m letting friends and family know all about this book so they can read it when it’s out. Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read a fast paced thriller!

Thank you @stmartinspress and Net Galley for the eARC of The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth.

Hepworth is an auto buy author for me so I was so excited to received this ARC! Although this isn't my favorite Hepworth read; it's still solid!

Gabe and Pippa live near a cliff that is famous for suicides. Gabe; however, is known as the "suicide whisperer" as he has saved several people from jumping to their death. But now,Amanda; who just happens to be Gabe's bosses wife, has come to the cliff and Gabe can't save her. Pippa knows what she saw; she becomes suspicious of her husband Gabe and isn't so sure that Amanda's death was accidental or suicide.

From there, things start to unravel and secrets are exposed. Turns out; these four people are connected in ways that they didn't know. More is revealed in each chapter!

This one is a page turner and a quick read. However, something about the ending wasn't satisfying to me. I'd still recommend this one as this author is great at building suspense and keeping the reader in the dark until the end.

Overall, a great read! The Soulmate releases on 4/4/23

Another fantastic thriller by Sally Hepworth! She is a must read for me and in this novel, Hepworth explores all the different layers to a marriage. This is a story of trust and fidelity and it is full of plot twists! I enjoyed the two narrators, as well as the way Hepworth jumped back and forth between them. I will continue to let Hepworth sweep me away with her stories! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Sally Hepworth has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Her easy writing style and short chapters with multiple plot twists made this book so enjoyable!
