This book is high on my list of favorites for 2023.

I thought throughout the whole book I knew what was happening, but I was wrong. To say that this story grabbed me from the first page and held me captive the whole time would be an understatement.

I thought I had how the book got it's title figured out pretty early on in the story. I would be wrong. I don't think this book is a thriller, as I didn't ever have those intense moments of "oh no, what's going to happen?" but I did have moments where I couldn't stop reading because I needed to know what was going to unfold. I felt edge of my seat throughout most of the story because I needed to know what really happened to Amanda.

5 stars from me, I really enjoyed this one a lot. Definitely not what I was expecting or what I thought I knew was happening. Give this one a shot!

Another amazing story from Sally Hepworth. I couldnt put it down! The characters are well thought out and developed, and the story is addictive. I highly recommend this book to people who love Sally’s other books, and anyone who loves a great thriller!

Another winner from Sally Hepworth. I loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are riveting and the story is addictive. I highly recommend this book to people who love domestic thrillers.

Gabe has talked numerous people down from jumping off the cliff near the backyard of his house. Today is different, he loses a woman to the drop. Turns out, he knows the woman, and his wife Pippa doesn’t know if this is just a coincidence or not.

I really enjoyed the writing and flow of this book. Easy and quick chapters keeping me more than interested. Told in two perspectives, pip both past and present, and Amanda, the woman who died, both past a present. I did find a little confusion in the past stories as the story of pip and gabe was similar to the story of max and Amanda in their meeting and love.

Did gabe play a bigger role in amanadas death, or was it just happenstance she decided to take her own life in front of him

I absolutely LOVED this book! It was my book clubs April pick and I ended up finishing ahead of schedule. I actually really enjoyed the after death timeline. It gave the book a unique perspective, and offered a way to explain details that we wouldn’t be privy to otherwise. As difficult as the mental health aspects were to read, I thought it was very well depicted.

This author has not disappointed me yet! Loved this one. It was fast paced and twisty, just the way I like them! What a great story with all the twists!

I love, love Sally Hepworth and this was no exception. Thrilling and twisty, amazing! My thanks to the publisher and net galley for the advance copy.

This was exactly what I expect to love about a Sally Hepworth thriller, a gripping page turner that instantly captured my attention and grabbed a hold of my the whole way through. I'll definitely be recommending this story over this year and years to come. Fantastic characters I love a good multiple POV story when done well it builds impeccable suspense which Sally Hepworth wrote perfectly. This one is definitely a perfect weekend read for domestic fiction fans.

This was a terrific book with plenty of twists and turns and secrets and intrigue with a little mental illness and an illegitimate child thrown in just for good measure. Reading Sally Hepworth is like taking a break from your personal life to enter the lives of two couples-complete with the complexities they are dealing with. The ending came as the biggest surprise of all to me-I never saw that coming. I highly recommend this book and gratefully thank St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read it.

I found this book surprisingly good, the unraveling of secrets, marriage and push to be the perfect wife. The story line was very thought out and powerfully moving and very relatable. How far can you be pushed in a marriage before you break? This story touches on mental illness, the ups and downs of marriage, add in murder and you have up all night thriller.

Gabe and Pippa live in lovely costal town with their dream home that sits on cliff. However the tall cliffs have become a popular place for people to end their lives. Night after night, Gabe comes to the recuse to talk them out of jumping till one night he does not save a women. His story of what happen that night seems not at all what Pippa saw, something seems off. Who was this woman and what did she say to Gabe? Dark secrets come back that Pippa thought she had long buried. Everything she has protected is exposed and she will have to face to understand how they got here.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for copy of this book for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this domestic drama from Sally Hepworth. I enjoy the dual POV and the mystery of who's side to believe. I also loved the dual timeline, I think that is always an interesting element in a fiction story with thriller like elements.

For an honest review, I received an ARC.

The story was quick and easy to read. The characters move from the city to a cliff-side ocean view home. When someone known is killed, the ex-boyfriend (house owner) becomes the suspect. With a lot of secrets and many missed messages in communication, the story continues to weave.

While it is was not an OMG ending for me, there was a decent twist.

Wow, Sally Hepworth has done it again. I almost read this all in one sitting. What a great exploration of the complications of marriage, especially when mental health is an issue. There were plenty of twists I didn’t see coming and the ending was great. Definitely going to read more Hepworth after this one!

Sally Hepworth is the queen of domestic suspense and The Soulmate definitely fits that bill.

Pippa and Gabe move to a house on a cliff where Gabe becomes famous for talking women off the cliff. But one night he is not successful. As the police investigate, Pippa realizes the woman’s death is connected to Gabe’s former boss, Max.

Sally is so good at making a twisty, suspenseful drama. I gasped a few times but I like that she does not make it unbelievable. I liked the dual POVs of Amanda and Pippa and thought Amanda’s was very creative in driving the story (you’ll have to read to find out why).

There are trigger warnings I’d encourage you to check out before reading.

Gabe and Pippa have two young daughters and recently moved into a beautiful home on a cliff located in a coastal Australian town. The cliff has come to be a notorious spot for people who choose to end their lives by jumping to their death. Gabe has become a sort of hero as he has the unique gift of talking to people and convincing them not to jump.

One night a woman comes to the spot. Gabe approaches to talk her back from the edge and he does not succeed, and the woman jumps to her death. Gabe tells the police that she was distraught over her husband's infidelity. The next day Pippa learns that the deceased woman was the wife of Gabe's boss.

The book is told from alternating points of view, that of Pippa and Amanda (the deceased woman). Each point of view is like peeling an onion with layers upon layers. This story was full of twists and turns and was very entertaining.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy!

<b>Outside, I hear the great crash of the ocean. Gabe always talks about how calming he finds that noise, but I’ve always found it ominous. Tonight, it is the most horrible sound in the world.</b>

Pippa’s husband, Gabe, has been known to save the poor souls attempting to take their lives by jumping off the cliff in their backyard, aka The Drop. Usually he successfully talks them down, but one night, Pippa sees the woman fall from The Drop and Gabe’s hands outstretched toward her. When the identity of the woman is revealed, Pippa isn’t sure she can trust her husband’s account of the events leading up to death after all.

I really loved having Amanda’s POV after she’s dead, and I love how it’s her and Pippa telling the story. Almost every chapter leaves you with a cliffhanger that makes you want to keep reading, the story itself is interesting and complicated, and the ending was kind of cute but also tragic at the same time. Overall, a pretty good thriller!

<b>Goes to show how dangerous it can be, thinking that you know someone.</b>

This was such an interesting story, I read it in one day, in one sitting. It had me totally hooked until the end. I felt like the ending and twist at the end fell a bit flat and didn’t really make sense. I still very much enjoyed this thriller and will definitely be reading this author again

Found this to be very average for the most part but the twists were actually really good. I just wish I connected with the characters more. A few plot holes but overall a good thriller. Would recommend for beginners of the genre.

To say this fell flat would be an understatement. I don’t think I’ll pick up another book by this author.

I also predicted the ending. What I will say is that the setting was a main character forsure.

Unpopular opinion, but I didn’t love this one 😬

For starters, I have & read loved all of Sally’s books! I always enjoy her storylines and writing style.

Much like her other books, I enjoyed the short chapters and the quick read, but I had a really hard time staying engaged. I didn’t care about what happened nor did I really enjoy the storyline. I can’t even count the number of times I started and stopped this one because I just wasn’t interested.

The story is told in multiple POV’s & one of the POV’s just felt off. This is definitely a forgettable book & I have already forgotten a lot of what happened. The twists are good and I did like how it ended, but overall it just wasn’t a favorite of mine.

**I have seen so much great reviews for this one! Definitely recommend giving it a read if it interests you!
