5 starts.
Thanks to NetGalley St. Martin’s Press and Sally Hepworth for sharing this book

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
I'm a huge fan of Sally Hepworth and absolutely loved The Good Sister and The Younger Wife. Her style of writing is addicting and I devour her books in a day!
The Soulmate was twisty, dark, and heartbreaking! Another well-written and fast-paced psychological thriller! I enjoyed Pippa and Gabe. I also enjoyed the alternating perspectives between Pippa and Amanda.
Such a fun read! Highly recommend this thriller and all of Sally Hepworth's books!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat so much that I read the entire book in one sitting.
Pippa and Gabe live at a common suicide cliff spot. Gabe has helped many decide not to jump, but not this time. This book really gets into the baggage of Pippa, Gabe, Amanda and Max as the truth about Amanda's death unfolds. It jumps between past and present. I liked that we got a bit of 3rd party perspective of Amanda's view of current events from the grave.
I liked the pace and attention to details in each character's life. This gave the appropriate amount of character depth mixed with a comprehensive plot. This book takes you to the edge of the cliff and has you there until the very end.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

Enjoyed this, but didn't fully come together for me. Started off strong and with solid suspense but kind of petered out towards the end. I didn't really enjoy the twists, and none of the characters were very likable.

Received as an ARC. Thank you to Sally Hepworth and the publishers.
This book was a fast-paced read full of twists and turns. However, some of the twists, especially near the end, felt contrived. If they had not existed, this would have been a 5 star read for me. I am also upset that no one in this book loses at the end. The ending felt too neatly wrapped up, rather than messy in the way it should have been.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me wanted to read it and I looked forward to picking it up. I would have given 5 stars but the twist at the end wasn’t a wow factor for me.

I am so embarrassingly behind on my galleys that I went ahead and purchased the audio of this one and swapped back and forth. I loved them both! A twisty, fast-paced read. I particularly loved how the The Spot was described. It had me stresssed!

A mysterious thriller with dual POV's and Now and Then.
Pippa and Gabe have found their family, themselves and 2 young children, their dream home with a dream view! It's a cute and cozy cottage near the cliff above the rocky and wave crashing ocean below. They learn the path behind their house has what's called "the Drop", a jumping point for suicide. Gabe has a talent with his soothing voice and demeanor words to change their minds. Until one day a woman jumped, or did Pippa just see Gabe, with arms stretched out push her? But he wouldn't do that or is she wrong?
It's declared a suicide, but this whole thing is still eating at Pippa. She then reads the story in the newspaper, sees her name, and pieces start falling into pieces. This involves secrets, betrayals, and twists for the remainder of the book. It did keep me on my toes making it hard to put down.
Thank you St. Martins Press for allowing me to read this through NetGalley.

This book is categorized as a thriller and suspense.
It’s filled with a seemingly perfect marriage on the outside, but behind closed doors there’s betrayal and lies that soon come to the surface.

wow!!!
I've been in an insane thriller mood lately so I was really excited to read this! the synopsis is so intriguing and I was hooked from the very start. I couldn't put this down it was incredible. loved the characters and the writing and wow the twists? did not see them coming. sooo good!

The intersecting stories and the different reveals throughout this novel made this a great read. I love that you think you have an understanding of the story from the beginning but each new reveal brings it's own nuances and you are left wondering if your assumption was correct. I am very much looking forward to reading more books from Sally Hepworth in the future.

This was my first Sally Hepworth novel and I have to say that I really enjoyed the overall style of her writing. It was easy to read but sadly I never truly felt invested in the story and it took me a while to get through it. This is why I’m giving it a solid three stars.
This was a story of a couple, Pippa and Gabe, who have two young children and they reside in a lovely seaside home. The only downfall of this seaside home ( no pun intended) is that the house is located on a cliff that is infamous for suicide attempts. Gabe has talked many people out of jumping off of the cliffs edge except for its most recent victim - Amanda.
Throughout each chapter we alternate POVs between Pippa and Amanda, both from before and after the incident, to determine the truth of what happened on the cliffs edge. I personally felt the perspectives switched back and forth so often it was hard to follow at times. The first half was great - I really wanted to know what happened to Amanda on the cliff but the second half felt dragged out and repetitive. I’m also not sure if I would label this as a “thriller” it felt more like a domestic drama because we are really shown how the other relationships in their lives intertwine and there is a big theme of loyalty vs infidelity. There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming and we do ultimately find out the truth but I was anticipating something a little more thrilling.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

#FirstLine - PIPPA (NOW) “Someone is out there.”
I adored this book! I could not put it down. I was instantly pulled into the story. It was so perfectly plotted. I loved the varied perspectives and the switch in timelines of past and present. I loved that I never knew what was going to happen or how things would come together. This is what kept me burning through the pages and kept me fully engrossed. I also listened to the audiobook version as well. It was well done and perfectly narrated. This story is an A+ 5 star read whether you listen to it or read it, or both!!! A must read!

A straightforward case of suicide at a popular suicide spot, what else is there to tell? So. Much. When Pippa and Gabe moved to their picturesque sea side home they were shocked to discover the frequent amount of visitors hoping to step off of the cliffs. Gabe continues to talk down each visitor until finally one in fact steps over the side. Or did she? Gabe's unpredictable behaviors and questionable past begins to blur Pippa's unyielding faith to Gabe. Can she unravel what really happened on the cliffs before everything she knows unravels before her eyes?
With multiple view points and short chapters, it's impossible to put this one down. While the description addresses some of the trigger/content warnings, I'd recommend checking out the full list.

Really enjoyable read about the people we think we know best. Very atmospheric and fast moving plot with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

The Soulmate is an intense novel involving marriage, betrayal, suicide and secrets that are kept. The novel moves during two time periods- before and after. There are two main characters, Pippa and Amanda, that write from their point of views.
Pippa and her husband Gabe have had a tumultuous marriage often moving from place to place . Gabe has a difficult time maintaining a job, possibly due to undiagnosed issues. Their latest house sits near a cliff where oftentimes, people that are suicidal will come to jump. Gabe has been able to save a number of people by talking them down, until one night someone jumped off the cliff right in front of him. He could not save her.
Amanda is married to Max, who can be kind and generous, but can also be dangerous if you get on the wrong side of him. Amanda is the one that supposedly committed suicide on the cliff as Gabe was supposedly trying to talk her down. As Pippa is looking out the window to see what is occurring with Gabe and the woman on the cliff, she believes she saw him push her over the edge. When Gabe returns home, he gives a different version of what happened. The police are notified and the investigation begins. What really happened on the cliff? What secrets does Gabe hold? What secret does Pippa have? As the police get closer in their investigation, it is discovered that Gabe once worked for Max and he knew who Amanda was.
Twists and turns abound in this fast-paced novel. Who are the soulmates? You will have to read all the way to the end to discover this.
Trigger warnings for suicide and infidelity.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of The Soulmate in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Not a huge thriller fan but I wanted to expand my horizons a little and I think I picked the perfect book! This was a fast, engaging read, and I honestly couldn't put it down! Definitely recommend, especially for people just getting into the genre!

Hepworth again delivers a masterful thriller that will keep you turning the pages until late in the night. This story begins with a happy family of four who are enjoying their evening routine when an unexpected woman appears at the cliff behind their home. Gabe, the husband and father, is developing a name in the folklore of the town as the person who can whisper a suicidal jumper literally away from the ledge. This is no usual woman however and things become complicated immediately when Gabe is unable to stop her from jumping. The plot takes off from there, with multiple POVs and timelines, including one told from the POV of the woman who has died.
A fascinating read with interesting characters and a great plot.
Definitely recommend.

I always enjoy Sally Hepworth's books, as an author she can do very little wrong. Thanks to the publisher for allowing me an advance copy of this book. The Soulmate is about marriage and secrets and protecting the ones you love and is an excellent book. That being said, it isn't my favorite of her books, it didn't absolutely blow me away as some of her others have. The story is propulsive and I always wanted to find out what the truth was and what would happen next. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone and look forward to what she writes in the future.

This was one of my favorite Sally Hepworth books. Very well written and loved the suspense. Kept me guessing!
