Gabe and Pippa live in their seaside dream home with their two daughters. Gorgeous view, friendly neighbors, with family close by. The only downside - the cliff in their backyard is also known as "The Drop" a popular suicide spot. Over the years they have lived their Gabe has been able to save the people that come to end it all until one night, when someone intertwined with their past, comes their to jump. Did she plan to jump or did something more sinister happen? This is a story of love, marriage, betrayal, and family.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was the perfect mystery/thriller for me! We read the story through 2 separate POVs on different timelines and this really works for the book. The reader gets a peak into the past and present but the 2 main points of view. A little twist, which I didn't guess, so that is always a plus, with great resolution at the end. Not necessarily a happy ending (I'm a sucker for those) but happy enough in its own way. Highly recommend! This was my first read by this author, will definitely look at trying out more from her!

Thank you to Net Galley and St Martin's Press for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for a complimentary copy of this novel! This novel is a mystery thriller and focuses on two couples…Pippa & Gabe and Amanda & Max. We see throughout the novel how their lives intersect, and in some instances, not necessarily in a good way. As we read this novel, we see twist after twist revealed. Secrets and lies come to the surface in this awesomely (is this even a word?), twisty novel!!! 5 STARS!!! I so enjoyed reading this novel! Twists kept popping up when I wasn’t even expecting them!

infidelity, mental health as a plot point, and way too attached and codependent wife
I disliked so many things about this book

Very twisty with surprises ahead. Dont make other plans while reading this book.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Soulmate kept me up all night reading until the satisfying end.
Told from two different characters point of views, but easy to keep straight and wow! So twisted!
Two marriages tangled up in business and family with twisted complications and a suicide cliffhanger to beat it all.
Creative storyline, along with intriguing characters makes for a fantastic book.

Oh goodness that was good.

I wish I could have read this straight through. I wanted to. Gabe and Pippa are married, they live on a house on a cliff. Max and Amanda are married. Someone falls off that cliff. And this book toggles between Then and Now to find what actually happened. Did they jump? Were they pushed? Where is the USB drive? What was actually said on that cliff?

This review will be spoiler free so all I can and will say is nothing is as it seems. This gave me big-time Verity vibes and was completely addicting. I love Sally Hepworth!

This book is so much fun!! The different POVs and timelines of those POVs really made the book even more fun to read in my opinion. I also loved how fast paced it was. Every chapter there was something new revealed that added to the mystery of the situation. I don't really know if I would consider this a thriller though to be honest. I think the switching between timelines kind of takes the reader out of the "edge of your seat" aspect a little bit. Most of the story feels more like a mystery to me. I really did love this book though and I will definitely be reading more from this author!

SH is an author that I always look forward to reading because her stories are quite enjoyable. I was excited to read The Soulmate and it turned out to be pretty good, but it did not “wow” me. It’s a great story with many twists and turns that will leave you clues to help you solve the mystery— she does this very well in all of her books. I think the ending just didn’t give me the shock value I tend to expect. This story is written in alternating POVs between Pippa & Amanda (in the afterlife) who both have their own secrets within their marriages.

I think I’d have to say of the four books that I’ve read by her, here’s how I’d rank em in order of my faves:
1. The Good Sister ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. The Mother In-Law ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
3. The Soulmate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4. The Younger Wife ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I have The Family Next Door on my shelf that I still need to read so I can rank it but she is still an auto-read author for me!

Sally Hepworth never disappoints! Her domestic thrillers always hit the spot for me. This one was no different. Twisty in all the tight ways and kept me guessing and on my toes from start to finish. A solid read.

4 ⭐️ from me!

I was anticipating this story when I saw it on NetGalley to request because I love a good mystery, and the cover caught my eye before I even knew the book's title.

Unfortunately, it fell a little flat for me. There were two dual POVs, Pippa and Amanda. Within those POVs, it would alternate between before and after and now and then. I usually can keep up with timelines like that, but with this story, every time I was in a chapter, I kept thinking, "Okay, when and who am I reading in."

The story also lacked that mystery spark for me personally. I wasn't shocked or excited when any of the "twists" came to light. Although I felt a weak connection to the book, it wasn't underwhelming, and there was no time when I wanted to stop reading the story. The Soulmate is my first book by Sally Hepworth, and I would like to read more by her.

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, for providing an eARC of The Soulmate. This review is being left voluntarily, and all opinions are my own.

This is another winner from Sally Hepworth! The blurb does not even begin to describe the millions of things happening here. There is a twist practically every chapter - I can't remember any other book I have read where I was constantly surprised. I really enjoyed how it starts off with Pippa & Gabe as soulmates in a perfect marriage and then each chapter reveals a little more about their story. The chapters in Amanda's POV made my heart hurt for her. I love how everything ties together in plot lines that don't initially appear to have much to do with each other. Another fantastic element was the atmosphere and the description of The Drop - I could totally imagine this dangerous cliff. And the best characters were 100% the little girls!

Wow! This has some amazing twists and turns. I was enthralled from the moment Pippa glanced out to see the scene at the cliff. Holy heck! That set the atmosphere for me and I couldn’t wait to find out what it was all about.

This has a slow but steady pace. Each chapter introduced me to another piece of the puzzle while oftentimes leaving me with more questions. Each new piece wasn’t always a surprise which only added to my overall amazement when everything was revealed.

While I was never a true fan of any of the characters, there is no denying I couldn’t wait to find out the what, who, and why of it all.

Wow!!! Adds all of Sally Hepworth's backlog to my current TBR!

From the very beginning I had an idea of what I thought was going to happen only to be completely wrong in the end! What starts a a perfect marriage between Pippa and Gabe turns into something so much more. Add in Max and Amanda and you get a whole whirlwind of mystery.

The representation of mental illness is this book I thought was written very well and portrayed real occurrences. It also shows what I women is willing to do when they are "madly" in love with their "soulmate". This book was full of twist, turns and all the suspense.

The story follows Pippa and Gabe as they moved from the city and buy a house in a little coastal town near a infamous site called "The Drop". From there you learned that it is a suicide spot that locals come to and Gabe finds himself trying to save every soul that appears there. Until one day he doesn't.... Thus begins the unraveling of the plot. Was she pushed? Did she jumped? Things start to resurface the more the homicide is investigated. Will everyone make it out or will the secrets of the past finally catch up with both couples. Hepworth does an amazing job of presenting the now and the then pov's,

Highly recommend this read!!

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for letting me read this ARC! I cannot wait for it to debut!

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth was crazy and uncomfortably suspenseful with a growing mystery. Gorgeous men make me nervous and Gabe had it in spades! With a sick dread I couldn’t put it down and I did enjoy it. I’m giving this a 4⭐️. It’s told with many POV and if your interested in the audiobook it was
narrated by Barrie Kreinik and Jessica Douglas-Henry. They were awesome!
Thanks Macmillan Audio and St. Martin’s Press via NetGalley.

So excited to see this is a March BOTM pick! I know when I read a Sally Hepworth book that it will keep me guessing. I love trying to figure it out and the twists and turns the stories take. I couldn’t guess the ending of this novel and it definitely surprised me.
Gabe and Pippa’s life seems perfect - great house, kids, support system and a loving relationship. But as the book goes on we find out about the hidden details in this perfect life.

Great concept for a story, something unraveled along the way though. Thanks to Netgalley for the free copy in exchange for an honest review,

A twisty thriller with a feel-good ending? Um, yes.

Thank you to #netgalley and @stmartinspress for this #fivestar ARC!

Synopsis:
There’s a cottage on a cliff. Gabe and Pippa’s dream home in a sleepy coastal town. But their perfect house hides something sinister. The tall cliffs have become a popular spot for people to end their lives. Night after night Gabe comes to their rescue, literally talking them off the ledge. Until he doesn’t.

When Pippa discovers Gabe knew the victim, the questions spiral...Did the victim jump? Was she pushed? And would Gabe, the love of Pippa’s life, her soulmate...lie? As the perfect facade of their marriage begins to crack, the deepest and darkest secrets begin to unravel.

My thoughts:
It’s not often a thriller can be dark and captivating, and give you all the happy feels at the end, but @sallyhepworth is so damn good at it! This book was full of characters who have something to hide, and are both good guys and bad guys. I thought the dead narrator would feel gimmicky but it somehow works, and I absolutely loved how everything came together at the end. Five stars from me!

✨The Soulmate Review✨
Author: Sally Hepworth
Genre: Thriller/Mystery

Omg omg… this book was a wild ride. I didn’t know who to love or hate honestly. Sally kept hitting me with twist almost every chapter. Like Gabe and Max… who do you feel bad for who do you trust?? Poor Amanda got stuck in the middle of drama… Pippa honestly ignored every red flag and I wanted to shake her. Overall, worth the read. If you love to hate characters this is the one for you!

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

This is a domestic thriller and it is a good one. In this one we have Gabe and Pippa with their two daughters. The family is trying to get there marriage in order and they buy a house on a cliff with a seaside view. Gabe likes to go by the part of the cliff they call the drop off. He has talked people out of jumping from that part until one day a women shows up and she jumps from that spot.

This is where the story begins. Pippa is confused what she saw out her window with her husband talking to the women before she jumps or did she actually jump? The story is told through the alternating points of view of Pippa and Amanda, both before and after Amanda’s death. This is where the unraveling of what kind of person Gabe is and you see the truth of who this man is.

Gabe we find out has some condition but is this the cause of his behavior it is up to the reader to decide that along with Pippa. There are so many secrets revealed and does this illness equal to the behavior that was ultimately done.

Sally Hepworth knows how to write a domestic thriller and this one is a topnotch one with a little bit of a new spin to the typical domestic thriller. If you are a fan of domestic thrillers then this one will be for you. Even with unlikable characters this one still hit the mark for me. I know some will scream to the rooftops about Pippa herself and why she stayed but when your dealing with illness you try to rationalize everything. It was a page turner to say the least. This was a five star read for me.
