Thank you to Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book. I’ve always been a fan of books by Sally Hepworth but this one is the best so far. Every time I thought I had it figured out another twist was thrown into the plot. The writing was extremely descriptive, fast paced and thought provoking. I loved hearing the story from multiple points of view and with multiple timelines. Amanda After provided interest and an unexpected view. I loved the book and will make it a point to recommend. 5 stars for an excellent thriller with a unique storyline. It’s not what I expected.

This book is so twisty! I literally didn't have a clue how it would end the whole entire time. The plot was fantastically laid out, you never know the next move. We had unreliable characters and two narrators who didn't have all the info. It was a fascinating journey to go on. I actually really liked how it ended. It was a satisfying way to wrap it up. The story deals with a lot of heavy elements. Drug addiction, infidelity, criminal activity, but it all ties in seamlessly to the story. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

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.

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth is an intriguing book. I loved that we heard from Amanda - I found this to be a new take on this type of book (to me at least), which I thoroughly enjoyed. I did find that I was a tad bored in the middle of the story and not really shocked by the revelation at the end, which is why I rate it 3.5 stars. I rounded it up to 4 because I liked the ending. Barrie Kreinik and Jessica Douglas-Henry are both great narrators. They have range in their voices for the various characters that are distinct. Thank you to Macmillan Audio for providing me with an ALC.

In this book we meet Pippa and Gabe a couple who brought a house a few years ago on a cliff where people are notorious for going to try and jump off. So far out of seven people Gabe has been able to talk every one of them off the edge and no one has jumped until today. Normally Pippa stands at the window while calling the police and watches the interaction while Gabe reassures the person that everything will be okay but tonight Gabe couldn't talk this woman off the ledge. Pippa turned her eyes for just a second and then the woman was gone did she jump or was she pushed? Then we also follow Amanda (the dead woman) and her husband Max story. As he find out she has passed. I can't say much more without ruining the story but I did really enjoy this thriller and the twist was good. I also love the way this author writes families and family dynamics. I will read anything she writes.
