Book Review: The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth opens with Pippa and Gabe living in their dream home on a beach.  The only drawback are the people who come to jump off the cliffs behind their house to commit suicide.  Every time someone comes to jump, Gabe rushes out and talks them out of it.  However, one night, Gabe is unsuccessful, and the woman jumps.  When Pippa finds out that Gabe knew her, their life starts to unravel.  With an expected publication date of April 4, 2023 in the United States, this is a novel you don't want to miss.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth.  Having read The Mother-in-Law by the same author, I knew that this newest book would be worth the time to read, and I was thrilled when my request to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review was approved.  I was not disappointed in the least.

Words cannot describe how engrossing The Soulmate is . . . it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I had no idea where the author was going with everything.  Told from two different characters point of view as well as past and present, Hepworth did a phenomenal job with the storylines.  It enhanced the story and flowed exceptionally well.  I wish all authors could do this as mellifluously as Sally Hepworth does.  I found myself completely losing track of time and wanted to stay up all night long to finish.  I would've too if I hadn't had to work the next day.

 

I loved almost all of the characters, and even one of the ones I disliked ended up redeeming himself in the end.  And that ending . . . I never saw it coming.  It blew me away and was so bittersweet.  I could just gush over this book . . . that's how much I loved it.  Five out of five stars is what I give The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth, and I look forward to reading more from her.
