The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth is one of those books that sucks you in and keeps you from doing anything productive. (I blame my dirty house on this book and my husband…) It is everything you want in a good thriller.
Summary
Gabe and Pippa had no idea their dream home was on a cliff known for its many suicides. Gabe is able to talk every one of them off the ledge until one day, he doesn’t. When Pippa learns he knew the victim, their perfect lives begin to fall apart quickly.
My Thoughts
A lot of thrillers/mystery books tend to be predictable and similar. This one does not fall in that category. When I thought I knew where the story was going, it twisted in a completely different direction. It’s also a tragic love story of the victim, her husband, and Pippa and Gabe.
The book switches between different characters and frequently jumps to the past and present. This was so well done and keeps the reader interested the entire time. The characters in the book were very well written. I really enjoyed reading from Amanda’s point of view after her death.
Overall, it was a great read and I’m glad I chose it as my March Book of the Month!
Favorite Quotes
“I did not come here to die.”
“Turns out I don’t need someone holding my board and pushing me into the wave – I can do it myself. Several times as, I ride the wave, I have that glorious, blissful feeling…like I’m flying. It’s even better than the feeling I had the day Gabe took me surfing. Because it taught me that Gabriel Gerard isn’t the only one who can make magic. I can make magic too.”
“Funny how love can remain, despite everything.”
