THE SOULMATE
Sally Hepworth
Whoa, Sally!
Ok people, get ready. This one is GOOD!
If you for some reason have avoided reading Sally Hepworth’s books or dismissed her books thinking they are not for you, I beg you to reconsider. And this is my shot at getting you to read it.
I could not stop reading THE SOULMATE and I did not remember to take notes. I was halfway through the book before I took a breath and looked around.
It was that good.
THE SOULMATE stars Gabe and Pippa. They live in an affluent community and their house sits on a cliff known around their neighborhood as THE JUMP somewhere at the edge of the world. It is a popular site for wayward souls to ponder taking their life. And Gabe is known for being an earthbound angel, talking them down frequently being a guiding light a voice of reason in their time of despair.
One night a woman shows up at THE JUMP and Gabe resumes his usual role as a caring confidant talking the woman down, and giving her reassurance.
But unlike most days this night ends with more questions than answers. And Gabe and Pippa’s marriage is suddenly on rocky ground, much more perilous than the cliffs outside.
Oh, boy I loved this one. I read it in two sittings and I could not put it down to save for anything else going on in my life. I read the first half lightning-fast and was so absorbed I forgot to take notes. It feels like you’re running downhill, and the momentum created was fierce.
The writing is quick and smart and agile. There was twist after twist and even when I thought I had enough I read more. The characters are life-like and their troubles are something you’ve heard before. The story was intricate yet uncomplicated. The book does deal with mental health, and I felt that the author and her sensitive readers did a fantastic job with the mental health representation.
THE SOULMATE comes out on April 4, 2023. Get your hands on it, and read it, it’s good! You can get an early copy through Book of the Month, and it is an option for March.
