It was kind of boring. You figured out what happened about half way through the book, and not many new developments were made.

Twists aren't just for the end of a book!
 I read the majority of Sally Hepworth's newest, The Soulmate, in one evening. It's perfectly bingeable.
 Pippa, husband Gabe, and daughters Freya and Asha, appear to be the perfect family. But any thriller reader knows this is never the case.
 The story is told from the points of view of two characters. Each is in two time frames - before/after, and then/now.
 I'm a big fan of domestic suspense and I did not see the twists of The Soulmate coming, built in along the way to keep us off balance. And I definitely did not anticipate the ending!
 Great characters, excellent pacing.
 Recommended!
 For release on April 4.

This was my March BOTM pick. Right from the first page, i was hooked. After their lives are turned upside down, Gabe and Pippa moved to a house adjacent to a spot known as The Drop. It is a well-known suicide hotspot, but in the year they have lived there, Gabe has managed to talk down several people until one fateful day. It goes on to follow two POV between two timelines: Before and After the apparent suicide of a woman. Except nothing is as it appears. There were some amazing twists in this story. When you start to figure out something, you're thrown a curveball. What I loved most about this story wasn't exactly a whodunit. Instead, it was piecing together why it happened.
