So many twists I didn't see coming. The writing could have been better, but it was a solid story.

I was interested from the beginning. The character development was good enough to carry out the plot with the little twist at the end. I did find it dragging at some points because I was dying to know what was what! When it was finally revealed I was like “oh ok” 😂 but that little twist at the end really helped me understand why the book is called, “The Soulmate”.

I tried so hard to get past the fact that every character in this book was a human dumpster fire, but by the end I couldn't do it and I kind of actively wished death on all of them. The storyline was solid, but I really wish I had had someone to root for. For the most part this was pretty forgettable for me, but points for a solid effort at intriguing plot.
