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.

I really liked it!! I have a low "cringe" tolerance when it comes to thrillers because sometimes the authors seem to go out of their way to make their books edgy, but this one was incredible and there wasn't a single line that felt too dramatic for the scene. I'm full time student and still managed to finish it in two days. It kept me guessing until the very end and there were multiple times where I audibly said "holy shit". Highly recommend!
