The Soulmate is my new favorite Hepworth novel by far! It had everything. Marriage, murder, infidelity, betrayal, mental illness, struggles of parenting, social pressure, and more. 

Theres crucial information revealed till the very end and it adds so much more. The POV alternates between the two heroines before and after the momentous moment. This switch in POV’s really made the story what it is - it gave insight into the characters actions and the motives.  

Primarily what I love about Hepworth novels is the domesticity of it. All the characters everyday struggles are relatable - the daily chaos that is having kids, marital bliss (or strife?), finding personal happiness and fulfillment; all characters can be your friend or sister simply going through life. 

Hepworth has outdone herself with this one - I thought The Good Sister couldn’t be topped but here we are!
