The Soulmate

I enjoyed this book. First, the title. Who exactly are the soulmates? In this story we get two marriages, both from the outside, look storybook perfect, two couples ideally suited. Then Sally Hepworth does her beautiful work of layering the issues, the cracks, the history. And it gets oh so juicy. I find her characters particularly well written, realistic in the examination of their daily lives and then also mental health issues. She handles it here with such deft. There is also intrigue and mystery and really great alternating POVs. I do love the Australian setting. Another good one.
