The narrative is shared across “Now” and “Then” (Pippa’s Pov) and “Before" and “After" (Amanda’s PoV). The author touches upon themes of love, marriage and fidelity and mental health, among others. None of the characters are particularly likable, though I could sympathize with Amanda to an extent and Gabe for his personal struggles. On this note, I had serious issues with how the topic of mental health was handled in this story. We are shown that Gabe was receiving professional help, but I found it hard to believe Pippa did not question the initial diagnosis. As the narrative begins to shed light on past events, I thought Pippa, a lawyer by profession who has dealt with Gabe’s past indiscretions and mental health issues in the past, chose to ignore or rather was in denial over the gravity of the situation in the present timeline. With two young children at home, one would expect her to be circumspect and act on it, instead of wishing her troubles away and second-guessing her suspicions. As a plot point, I found this aspect of the story utterly unconvincing. We get to follow these characters through the hot San Diego summer, we get to see them reconnect and come together to have an amazing summer. But everything comes with a price when you are a star of one of the most famous k-dramas on Netflix. Kindred spirits are those that we connect to on a personality level rather than soul level. Here are some common qualities of kindred spirits: Algo muy curioso que me ha pasado con este libro y que hacía mucho tiempo que no me pasaba es que me quede, literalmente, frita leyéndolo. Estaba muy cansada pero me empeñé en seguir leyendo hasta el punto de que me desperté a las 3:00 am con el libro abierto encima mía y la luz encendida...

here’s a new title: two insufferable people who are nowhere near soulmates AND who aren’t even in seoul for 99% of the storyline. they’re in san diego. The strength of one's devotion to a "soulmate" was also brilliantly and poignantly showcased in this intricately plotted domestic thriller. Christina Lauren blurbed this as "the perfect childhood friends-to-lovers story" and I agree. This YA novel was cheesy, light-hearted and so much fun — exactly how I like my K-drama books and shows! Además la novela cuenta con acción y giros de trama que me han gustado mucho, no aburre en ningún momento y no decae, lo que siempre hace que la lectora quiera continuar con la lectura.

Pippa and Gabe Gerard move to a cliffside cottage in a scenic coastal town on the outskirts of Melbourne with their two daughters with hopes of starting over after a difficult phase in their marriage. Their new home is close to the edge of a cliff, "The Drop" – an area frequented by those who chose to end their lives. Gabe, a sensitive person who has struggled with mental health issues, has made a name for himself by being able to persuade people from jumping to death. On one fateful night, Pippa sees a woman hovering close to the edge and calls the authorities as Gabe approaches the woman to talk to her. Pippa sees them talking but in a tragic turn of events, the woman plunges to her death and Pippa notices Gabe standing with his hands outstretched, which he later tells her was so that he could try to save the woman. Pippa isn’t quite convinced but chooses to believe her husband. Then it is revealed that the woman was none other than Amanda Cameron, the wife of Gabe’s former employer, Max Cameron – a fact that Gabe had not shared with Pippa initially. Was there more to what transpired that night of which Pippa is unaware? What is Gabe hiding from her and why? But one day a woman in early fifties approaches to their house. Pippa watches Gabe and the mysterious woman through the window: seeing her husband arms outstretched, palms facing out, standing close to the woman. And woman falls down! Did she really jump or was she pushed down? But her kind hearted husband cannot be involved in something so sinister, can he? They can somehow see that Poppy and Noah have met because their teenage lust is causing freak weather. And if they sleep together the world may end. They can just about identify that the couple are in Europe, however when the freaking army burst in and stop them from consummating the hideous relationship, they know them both by name. It’s a very clever dual narrative mostly from Pippa’s past and present POV, but also from the victim Amanda’s past and present POV AFTER her death. It was extra fun to see things from her now omniscient perspective! Gabe is stay at home father, taking care of their children after a tragic incident he’s getting through and Pippa is estate lawyer, practical fixer, breadwinner of the family.Told from different viewpoints, Pippa reveals a perfect marriage on the outside to her love at first sight husband, Gabe. He was a beautiful being, yet suffers from a mental illness misdiagnosed at first. They bought a house by the cliffs near Melbourne, known as Millionaire's Walk, and have two beautiful daughters....one of them being from Gabe's infidelity. Pippa practices law while Gabe is the daily protector of the girls. At times, Pippa reveals herself as a mother that suffered postpartum in the beginning, but Gabe has been deemed as the hero of the small community saving many contemplating suicide. The one time Gabe did not save a woman that did jump, Pippa tried to resolve what she saw from the window. Did Gabe push her? Know her? Lie to the police? To Pippa? Gabe and Pippa, along with their two four-year-old daughters, have moved to a cliffside home in Portsea, Australia. They’re hoping for a fresh start after Gabe’s unstable work history and increasingly erratic behavior have led to yet another move. Unfortunately, the cliff on their property is a well-known spot called “The Drop” for those who want to end their lives. Fortunately, Gabe seems to have a gift for talking people away from the edge … at least he did until this most recent woman shows up. Now she’s dead, and Pippa’s left to make sense of what she saw from the window.

I listened to the full-cast audiobook and all of the narrators did a superb job with the narration. Overall, this is a fun and adorable YA contemporary which gives you an insight into the Korean culture and the world of k-dramas. We have two narrators, Pippa and the dead woman and we see the events of this story through their eyes, now and in the past. Both woman love their husbands, faults and all. Fidelity and loyalty play a part in this story. Can these women trust their husbands? Can their husbands trust their wives. This is very much a character study and with a huge focus on marriage and partnership. How strong are the bonds within each relationship? Just how much can each partner take? The paranormal element turns a sappy love story into something else entirely. Anita and Rain are like baddies trying to save the world, and they're brilliant. Poppy is so strong, so much her own person, even when falling in love, she makes a perfect female protagonist. Noah is so flipping gorgeous and wonderful. Best boyfriend ever.The author explores themes of identity and belonging while highlighting the cut-throat Korean entertainment industry, fandom and what goes on behind the scenes, all of which made for a compelling read. The book also nailed all things Hallyu: Issues aside, I still mostly enjoyed this, and will continue to devour anything Sally Hepworth writes! Because of this, when they spot a woman on the ledge one day, it seems almost natural for Gabe to go out and approach her. To try to help. Gabe and Pippa have a terrific marriage and are the parents to two wonderful little girls. They now live in the home they have always dreamed about. The view on the cliffs is gorgeous. Unfortunately, there are people using the cliffs as a place to end their lives. Until recently, Gabe has been able to save people from following through on the plan to end their lives.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view. Dun dun dun! Okay, that premise sounds awesome. I can't help but be drawn in, and it turned out to be a riveting read. This easily could've been one of those books I read in one sitting if I had the time.I don't do spoilers. But I've never wanted to so much! I feel like this book should come with some kind of warning. At some point, you will cry. That's all I'll say. I guessed every single twist...not because I am savvy but because it was so damn predictable...all I knew that it had to be both ridiculous and unbelievable...I only did not get the final cliffhanger (hint hint) and when my poor reading eyes read it I actually laughed out loud...like severely. Be still my failing heart. Holly Bourne is a bright rising star in British YA… you won’t want to miss this extraordinary debut!” - Jess Loves Books Soulmates are unique types of relationships. To get a better understanding of them, here’s how soulmate relatiosnhips compare to some other types of unique relationships. Soulmates vs twin flames. First. I hate most of the characters. They are very annoying especially Poppy’s friends. I hate Ruth for being an insensitive bitch. She’s narcissistic, and in her narcissism, she thinks that everybody give a damn about her and as if she can get ay guy she wanted. I hate her attitude towards her friends because she keeps on putting them down instead of helping them boost their self-esteem. I also hate her for saying that if Poppy won’t sleep with Noah; a lot of girls would love to take her place. I mean, you don’t need to give everything to a guy to make him stay.
