Story3.5 out of 5 stars 14
When Ella boards a sumptuous charter off the coast of Australia, she feels…dread. Her husband, Mac, the social butterfly who makes these wellness retreats so much easier to navigate, is stuck at work, leaving her exposed to the other passengers. Luckily, she forms an instant bond with the charismatic Chloe, a newly single woman salving a broken heart. But as the friendship grows, Ella discovers they share more than the need for an escape, and their devastating connection has the power to forever alter their lives.

Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law with new novel Darling Girls out now.
In a moment of maternal despair Essie once made a terrible mistake, one she will always regret. Essie has since recovered, but she fears what may still lurk inside her.
Her neighbours in Pleasant Court have their own issues. Driven and organised, Ange has everything under control, except perhaps her husband. Practical, intellectual Fran can't stop running. For exercise, or something else?
Then one day, Isabelle arrives and appears to be very curious about her neighbours. Too curious, some might say.
It soon becomes clear that Isabelle's choice of neighbourhood was no accident . . .

A nice wholesome listen
This was an easy listen for my commute. The story had enough momentum to keep me I retested and I enjoyed the jump between a few different character plot lines.

Soapy
I really enjoyed The Soulmate but I don't think I'll keep going with her older books. They seem to lack the flow, narrative and engaging storylines of the newer ones. This one in particular felt way too soap-like, and the 'good' relationships a little too cute.

If you’re not already a Sally Hepworth fan, you need to be!
As always, packed full of memorable characters that you get attached to, with plot lines that suck you in from page one until the very end.

Its a story of bored rich house wives
Dont know all Australian writers write same kind of novels. But appreantly they do. Its my second from an Austrailian author first was from "Liane Moriarty" particularly this one sounds easy on ears as it is not v hard to follow the story and does not have too many similar sounding names.
All in all its a good time pass when you are out camping and have not much to do at nights.
Rest i wouldn't have listened to it on a normal day.
This story is of rich couples of Melbourne have no real issues in life yet betraying their partners and creating other problems just for the sake of it.
This story in last three hours turn similar to the movie "people like us" or last chunck of a movie "into the wild".
Its really a weird norm in white culture to declare polygamy and cousin marraige a hedious crime but incest among siblings is considered mild to okish and often justified as human nature.
Ending was abrupt. Seems like every other white australian lady writes in a similar way and no i am not being racist or as such its just my raw opinion and you may disagree and move on.

Loved this one
I heard the recommendation from the Mamamia Outloud podcast and they were right… Sally Hepworth is a great writer.
Several plot lines play out in the book, so it stays interesting.

Thank you Home and Away
Funnily enough, I found this book because a character one Home and Away was reading it and I usually find the best books by accident and this was no exception! This was a great book and so easy to listen to! I thought I had the plot twists all worked out but was definitely surprised. Loved it!!

Not as good as others
I found the story just too boring and long winded with very highly unlikely scenarios. Not as good as her other books
