Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall had been buzzing around the bookstagram world for months, with so many readers raving about it, and I couldn’t wait to dive in. The story promises a mix of unresolved past loves, buried secrets, and suspenseful twists, all set against a backdrop of mystery and courtroom drama. While I wouldn’t necessarily label it a traditional thriller, the tension and intrigue are undeniable.

I went into it expecting a raw, emotional, and twist-filled journey, but honestly, it didn’t hit me on that deeper level I was hoping for. It felt a bit surface-level for my taste, and I didn’t connect with the story as much as I anticipated. That said, I know I’m definitely in the minority here — so many readers have been deeply moved by it, and I can totally see why it resonates with others. If you’re into stories with buried secrets and suspenseful drama, this one might just be your next great read!
