Wow, what a story! We're right there with our main character as her first love unexpectedly re-enters her life after a tragedy. You can feel her being pulled back to him, even though she's married and has a whole new life she's built.The way the story jumps between different timelines totally kept me hooked. The past is revealed bit by bit, and at the same time, the courtroom case in the present is slowly unraveling. I had so many questions buzzing in my head, I just couldn't put Shattered Groun...

I'm so sorry 🫣😶‍🌫️This is a VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION!!!!!! I didn't like *Shattered Ground* by Clare Leslie Hall at all, lmao. The audiobook was good, and I kept listening, so it did have that bingeable quality. But oh my goodness, I hated every character. Beth was insufferable, Gabriel even more so, and I didn't even care for the kid. Or Jimmy, or any of the parents. I don't know, everyone pissed me off except for Farmer Frank. Which, by the way, Frank, you deserve better, king.The twists neve...

This is it, my moment of reckoning, and in some ways I long for it. If characters make or break a story, then it's easy to see why Shattered Ground has stolen so many hearts.I didn't really know what to expect going in.

It can slip into a soap opera, with drama for drama's sake and emotions for emotion's sake. But t...

Marriage is scary, because what if they turn out like Beth? I can’t say I loved this book, but I also can’t say I hated it. I originally picked this up because *Shattered Ground* is currently receiving praise and reviews left and right, becoming a trendy read on this app. *Shattered Ground* by Clare Leslie Hall will come off as emotional, tear-jerking, and heartbreaking to some, but to me, it felt selfishly indulgent. I can see how and why people love it, but for me, it falls under those “unsure...

At least, not in the way most people use "negative." It's simply one of those books that didn't fully resonate with me. You can't force a book to click, you know?
