  • 3.5 / 5

    For a large part of the book, I didn’t know how to feel. The beginning was slow and somewhat confusing and then, boom. As soon as I got past pages 70-100, everything changed.

    The book found its footing and became absolutely addictive. The characters wouldn’t let you catch your breath. The plot kept evolving for the better and… I have only one thing to say: Frank, the man you are ♥️♥️

    As for the plot twists, the first one, to be honest, even though I had guessed it, was so powerful that it didn’t bother me! The second one I hadn’t thought of, but it made so much sense that I was like this: ?‍♂️

    In summary, yes, the book was worth it. It required patience in the first 100 pages. Some scenes happened faster than I would have liked, it made me feel like it was rushing. BUT everything that comes after is more than worth it. Read it!
    The book will become a movie or series by Reese Witherspoon’s production company.

    Potential spoiler:
    Between us, I NEVER liked Gabriel, he was selfish, a mama’s boy—even if he didn’t want to admit it—and mostly a coward. On the other hand, Beth had her moments but I can’t help but justify her because I understand her position. However, I don’t think she deserved Frank, although that shows the love he had for her. When you say “no one is perfect,” I’ll tell you to read the book, get to know Frank, and think again.

Description & Specifications

IT WAS A SECRET LOVE BEFORE IT BECAME A PUBLIC SCANDAL.

Everyone in the village said that Gabriel's return would not end well. And now, as Beth watches the man she loves on trial for murder, she cannot help but think they were right.

She was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. That intoxicating, intense summer, Gabriel made her think, see, and feel differently. She believed it was the beginning of a wonderful love story that would last forever. But when Gabriel left to become what his mother expected him to be, Beth fell apart.

Frank was the man who picked up the pieces of her life. Together they built a household very different from the one she had imagined with Gabriel. And there was a time – in fact, several years – when she was happy. Watching her husband and son cross their farm on the tractor, she felt very certain that, despite everything that had happened, this was the life she was meant to live.

But Gabriel returned, and Beth's confidence in who she was and what she wanted crumbled. Even after ten years, their attraction was instantaneous. She knew it was wrong and she knew many people would be hurt. But how could she resist giving a second chance to her first love?

A love story with the pulse of a thriller, SHATTERED LAND is a gripping novel about impossible choices and their disastrous consequences.
