Readers have spoken, and Broken Country by Claire Leslie Hall has been named the best Reese's Book Club pick of 2025.
According to a ranking published by Women.com, readers on Goodreads gave the historical romance mystery glowing reviews and the highest overall ratings out of all of Reese Witherspoon's selections from last year. Nearly half of reviewers gave it five stars, and impressive feat that underscores just how strongly readers have connected with Witherspoon's March 2025 pick.
Set in England in the 1950s and 1960s, Broken Country centers on married couple Beth and Frank. Their quiet farm life is upended when Beth's former boyfriend unexpectedly returns to their small town with his son in tow. His arrival forces long-buried secrets to resurface and pushes Beth to confront unresolved feelings, complicated life choices, and life-altering decisions about her future.

"As an author, you are told to stay in your lane, but I think those are the books I like to read, and those are the books that I seem to write,” said Hall in an interview. "So I was just writing what was in my heart."
Witherspoon described the book as a "gripping mix of thrilled murder mystery and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to relieve your truest love story all over again," when she introduced the selection on her Instagram account in March 2025. "Plus that ending?! I did not see it coming!"
That twist has become one of the most talked-about elements of the book, with many Goodreads reviewers echoing the sentiment.
