June Books - 2015 Real Book Challenge

I need real life to slow down so I can read more. In June I only finished 7 books, and only 2 were real.

Details about the challenge can be found here: Real Book Challenge.

2015 Real Book Challenge Goal: 50
June 2015 Real Books: 2
Number Of Books Still To Read To Hit Goal: 17

Best book of the month? That would be Wild Reckless, by Ginger Scott, and Illuminae, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. I love love love Scott's writing, and let me say that Illuminae will be on my best books of 2015. I don't even have the word to describe how much I loved it, from it's innovative format to deep, relatable characters that I fell in love with.

Least favourite book this month? This one's also a tie between Falling For My Boss by J.S. Cooper and Helen Cooper, and Wish Girl, by Nikki Loftin. The former had unlikeable characters that I eventually felt indifferent towards, poor chemistry and a crap endingthe book ended before the story did—and the latter was a middle school book, not a young adult. The writing lacked depth, I had difficulty suspending disbelief, and I didn't really connect with the characters.

The real books I read in June are:
