BOOKS I READ IN JUNE

This post contains affiliate links – have marked them all with a * – you can read more about them on my disclosure page.

I know I say this every month but holy shit, July? Really? I feel like my head is still in March and I can’t quite believe that we are actually over half way through 2020. Which, aside from the arrival of Oliver, has been one sick fucking joke of a year. However, with that being said, I have done some amazing reading and it is time for me to share the books I read in June.

AFTER WE COLLIDED BY ANNA TODD*

I’m not going to sell this to you as ground breaking literature, because it isn’t. What it is, is HIGHLY addictive angst & romance. They’re the typical bad boy/good girl storyline that I am a complete sucker for. There is an adaptation of the first book (it is a series) on Netflix that is.. okay.. but I will say the books are 100 times better. The second film is ready to be released, i’m just waiting not so patiently to find out when!

IN FIVE YEARS BY REBECCA SEARLE*

I have had this on my kindle for quite a while and whilst I did enjoy it, I found it didn’t live up to the hype that surrounds it! I was slightly disappointed by the ending and found the plot quite predictable. It is a really quick & lovely read – just not what I expected.

HALF A WORLD AWAY BY MIKE GAYLE*

I had heard so much about this book & finally picked it up whilst it was 99p (which is still currently is at the time I am posting this) and i’m so glad I did. People rave about Mike Gayle’s writing and I wasn’t disappointed. Another quick read with such a lovely but heartbreaking plot. I absolutely loved the two main characters & the love they brought out in each other. Such a gorgeous story of siblings – watching their relationship develop melted me.

AFTER THE END BY CLARE MACKINTOSH*

My favourite book of the month and the second book for an online book club I run “The Mummy Book Club“. This story broke my heart. A lot. It definitely affected me more due to the fact that I am a parent. I am a HUGE fan of Clare’s thriller novels so I knew I would enjoy this but it honestly took me by surprise just how much I loved it! It is devastating, poignant and so beautifully written.

THE PRENUP BY LAUREN LAYNE*

This is your typical enemies to lovers romance that I love so much and this one was enjoyable, super easy read but nothing I haven’t read before. I absolutely loved the main character Charlotte – she was hilarious and sarcastic which are two of my favourite things! I’d definitely read more from this author.

THE SHELF BY HELLY ACTON*

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I was sent this last year and have only just got around to picking it up & i’m annoyed it took me so long! The premise is basically if Love Island & Big Brother had a baby. It is addictive and made me laugh out loud numerous times. Such a clever book and the characters were so realistic. I loved it.

I’d love to know what books you read this month? Which was your favourite read?
