Hmmmm....that is a toughie. If pressed to choose, I would say it's a tie between Paranormalcy by Kiersten White and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, for different reasons of course. ;)

Overall Reflection:
Wow...what a month! I honestly don't think I have ever given all 5/5 ratings for an entire month before! I read Twenty Boy Summer and Speak in honor of Banned Books Week and censorship. Both books were amazing and I highly recommend them. I read Wintergirls after Speak because Laurie Halse Anderson's voice was so haunting, I craved more of her work. I was not disappointed. Paranormalcy was a breath of fresh air, among the more heavy-hearted reads. Overall, a wonderful month of reading. I was soooo close to getting 5 in this month, but am not quite done reading The Replacement yet, so keep an eye out for that review. ;)
