Last Seen Leaving by Caleb Roehrig
5.0

Flynn is a high school sophomore whose ex-girlfriend, January, is reported missing. The breakup was a relatively recent turn of events, so he becomes a prime suspect. In an effort to discover the truth, and clear his name, he uncovers a number of discrepancies. January had been lying to him and just about everyone he "interviews" about her disappearance.

In addition to the mystery, the book focuses on Flynn coming to terms with who he is as an individual. I loved his personality and sense of humor from the beginning, but admitting the truth allowed him the chance to finally be himself. He was essentially forced to come out and wasn't prepared, but I felt like Roehrig did an excellent job of portraying Flynn's feelings and experiences in a very realistic manner. Everything wasn't champagne and roses and I certainly wouldn't expect it to be.
