Last Seen Leaving by Caleb Roehrig
2.0

This book was pretty compelling throughout, but I will admit I skimmed the shit out of the last ~75 pages because the plot involved entirely around figuring out which Male Adult Creep assaulted the main girl -- which I, merely a reader PAYING ATTENTION, knew from the first page the MAC was introduced, and I was TIRED. Ultimately, I'm still struggling to figure out where the line is -- I love YA, and I love murder mysteries, but I am also so fucking exhausted by every YA murder thing I pick up being about a teen girl being assaulted. It's awful to read, and it always ends the same way.
