The Jolly Reader

Author: Maria

This may not be an audiobook, but it is a whimsical podcast where I recap and react to young adult murder mystery books, one unhinged chapter at a time. I break books down chapter by chapter, full of spoilers, bad jokes, and big opinions. I also chat with authors and share bookish chaos on social media.

Wednesday, 1 April, 2026

In this episode of The Jolly Reader Podcast, we’re wrapping up Last Seen Leaving by Caleb Roehrig, covering Part 3: Chapters 21–29 (pages 218–324).The mystery surrounding January’s disappearance finally reaches its breaking point as Flynn gets closer than ever to the truth. Every secret, accusation, and half-truth from the earlier sections starts crashing together, forcing Flynn to confront what really happened, and what he may have missed all along.Will we finally learn what happened to January, or will this story leave us questioning everything right up to the last page? The theories are peaking, the pressure is on, and this finale gave me plenty to spiral over.This episode includes discussion of suicide and sexual assault.
