Synopsis: Lenny (short for Eleanor) feels like the world is about to end. Her best friend is moving to New York City to attend Julliard and her dad has terminal cancer. To cope with her stress Lenny is making a list of all the ways the world can end—designer pathogens, blood moon prophecies, alien invasion—and stockpiling supplies in a bunker in the backyard. Then she starts to develop feelings for her dad's very nice young doctor—and she thinks he may have feelings for her too. Spoiler alert: he doesn't. But a more age-appropriate love interest might. In a time of complete uncertainty, one thing's for sure: Lenny's about to see how everything is ending and beginning. All at the same time.
Review: This was such an emotional rollercoaster. I thought the book did well with the characters and the plot. The book was well written and so emotional. It's a great one if you need to cry.
However, I did think that the book didn't have a lot of world building and I think it could have been better to tie up some of the loose ends like with Julian and the self harm issue.
Verdict: So so so so good!
