YA
Eleanor (Lenny) has long been fixated on apocalypse theories, but she never imagined a loss that just feels like the end of the world. When her father is diagnosed with terminal cancer, however, Lenny's fears mount, complicated by her changing best-friendship and a crush on her father's doctor. This is a well-written, realistic portrait of a bright young woman's response to tragedy.
