Publisher's Summary:
All the Ways the World Can End by Abby Sher is at times heart wrenching while at others hilarious.
Lenny (short for Eleanor) feels like the world is about to end. Her best friend is moving to San Francisco and her dad is dying. 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.

Heartbreaking and amazing
Thanks to the #kidlitexchange network for the free review copy of his book â all opinions are my own.

Iâve been mulling over this review all weekend, trying to come up with a good way to put into words how this book made me feel. It was such an emotional, heartbreaking story, but something that also contained a lot of beauty. I think it will resonate strongly with a lot of readers.
Throughout this book Lenny does a lot of âcrazyâ things, ranging from stealing all the chickpeas from the pantry in order to keep the fallout shelter stocked, to self-harming when she reaches an emotional cliff in regards to her fatherâs cancer. Yes, some of it was really hard to read (I desperately wanted to reach into the pages and hug her), but it also made sense. Lennyâs sister is off at college, mom works too much, and sheâs convinced that she, Lenny, is the reason her dadâs cancer has taken this terminal turn.
Iâm often asked for a teen book that will make the reader feel a lot of emotion. This is that book. Despite the levity of the topic, thereâs also humor and typical teen âstuffâ. You definitely want to add this to your list of books to read.
This book swept me up in a rush of feelings ...
This book swept me up in a rush of feelings that honestly I've been trying to deal with in my own family for the last 4 years. My husband's mother succumbed to brain cancer last year. It took me on the journey of Eleanor and her family's battle against her dad's cancer. How would you react? How would you deal? Bury yourself in work? Busy yourself among the living or turn to tactics of pain that are far easier to control when your entire world is spinning out of control. In All The Ways The World Can End Abby Sher wrote characters that I could relate to and champion. She wrote characters that were human and flawed. I'm thankful for that. She allowed Eleanor to fight back with list making when there was no other way for a child to fight back against cancer which has been wreaking havoc in so many of our lives!

I felt like I was sitting in Lenny's world while reading
"Nobody was safe. Nothing lasted. Never, in the history of time, could we slow or stop ourselves from self-destruction." ... Wow. Just wow. With those exact words Abby Sher closes chapter 15 of All the ways the world can end. But it doesn't end there, this book follows the life of a young lady by the name of Elenor, "Lenny" for short.
