I read Station Eleven as a blind date book from the library. I really liked it a lot more than I expected to.
Edit: literally just found the book date description 30 minutes later. This is all I knew going into the book:
Genre: Post apocalyptic sci-fi
Description: A Hollywood Star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors
Okay but thats pretty spot on. Wouldn't exactly call it sci-fi though
Yeah, I agree it’s not really scifi, that was just the libraries description.
Spoiler on plot (minor)
Maybe it was the whole thing about everyone dying of a mysterious illness that made them put scifi.But it was a really good book
