Books with: Non-Cliché apocalypse story. NOT Sci-Fic

[Jessica]

Okay, this is hard to explain.

But like, in basically ALL "end-of-the-world" kind of books, the Kid/young adult/teen ends up saving the world while trying to survive.. blah,blah, blah. Not that I don't like these kind of books, but I'm looking for something else.

Like, a GREAT example is We All Looked Up, by Tommy Wallach,

Instead of a end of the world story becoming Science fiction, I want it to be realistic fiction, romance, or just something else.

Thanks!!

I haven't read the whole thing yet, I'm only a bit into it, but The Stand might be a good option.

And I second Station Eleven

This is Not a Test it's more about the characters than the zombies
