    This book is one of my all-time favorite books. Non-fiction but it reads like an historical fiction book.

    i have 2 on the shelf that i'd like to throw in the ring but i see there's one spot left and they're both Aussie authors so i don't know if they're harder to find in the US?? I know we all read Nine Perfect Strangers but i think Liane Moriarty is more international since the Big Little Lies tv series - anyway...
    so i' ll post a link to both and if i just let GR decide, this first one is 'better' - 4.13 stars (but also it's apparently YA which i know not everyone likes) and more end of the world sort of stuff
    (((ETA: i was not swayed at all by seeing my name on the cover, although that doesn't happen very often! because my copy hasn't got that on the front - mine says ' a terrifying yet hope-filled story of disaster, deceit, love, sacrifice and survival - Fleur Ferris)))

    and the 2nd is 3.36 stars and sounds more who can you trust/thriller, but it's reviews are so polar opposite, so i think that really skews the result

    Oh man! I totally want to read that first book. I have a weird fascination with end of the world type books like this one and I might actually buy the book {gasp} but it is not available with my library, my e-library or even my state wide requesting library. The only place I can find it is on Amazon for $20. So, just in the interest of picking one that's more available to everyone, I'm going to add your second book to the list.

    And then we are ready for voting ! thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!
