Nigh
We’re not getting any older... An extraordinary event at the genetic level changes everything - the world didn’t see it coming. It takes time for people to adjust to waking up to smoother skin and better health. Vices and addictions can now be taken up with abandon as cells repair themselves on the slow but inexorable path to youth and infancy. A global spring clean begins, a purge to free the planet of parasites. In the first week of what came to be christened ‘God’s Boomerang’, confusion and fear gripped the world. Over decades, countries and societies radically change and through the experiences of a reporter, a doctor, two couples and an ancient Iowan farmer, we hurtle through this maelstrom of upheaval, shepherding humankind to its ultimate destiny… A very human apocalypse… A new end is beginning...

I read this one as a part of my SPSFC badge!
Do I think Nigh is abook everyone would enjoy? Nope
Do I think is fantastic? Yes.
One of my favorites for this round, and extremely sad that it didn't make the cut, Nigh is an exploration of what humanity would do if the start reverse aging. And even though I'm mostly a plot driven reader I love the hell out of this type of books. Because I just love watching (well in this case reading) how humans react.
The tone reminded me a bit of Station Eleven in the way that you are just there for the ride because you everyone is gonna die eventually.
Again try Nigh, the concept is great and you can eat this up in a couple of days!
