I second the suggestion Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (2014). Most of the elements are not that novel, but the way it is told was quite different and after some early reservations I liked it very much.

There are also two interconnected novellas by Maia Sepp that I quite enjoyed. An Etiquette Guide to the End Times and Wake. They used to be available everywhere (I got them from Kobo) but I think they went exclusive to Amazon some time ago. The first is mostly post-apocalypse, the second is more of the apocalypse in motion. In my reviews I've described them as the "world ending with a whimper rather than a bang" and "the cosy apocalypse". Their lack of violence actually made them seem quite real to me.
