Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
3.0
reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No

Written by a real life convenience store worker, Convenience Store Woman is a quirky read that reflected the societal pressures of what is deemed a normal way of life. 

I enjoyed the quiet humor woven into Keiko's story and was happy to see her own heroism shine through in not conforming in the end.
