Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.0
funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was such a delightful little read! I related to Keiko and her situation so much, and I was pleasantly surprised to read about a character who's considered a failure by pretty much everyone around her, but who proves that as long as you're happy with yourself and with what you do, nothing else matters.

I loved the writing style, I loved the translation, and I will definitely be picking up more of Sayaka Murata's works in the future!
