This was a really strange book, it only took me a few hours total to read, although to be honest I got into a bit of a reading slump and left this one for a while.
It was weird though, a woman who isn't interested in the normal path of life, boyfriend, marriage, kids, works part time in a convenience store and almost becomes at one with the store.
She allows a jobless man to live with her, which gives her a momentary glimpse into how happy other people are for her when it seems she is going to conform, but she realises, eventually, that she is not happy.
Odd. I liked it.
