Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.5
reflective sad 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

What a unique short story. 
Overall, it has a message that I would argue portrays that many individuals in society do not need to change if they are sufficiently happy with their life. 

I found the main character to be fascinating, almost morbidly so, and would completely re-read this again.
