Convenience Store Woman is an odd, but compelling read. Murata includes commentary about conformity in society by creating the story of Keiko, a woman who fails to "fit in" with her peers. Keiko works in a convenience store and cannot conceive herself beyond her job. She feels safe in her position because it is the one place where she knows how to do things "correctly". I enjoyed reading this title and only wish that it had been longer. The ending was very abrupt and really affected my reading experience.
