Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.0
challenging dark funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I flew through this in one sitting. It has an absorbing and tight narrative, cleverly drawing you into the protagonist's strange and simple world.

For fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Eilieen by Otessa Moshfegh, although I thought this was better than both of those books.
