Shiraha really dragged my enjoyment of this book down, but I absolutely adored Keiko. 

This was such a simple, fast-paced book with subtly sharp observations of what it’s like to try and find your place in a society that says you can only be a successful human if you have a career or have kids. And Keiko is happiest working at a convenience store. What’s wrong with that?
