I'd have to start this book twice now.
When I picked it up for the second time, I was actually able to enjoy this. It's kind of boring, but the story becomes more fun as it goes on.
There's not much going on besides the 36 year old woman, Keiko, working at a convenience store who doesn't know how to act in society (which I relate to) ger family and friends are pestering her about getting married.
Like I said, it was fun, but it took some time.
Would recommend, though.

All about other people's expectations and whether to meet them or ignore. A very quirky book.

What a strange yet intriguing book. Though, often times "intrigue" comes hand-in-hand with strange. Being strange without intrigue is pointless (and quite a cruel criticism), but I digress.

If you don't like the read, then at least you didn't waste much time.

As an autistic woman this shit is too fucking relatable. Reading it with some self awareness just made me wonder, is this how other people see me, as something to fix? As something other? On the outside of society?
I often wonder if I can function as a human in society. I know I can on a technical level to some extent, but can I? And often my first thought is I don’t think I can, but if I had a routine, this supposed dead-end job at a convince store… maybe I could.
Also hated the creepy dude so much, just so so much, I hated it.
Pretty ok made me want to throw up because of how relatable and the feelings it made me feel. 3 stars.
