Sally Rooney and I have same review for this. Made it even funnier because I casted Ali Wong and Steven Yuen as the main characters
Didn’t expect the plot twist + loved the ending :”)
Themes: societal isolation, coming into oneself, thoughts on ur shitty friends that pretend to know u/be ur friend

what a strange and darkly quirky book. I like it.

The more I think about this book in hindsight the more I like it. At first it was a short, insignificant-seeming read but now I relate it to my everyday life, weeks after finishing it.
It’s a novel about an asexual 36 year old woman who finds peace and solace in the routine of working at a convenience store. She doesn’t understand the stressful obligations of society and hides in her routine, which gives her a peace and a purpose. This is the aspect of the book I ruminate on a constantly; finding peace and solace in routine. Because the author captures that feeling so perfectly. And for a brief second, I feel understood.
