This felt like a tragicomedy because of the hypercapitalism just bleeding into everything but the delivery was so FUNNY sometimes. She banished an incel to the bathtub because he was just so stinky in every sense. Lots to pick apart with this and it was very worth the read

This book is easily read in one sitting. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the story, but it prompted a lot of thoughts on acceptability, normality, and finding your way when you don't fit. There is never a diagnosis, but the main character Keiko is autism coded. The book is descriptive of masking and how she tries to mimic others to appear normal. It felt exhausting reading it, not to mention doing it everyday.  Convienance Store Woman left me feeling pity, struggle, earnestness, and cheery for her in the end.

I really enjoyed learning the wonderful mind of Keiko, she reminds me of myself in some ways. This book is quick, funny and insightful - I highly recommend.
