funny lighthearted slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

Convenience Store Woman gives me Eleanor Oliphant vibes. Funny, awkward and a good quick read.

A really great book that cured my reading slump and really made me reflect. This is the sort of book that would be perfect for an English class because there are many themes throughout the book and questions that are posed and left for interpretation and while being out of school, I'm really tempted to write a few five paragraph thesis essays about this book.
