An challenging look at society and what it means to exist within and without societies expectations. i found the perspective unique and trying at times, a balance i believe the author was going for. i really enjoyed getting into the narrators head and experiencing their perspective. i liked the descriptions of her sensations and how she engaged with the world that often felt foreign to her.  i am glad i read it

Convenience Store Woman is a compelling quick read, each page is filled with information from the narrator (Keiko Furukura) that will either shock you, resonate with you, or piss you off. 

Summed up in a sentence:
The Human existence is complex but a conveience store is straightforward. 

Worth the read.
