Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.75
dark lighthearted reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

What an absolutely bizarre book but in the best way. So much happens within the span of its 170-ish short pages, and the range of emotions I felt towards the main two characters was vast. It’s funny, weird, unpredictable, and at times creepily accurate in its social commentary. I finished it in 1.5 hours, I couldn’t put it down!
