Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

3.0

This was a very odd little book. I feel like I liked the perspective and was intrigued but I didn't really enjoy it. Keiko is endearing but Shiraha deeply sucked and was not fun to read. Reads similarly to Klara and the Sun honestly. Writing style is very similar to other translated-from-Japanese books I've read, which makes me wonder if it's the translation or the Japanese style. Interesting insight into Japanese lit and society.
