Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
2.0
I may have set myself up for disappointment by having overly high expectations for this book.
I appreciate the concept and how it serves as an allegory for the role of women in society. Sayaka Murata does raise important questions and conversations, which I deeply value in literature.
Still in saying this, books are subjective and personally I didn't enjoy its execution. While the writing style was easy to follow, I found it bland and repetitive.
Regardless, I can understand and appreciate why it resonated with so many people. I connected with the main character, Keiko, on her journey too.
