Compelling, immersive and beautifully written. This book builds an amazing atmosphere around the convenience store. The woman’s perspective and inner voice is just so so interesting. Reading this book made me think a lot about conformity and it’s complexities. Take a few hours out of your day to treat yourself to this reflect, unique book. 

Also, you can always tell if you read a good book, or a book that you really liked if you continue to think about it for a while after, and that has definitely been the case here for me.
