Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

4.5

This is a book about being different, about not fitting in with society's expectations of what a 'normal' person is. And the most delightful part of it is the fact that our MC, Furukura Keiko, does not care that she's not normal. Because of this, she manges to point out all the things that doesn’t make sense with society, lets the readers know that it’s hard to realize why something you did doesn’t make sense when no one tells you, and gives people like me who struggles with many of the same things as Keiko as chance to feel somewhat understood. 

This book criticizes what 'normal' means and the society we've created of what's expected of people, and I absolutely loved that. It felt nice to see someone thinking the same things as me.
