I really enjoyed this book about a woman who feels different from the rest of society and is very content and happy being a convenience store worker, but the rest of society won't leave her alone to do what she wants to do. She comes across a very unpleasant man who shares her disconnect from society but goes about dealing with it in a very destructive and parasitic way, and I wish there was more of a resolution at the end (what happens to him? What about her relationship with her sister?)
