Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

3.0

It was nice entertainment on the drive to and from work for the past 3 days. It was a simple story and I enjoyed it for what it was; I could see myself (with more free time) having instead snuggled up with it as a physical book on a weekend and enjoyed it as both quirky fiction and Japanese social commentary. I think because I’ve read other fictions about social pressure to be married and have kids towards japenese women, this one didn’t really stand out to me because of it’s simplicity and brevity, but it was by no means a bad book and I’m glad I finally got to check it off my list <3.
