Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
5.0
SPOILER FREE
I loved this book!
I understand how this may not be the book for everyone, but I absolutely loved the message to women about being who you want and seeking what you want in life no matter what stupid expectations society puts on you or how 'absurd' what you want may be. I loved the main character, I rooted for her all the way through. The descriptions of the convenience store actively made me want to go to one and eat all of the delicious snacks it has to offer. This was also my first translated book and it was such a good introduction that I have been looking out for more translated works. Absolutely recommend, just go into it with the right attitude.
