Yubin reviewed Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
This book got me into reading!
5 stars
It is a really unusual tale of a middle-aged part time worker completely satisfied with her life being confronted with different expectations of the people around her. This books highlights how people completely comfortable with their life get looked down upon by people viewing them as a 'failure'. I thought it gave a great reason to show how a good life not adhearing to the societal expectations can turn terrible by adhearing to them. It is partly cold partly funny and I loved every word from it.
However it might be a bit different from other books. Due to its' short length I still recommend this book to anyone interested in societal topics and simple living.
