This was a very interesting read. Gave a glimpse into how a women is pictured in certain cultures and how they are supposed to live. I love how she went against that picture and decided to do her own thing as a convenience store women.

This was such a fun little read. It’s so weird it’s good. 
But I’m a big plot girlie, and this isn’t a plot story.
