A review by scruffie
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

dark reflective sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This (translation of the) book is a clear 5/5 from me. 

However, keep in mind that the book is plastered with all those "reviews" calling it funny. I don't see what's funny about a story of a person having such a hard time navigating through life in this horrible, normativity-obsessed society of ours. I wish the marketing crew had read the book before designing the cover.
