Didn't like it so I stopped. I'm at an age in which I don't want to read books that I'm not enjoying. It affects my mood.

I couldn't relate at all to the main character, which was ok. But when the male character entered the book, he was so disgusting that I couldn't imagine why I would spend any time with him.

Just finished the book. Very different book from anything I've ever read. But interesting to read about a different culture. Unique story.
I can totally relate to Keiko, as we all try at times, to fit in. Her oddities are just more extreme than most.

Quirky and entertaining I loved this novel more then I thought I would. Convenience Store Woman follows the life of 36-year-old-virgin Keiko Furukura who has, as the title suggests, has been working in a convenient store for the last 18 years. The thing is...she pretty happy with her situation.

Unable to really connect with other people or understand how they socially function, the store has given Keiko a purpose. Her only really problem now is that other people really don't seem to get it.
