    Book 8/10
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019*

This book contemplates what it means to be normal. The main character is a thirty six year old woman who is abnormal by societies standards. Her persona is built from the coalescence of parts of other people. She attempts to act the way her coworkers onto shroud her abnormality. Her sister pressures her to find a husband and is adamant about “curing” her. Fate brings her to meet a petulant man in his twenties who is finding a wife. He believes that society hasn’t changed from prehistoric times. He alludes to a village where “abnormal” people are ostracized from society. The man Judges people based on their superficial characteristics; for example, he belittles the store owner for his incompetence. When the main character adheres to societies standards and starts living with the man, other people validate her for doing so. Although her sister and her friends are content with her new life, she begins to loose her diligence. She begins to sleep and wake whenever she pleases and breaks the momentum of the convenience store that drives her life. She is now normal in accordance to societies standards, but she doesn’t feel complete without the store. In the end, she realizes that the store is her element and she would rather be abnormal and content than normal and unhappy.

    Exactly What I Was Looking For
  

*by A***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019*

I wanted a book to read that didn't require intense concentration or a dictionary to get through.  This book fit the bill.  I was able to listen to it on Audible while doing other tasks and didn't have any trouble keeping up with the story.  I have never read a book about a person who works in a convenience store and I have never read a book about a convenience store worker who lives in Japan.  It was a nice change.

    An endearing misfit struggles with social norms
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2018*

Keiko Furukuru was born with no instinct for socially acceptable behavior. As a child she was inappropriate so often that her parents were constantly being summoned to teacher-parent meetings. So she stopped doing any thinking on her own and just imitated what others did. That worked.Keiko has a rebirth when she starts working part time at a convenience store. All she has to do is absorb the training and follow the manual.  Suddenly her life has structure and purpose. She could almost pass for normal, but after eighteen years in the same dead end job, relatives and friends start questioning her behavior again.This story is an eye-opener on the subject of individuality and socialization. Keiko’s naive logic is amusing and endearing. Even if you’ve never stocked a shelf or promoted rice balls, it’s not hard to identify with Keiko’s drive to do what makes her comfortable. Her reactions to the constant constructive criticism  from friends, co-workers, and relatives are startling and rather wonderful. She is agreeably polite and apologizes often.  Keiko is a bizarre kind of heroine, but still very much a heroine.Keiko’s sincere efforts to accommodate society’s expectations lead to outlandish situations that make fun reading. Keiko is a peculiar sort of heroine, but still very much a heroine.
