– It’s a short and fascinating read about a woman who contends herself with her job at a convenience store. Most of the book discusses the main character’s struggles with trying to fit into social expectations and standards – why does she continue to work at a “dead-end” job for so long? does she not have any ambitions? what about marriage and children? These are some big overarching themes/questions that the book touched on in a very quirky, funny, and ironic way. I am in love with this book and HOLY SMOKES we should all give it a shot!!!!
