Episode Synopsis

For our final book of the year, Ronnie picked Sayaka Murata's: Convenience Store Woman. A novel about a Keiko, a neurodivergent woman who only wants to fit in with society and to keep working at the convenience store she is employed at. However, societal pressures from coworkers, bosses, friends, and family force her to make changes she isn't ready for. This book is an interesting way to look at society and see how its foundations treat people that don't fit the traditional mold.
