Convenience Store Woman was on my radar. I worked in a convenience store in high school…you see all kinds of strange stuff. But, I’m not sure it’s something I would like. I definitely won’t pay for it and try to get it through my library on overdrive. Then if I don’t like it, it isn’t a huge loss.

In reply to Angela. When things slow down this summer, i've been thinking I'd like to try another Pagan book. I'll keep Forever in mind.

As I was reading your description of Convenience Woman, I kept thinking, she’s probably on the spectrum and then saw you thought the same. I have heard about this book (mainly from Anne Bogel’s podcast) and and torn because I like books about different people than me (different cultures, especially) but I am not crazy about books that take weird, unbelievable turns. I think after reading your review, I may just have to skip this one! Thanks!

Woman Last Seen was ~meh~ for me. The characters were tiresome and many of the situations I found unbelievable.

The other two are definitely off my radar. I’m leery of any book in translation. As I was reading your review of Convenience Store Woman the word “Asperger’s” came to mind. Too many really good books out there.

I enjoyed another book I read by Camille Pagan, Forever is the Worst Long Time, so I may have to check out Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties. It does sound like a relatable book and main character.
