I absolutely loved this book. The main character is heavily autistic coded, and absolutely charming. I adored her from the very start. 

I really enjoyed her matter of fact narration, and the loving attention she put into describing different aspects of the convenience store.

I loved the ending too,
it was so satisfying and nice to see her follow her own wants and let go of neurotypical societal demands and expectations placed on her which she neither agreed with or cared about.


Definitely reccomend :)
