[MISFIRE] Episode 2: Be Different And Be Damned - Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

Revolver Reads: Book Club Russian Roulette

Don't you love a story that is short and sweet? Because we sure do.
It's too bad we joined Kiko's less-than-pleasant journey of self-discovery as she combated waves of self-doubt, a determined stalker, and burdensome familial expectations. Also, let's not forget the highly unexpected and highly suggestive (🌶️🌶️🌶️) surprise at the end of this novel that left us all reeling.
So, was Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman short? Yes. Sweet. Absolutely not. Did we still enjoy it? Hell yes.
So please, grab a snack and a drink of your choice and join us in our most recent Misfire Episode.
As a heads up, this was recorded roughly a year ago in anticipation that we may need an emergency episode. Rebecca is currently on holiday for A Major Life Event so she requested a break. However, we are just giving you all a warning our topics/related books/audio might be a little backdated. Thanks for being patient with us!
This podcast includes topics may not be suitable for everyone. This novel has a number of triggers that we may be discussing or briefly touching upon.
