Intéressant de voir 10 points de vue différents sur un seul personnage. Par contre, je n'ai pas trop compris le "but" du livre. On se sent triste pour Nishino, mais je ne comprends pas trop ce que l'auteur voulait faire paraitre. Petite lecture légère, correcte.

The short-stories in this book made me feel the same as Helen Oyeyemi’s ’What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours’: each of the stories had interesting stories and premises and would’ve liked to stay with them longer. I did dislike Nishino from the start and am not interested in themes considering sex. Although the translation felt wonky from time to time, I’m interested in reading more of the authors work!

Não recomendo a versão portuguesa porque a tradução é péssima. De qualquer forma, o livro é muito curioso graças à fantástica escrita da autora. Não entendo (e acho que é propositado) o fascínio destas mulheres pelo senhor Nishino, uma vez que é um humano atroz. Talvez só tenha mesmo um ótimo sentido de oportunidade.

Not really my cup of tea. Nishino remains an enigma throughout, which is likely the point, and fine as far as it goes, but I also I never felt any connection to the 10 loves of his life. I just didn't care.

loved it chewed it slayed it - the woman at the cutest book store in the world said i would love it and SHE WAS RIGHT!!! i was expecting a bit more self reflection bits as jlit usually makes me want to think about myself more than the actual character’s lives but sooo many pretty quotes and sweet and sad stories i can’t wait to read people from my neighborhood and NEEEEDDD to read the nanako thrift shop soon
