The Ten Loves of Mr. Nishino

I found this book captivating and really difficult to describe. I can see how it would be off putting, but I didn't really see it as a book about Nishino, so much as a book about women reckoning with their relationships with a significant romance in their life — it just so happens that all of the women were reflecting on the same romance.

Most of the characters were unlikable in some respects and made decisions that I found difficult to understand — but who hasn't watched a friend in love make inexplicable choices? I've thought about this book quite a lot since I finished it and I expect it'll stick with me for some time.
