Nishino is the man of my dreams.
Is it possible that all of the stories i’ve read was just this one amazing man?!

oh heart, what do i do with you...

Parfait reminded me of M.
“I will never let you go.”

In the Grass reminded me of N.
“Kissing him accepted everything in my fourteen years, we kept kissing fervently.”

Good Night reminded me of E.
“Love? even the word seems too tepid to describe how i felt for him- bessoted, or fervent- less familiar words seem more apt.”

The Heart Races reminded me of D.
“Time is an idiot.” (That breakup by the seashore was so nostalgic and a bit close to home.)

other quotes i loved...
“There was no relief, no chance that I would be capable of extinguishing this passion on my own.”

“My body, my mind, my heart —these all belonged to me. And yet everything that was mine was also entirely his.”

“How do you love someone without blinding yourself?”

I love how i found myself in each of these stories and every chapter, every love of my life unfolded, came back to life, finally putting into words how i felt at those times.

This is it, if I were to write a book, it would be something like this. Because it is what i have inside me, my experiences and all the kinds of love i was blessed with.

I’ve said it before that I really need to write my love stories, in all their shades and glories. The good, heart melting, life changing ones and even the bad, bittersweet, heart and soul breaking ones.

I have wanted so long to be able to put into words everything that i felt and not just to commemorate the person but the feeling and the lessons each one brought to the whole —this book comes close to achieving that.
