THE TEN LOVES OF MR NISHINO – HIRAMI KAWAKAMI

**Spoilers Ahead, Read On With Caution** Earlier this year, like right before the world went to shit, we set up a challenge in our shop.

With authors like Samantha Young, Christina Lauren, and Sally Thorne reviewing it as golden humour and romantic wit, I knew I needed to read it, and thankfully Piatkus published for the UK. Plus it has an adorable cover that draws you in!
