Zero Chance of No Regrets

An award-winning, bestselling sensation in Japanese literary fiction: a groundbreaking exploration of desire and shame, fantasy and transgression in the lives of contemporary women

What shapes our desires? What would you risk to fulfil your deepest fantasies? And what happens when we dare to break the rules?

Meet Yui. She’s cooking dinner for her husband and daughter and thinking about her long-lost first love: the beautiful boy from her teenage years who first taught her what it is to feel loved.

Meet Mika. She’s in a desperate bind when she reconnects with the man who was once the hottest boy in school. That golden boy is now almost unrecognisable now – but there’s something about being wanted by him that distracts her from her current heartache…

Meet Kanako. She’s discovered a video of her husband that she was never meant to see, and she’s watching it – over and over again.

Meet Izumi. She’s on her way to sleep with a man who isn’t her husband; a man who repels and attracts her in equal measure, who she will ask to mark her body in new and thrilling ways.

Meet Kako. Her mum is her favourite person in the world: but she’s starting to wonder if Mama might have more secrets than she realised…

An award-winning, bestselling sensation in Japan, Zero Chance of No Regrets is a groundbreaking exploration of first love and first loss, desire and shame, fantasy and transgression.
