なぜ + ないこともなかった, what is this double negative?


> でも正直なぜ裕子さんだけと思わないこともなかった

I am very confused about this use of ないこともなかった.

What exactly is it trying to say?

I don't understand the double negative. "I also never happened that I didn't
think"?




思わないこともなかった is roughly the same as 思わないことはなかった. It is a double negative
expression, "it's not that I did not think" or "admittedly I thought". For
this も, see: [Meaning of も in
そんなの珍しくもない](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/65646/5010)
