Goodbye Tsugumi was not, at least for me, the best book by Banana Yoshimoto. But, it wasn't bad either. The story was nicely structured and it was interesting how it was presented. However, I've found it a bit boring and tiring to read at times. I guess it wasn't that intriguing. So, three stars out of five.
