Just finished I Am Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell. Among the rave reviews, I found one that was not quite so glowing: Bookslut.

I appreciated Kilmer-Purcell's clean copy, sharp dialogue and deceptively simple structure, but I wasn't crazy about this book. My professor Wesley Gibson always urged the use of "vertical moments", or going deep inside the character to give context to the book's events and why they unfold as they do. This book could've used more vertical moments and more nuanced reasoning for why Kilmer-Purcell's life was what it was. An amusing and quick read, but not particularly meaningful.
