Relationships can be fruitful, tricky, stressful and at times deadly. How do you like yours? From chance encounters between familiar strangers, to using connections to get closer to forbidden fruit-- Unacceptable Behavior explores the nuance found in varying types of interpersonal dealings. This is NOT a collection of love stories however. This compilation of thirteen tales, show the way love, lust and/or intrigue, can directly influence our lives via decisions. Both good and bad. In his debut offering, Jsin Graham, looks to provide a little something for everyone with this set. Using an array of characters, scenes, settings, and moods to paint a picture of everyday life with a side of extra sprinkled in. Unacceptable Behavior on its face, is a project meant to mirror the unpredictable nature of life. And with the diverse stories found in its pages, this new scribe is hoping to deliver the same. An unpredictable (but enjoyable) ride.
Unacceptable Behavior contains 13 stories that are relatable and enjoyable. I like how the characters are all somehow connected; in the short stories a small network is created and you just want to immerse yourself in their development and stories they each have to tell. What I liked and hated (in a good way) most about these stories are that they end in cliffhangers. I like cliffhanger endings because you can use your imagination to end the story based on what was presented in the pages you just read, but what I hate are that the stories end right as it’s getting good. While cliffhangers allow you to conclude the stories as you see fit, you’re left wanting to know how each was actually supposed to end. All around I thoroughly enjoyed reading the tales that Jsin crafted in his debut book. Can’t wait to read Psycho.

This introductory was well written. Each short story left me wanting more words from this author. Basil... 😏 I’m waiting patiently for this characters story.
