The obsession by Preeti Shenoy

"The obsession" by Preeti Shenoy - Quick!

This ebook is published by Westland in 2017. It’s a single short story.

Arrival of a beautiful, curvy girl with waist length hair in library in Norwich, UK, causes a storm of emotions in one of the employee. She reminds him of his ex-girlfriend. 

Why is the employee stirred? What will he do?

The story is short and simple.  It also has the customary twist at the end that makes it dark. The problem is that it’s too short. By the time it picks up, it’s over. Author huffs and puffs to accommodate it in limited number of words. Author could have accorded herself the luxury of a few dozen more lines to make it more impactful. 

Why did I read this book? Author.
What did I like? Set-up.
What I didn't like? Length, predictable. 

Read if you are looking for a very quick read while standing in a short queue.
