I really liked the whole multiverse inside an Ikea-like store concept. I liked that we got to experience some of those worlds. I also found it interesting that the characters we were following were recent exes.
However, I just wished for a bit more. This was really good, just not a new favorite.

Forced proximity with a recent ex/co-worker while jumping between universes! Such a good book that made me laugh, then cry, then laugh again!

It's a very interesting little story and of course I adore the representation, but it just felt rushed, especially towards the ending. It has some grand ideas that could work in a novella or a novel, but this execution just wasn't adequate. For the most part I felt like there wasn't any conflict at all so the plot was bland and dry. I have to admit the ending surprised me though, so I enjoyed the last few minutes.

For someone who has never been to an IKEA, I keep running into books with IKEA reskins and the weird things they do to reality. I'd love to experience it firsthand, but maybe without the employee hive mind trying to kill me.

I immensely enjoyed this novella. The description promises "a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange" and it delivers!
Imagine you're in an IKEA-esque store, but really just the showroom style part of it. It's confusing and easy to get lost in the cookie cutter yet ridiculously themed rooms. Now imagine you work there and someone has gone missing, and you, low-wage worker with no seniority, are responsible for finding the lost guest. Let chaos and scifi hijinks ensue!
