 This is a novella and is fast paced, but didn’t feel overly rushed to me and had lots of action and room for character development. The story delves into Ava’s anxiety and Jules’ neurodivergence and how these aspects affected their relationship and leads to some great conversations and internal monologues on these points. We get to see a few unique worlds full of cool sci-fi bits, lots of humorous moments, and an emotional ending that did make me cry (as a disclaimer though that’s not exactly hard to do).

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!

This is so outside of my typical comfort zone that I don’t even know how to review this but I will say it was a very unique premise , intriguing, a unique and well done read that reads very quick. I enjoyed the descriptions of the different realms and I think it ended nicely. There were parts that I wished went into more detail but overall I thought it was a really fun book
