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).

This is a very quick read/ listen and it is definitely adventurous and funny but there is a lot that goes underdeveloped.

Amazing job in terms of diverse characters and intersectionality. One of the main characters (Jules) for example, is a neurodivergent black, nonbinary child of immigrants.

Speaking of Jules, I related to them so much especially with their constant “that’s so cool!” with their mind going from one thing to another, and how they feel they always mess things up.

Short books are perfectly fine and while we did learn enough to get a picture of who Ava and Jules are, we knew they’d been in a relationship and why they broke up but I still for the most part could not establish any sort of dynamic between them other than their connection through work and bickering recently broken up partners.

I like how the ending is left open in this case which is something that does not always feel right to me. I definitely would read a sequel or other related book.

Also completely unrelated to my rating, I was laughing reading the reviews and how almost everyone mentioned Ikea yet I completely was oblivious to that having been the setting 😅. I know of Ikea and think I have been to one once but don’t remember much.

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
