This book shocked me out of a reading AND writing drought. Brisk and concise, with a pleasantly wretched POV character and plenty of fun dimensional antics, it was like a shot of caffeine after months of stumbling through grey fog.
The two central characters are exes and their journey through a nightmare not-IKEA only exacerbates their irreconcilable differences, but the wit and charm with which Cipri paints their dreary late-capitalist lot has you rooting for the two of them anyway. A treat, and one I thoroughly recommend.

this was rly fun! finna is an adventurous romp thru the multiverse and im so glad there's finally a sf book that doesnt bore me. this one also has an emotional core w/ relatable - albeit sometimes annoying - characters. the satire on corporate culture and the harsh grind under capitalism are hilarious yet sobering, and cipri rlu takes advantage of the endless possibilities of settings here, filling it w/ murderous furnitures, corporate zombies, and badass old captains. i'll def be reading the sequel.

Ikea DOES feel like a liminal space and that's the jumping off point for a fun but emotional sci fi adventure.
