I feel like the premise of this book was really fun but it was too short and underdeveloped for me to get into it. I wanted to see follow up of them doing more things, going to more universes,  the impact of
Ursula being swapped with Captain Nouresh

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.

Every world has its monsters.

Okay, that? That was super fun. I’m going to be diving into the second book as soon as I get my grubby little hands on it.

Finna follows two recently broken-up exes as they have to travel through the multiverse to find an elderly grandmother, who slipped through a wormhole while exploring an IKEA-like store. I feel like giving any more away would be spoiling, but I found this short novella about personal growth, retail hell, and monsters very entertaining and thought-provoking. Plus, it's queer.

LitenVärld accepts no responsibility or liability for any losses or injuries that wormholes incur, since they fall under the Act of God clauses on our employee insurance.
