This book was so freaking funny, especially in the way it presented the goofiness of a furniture store with profit as its main goal. At times it was ridiculous but in a very endearing way. Our two characters were lovely and the love and hurt between them came through the page.
I love that this takes place in a future version of Ikea and uses the mundane store concept to make t the perfect place for wormholes to appear. Ironically, I wanted to spend more time with the 'Ikea' corporate system just to experience more of their banality and subtle evilness. To me the story loses focus and what makes it special the moment we travel to different multiverses that are a little TOO different from the evils of capitalism. I kind of wish we had had more worlds that were representative of the different way capitalism can ruin us all.
The book also loses its thread during the third act. It felt very much "blue beam at the end of an MCU movie" and some of the character choices were not very clear. I do not mind an open ending, but there were decisions made by characters (the grandma) that simply did not make sense.
Overall a fun time that I think most people would really enjoy!
