a really entertaining read! loved the portrayal of jules and ava's relationship. the painfully awkward and  raw post-breakup times were really well-written. and the description of litenvärld which sounds like a potent corporate-flavoured mix of ikea and meow wolf's omega mart. kinda wish the book was longer so that we could all learn more about the litenverse and am i so glad about defekt's existence!

Spoiler + i'm not going to pretend that i am So Normal about ambiguous/open endings. they leave you stranded on a cliff above what if sea but the view is so so sexy!!!! like this ending. when i got to the chapter where ava went to jules' i was terrified that it'd be deus ex machinaed with them coming out of a wormhole but no. instead the story tenderly hands the reins to ava. which says something VERY LOUDLY about the theme of fate, relationships, and character development, etc.
food for thought

This is a deeply fun sci-fi novella. The queerness present throughout the story was a delight, and I really appreciated the anti-capitalist tones throughout the story.

Queer recent-exes working at an IKEA(ish) and being forced to search for an elderly customer who wandered into a wormhole in the store, traveling through fucked up alternate dimension IKEAs and coming to terms with the end of their relationship in the process? Hell yeah dude are you kidding?? This rules.

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

Read as part of the 2023 Trans Rights Readathon. 

A better version of Hendrix's Horrorstör, easy to read and featuring loveable characters in a multiverse that has me wanting more. While it was fairly surface-level anticapitalist, I love the concept and really wish it was a bit longer. The casual queerness was great and the light yearning between the two main characters had me really emotional especially at the ending.
