I immensely enjoyed this novella. The description promises "a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange" and it delivers!

Imagine you're in an IKEA-esque store, but really just the showroom style part of it. It's confusing and easy to get lost in the cookie cutter yet ridiculously themed rooms. Now imagine you work there and someone has gone missing, and you, low-wage worker with no seniority, are responsible for finding the lost guest. Let chaos and scifi hijinks ensue!

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!

+ 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.
