Finna, by Nino Cipri
Jun. 16th, 2021 05:11 pmA fun novella, about two people who work at a store that is Definitely Not Ikea, and are job-required to go searching through a wormhole into other realities to find a missing customer. It's got an anticapitalist vibe of "wow does it suck to work retail in an environment with no worker protections" but without like, beating you over the head with the moral, which made for a solid underpinning of the actual events of the book. The various alternate universes visited are lots of fun to see. And the relationship explored in the work is of a sort I don't know that I've ever seen having focus in a novel(la) before: two people who used to date and are trying to figure out how to be friends now. I really enjoyed this relationship!
Not a book that impacted me deeply, but one that was thoroughly enjoyable.
