Ava and Jules just broke up, but they still have to work together at a big box IKEA knockoff. What makes it even more awkward is that they were the two employees chosen (AKA forced) to retrieve an old woman who, against all odds, slipped through a wormhole in the store and into another universe. In a trip that is WAY above their minimum-wage paygrade, the pair must battle carnivorous furniture, an army of clones, and their confusing feelings for each other during their mission. It's really a relationship story set against a science fiction backdrop, exploring self-doubt, wanderlust, love, trust, and identity. But it's also a quick, fun, and adventurous read. Recommended for fans of IKEA and Tor.com's awesome novella series.
