“A magical anti-capitalist adventure.” —Annalee NewitzNino Cipri's Finna is a rambunctious, touching story that blends all the horrors the multiverse has to offer with the everyday awfulness of low-wage work. It explores queer relationships and queer feelings, capitalism and accountability, labor and love, all with a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange.When an elderly customer at a Swedish big box furniture store — but not that one — slips through a portal to another dimension, it’s up to two minimum-wage employees to track her across the multiverse and protect their company’s bottom line. Multi-dimensional swashbuckling would be hard enough, but those two unfortunate souls broke up a week ago.To find the missing granny, Ava and Jules will brave carnivorous furniture, swarms of identical furniture spokespeople, and the deep resentment simmering between them. Can friendship blossom from the ashes of their relationship? In infinite dimensions, all things are possible.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"This was actually quite fun! Solid 3.5, but since my main complaint was that it was too short, I felt it was only fair to round it up. The concept is pretty spot on (who hasn’t gotten lost in Ikea? Or, sorry, the fake version in the book) and it also nails the drudgery of working in a place like that (I will NEVER go back to retail if I can help it).<br/><br/>All the being said, I feel like we’ve barely gotten a taste of the multiverse here, but I’m happy to see that there is more in the works!"

"The idea behind this story was pretty neat, but the characters felt flat and the central conflict seemed too easily resolved. Even at the end of the book I couldn't really see what Ava and Jules had ever seen in each other, and every other character except maybe the captain were little more than stereotypes. <br/><br/>A fun adventure but it left me wishing for something more complex."
