Genre: Speculative Fiction.

When an elderly customer at a big box furniture store 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 our two unfortunate souls broke up a week ago.

Can friendship blossom from the ashes of a relationship? In infinite dimensions, all things are possible.

A quirky and eventually really delightful read, lightly making fun of one of the Western world’s favourite big box stores. Should be fun for anyone who likes clever light fiction, perhaps a little like Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, with less fantasy.

Please be warned: it doesn’t have very high ratings on Goodreads 🙃 It’s a quick read, so if it wastes your time, I’m not to blame — but feel free to put your complaints in writing x

Rated: 7/10.
