Finna
by Nino Cipri
Thanks to Tor.com for the free advance copy of this book.
Ava and Jules are sales associates at an IKEA-like store, and they have just broken off their relationship. The first day they see each other at work again, an elderly shopper wanders into a wormhole that has opened in one of their showrooms. Naturally, Ava and Jules are selected to travel the multiverse together to find her.
FINNA is only about 100 pages long, but it packs a whole lot into those pages. It's hilarious while also taking aim at capitalism, and it's effortlessly diverse in terms of gender, sexuality, and race.
The parallel universes Ava and Jules find themselves in are wonderfully inventive, and the post-breakup arguments and conversations between them are heartbreakingly real. FINNA is full of love, action, and sticking it to the man.
I do wish it was longer! I would have loved to spend more time on a few things referenced in passing, particularly Ava's anxiety and depression. I'm definitely looking forward to picking up HOMESICK, Cipri's collection of short stories from 2019.
