Finna

Finna, Book 1

De: Nino Cipri

Narrado por: Amanda Dolan

Nino 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.

Whimsical adventure

This was an amazing story. It had thrills, adventure, strange happenings, and a non romance love story. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire (too short) story.

a short yet great and creative story

honestly I could read a much much longer story with these two going through different worlds. the idea is so fun and the characters are great. I really hope there's more!!

Wonderfully Funny and Suspensful

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it would be interesting, but it was much more than that.

Interesting world, I'd like more!

I bought this on the enthusiasm of some reviewers and it's Hugo and Nebula noms. I found the concept interesting, and enjoyed the characters, angst and all. I'd be interested in reading a followup if they decide to write one.
The narration was fine overall, though it could have stood some editing where there were some slightly long breaks that took you a little out of the flow.

Stuck in Ikea (but not)

This is a fun, quick listen about two exes who must work together to find a missing granny who fell through a wormhole that suddenly opened in their Big Box Swedish furniture store. A great look at relationships, being honest with yourself and finding what really matters in this universe - and others. Ava (she/her) and Jules (they/them) had enough issues to break up, but can they work together to find the missing customer... and maybe find themselves in the process?
