Jules Wernersbach's new novel 'Work to Do' offers an energetic look at queer entrepreneurship. The book mostly takes place in a supermarket. It shows how dramatic such a place can be.

Wernersbach weaves different themes into the story. It is about gay entrepreneurship. It is also about climate change and class conflicts. The main characters try to make their shop more sustainable. At the same time, they struggle with financial problems. They also face social tensions.

The book shows that entrepreneurship for gay people is not always easy. Wernersbach writes about real obstacles entrepreneurs face. Staff problems, difficult customers, and sustainability choices. These are all issues real entrepreneurs struggle with.

The novel shows that a supermarket can be much more. It is a place where different mentalities clash. Where people from different social classes meet. Large social themes happen in small moments.
