Em is confused about a lot of things: who she is, what she wants, how she's going to pass Alchemy when she's terrible at it. The one thing she's not confused about? Her desire to buy her best friend (and college roommate) the best birthday present ever. Luckily, the local magic supply shop is hiring.
Her plan to get a job there would be working perfectly if not for her coworker Phineas who is in turns aggravating and endearingly awkward. She's not sure if she wants to date him or wants to be him. The more time they spend together, the more she thinks it may be both.
Help Wanted is an 18,000 word novella with a gender questioning and questioning asexual f/m romance. It is the first in a new series about students at a contemporary magic college.
