The Employment Experiment - Post Press

When the chronically unemployed Ica accidentally lands a job at a neighborhood bookshop, things quickly get out of hand. Between performing literary girl respectability and pretending to understand the inventory system, Ica learns that even the most romantic jobs are still jobs - equal parts charm and chore.

A standalone story from the Aca & Ica universe, The Employment Experiment follows Ica on her first solo journey, told through cig-stained humor and catastrophic wit.
