Wild Ginger in the Rhubarb is a novella about a butch decorated undercover cop and a femme gin artist with a secret past, and given that very basic premise it could have easily turned dark, but this one doesn’t go there. Instead it’s a lovely, sweet romance between two adorable and somewhat inept individuals who both happen to have the same type of synesthesia, which I thought was really interesting and it was woven into the story well.

At 101 pages it's a super quick read but it didn’t feel rushed, although it didn’t leave a lot of room for backstory and character development. That’s okay, though, since it’s not meant to be a deep and moving story, it’s just good fun with a cute twist.
