ADDING UP TO LOVE

Ginny B. Moore

Adding Up To Love

When Alex asked for Fern’s help courting her twin, he agreed to help her get into Oxford, but he didn’t expect to fall in love with the wrong sister.

Fern loved nothing more than math. Relating more to numbers than to people, she dreamed of becoming a mathematician at Oxford University, an impossible path for the youngest daughter of a powerful aristocrat. After living her life in her sister Rose’s shadow, a chance encounter with a handsome student gives her the opportunity to chase her dream. Falling in love with Alex was not part of the equation.

Alex did not believe in love at first sight until he met his perfect match at a masquerade. Marrying Rose would be the smart choice and give him the future he always dreamed of — if only he hadn’t fallen for her quirky, brilliant sister. With his plans in jeopardy, Alex realizes that doing what is smart is not always what is best.

Now he can’t stop thinking about the woman he wasn’t supposed to notice, and their lives together won’t add up. Will a future with Alex be the one problem Fern cannot solve?

ABOUT GINNY

Ginny MooreGinny was the kid who loved kissing scenes in movies and always rooted for Mulder and Scully to hook up. Her first piece of writing, a horrendous fanfic romance based on The Three Musketeers when she was thirteen, will never see the light of day.

Ginny started writing romance with purpose in 2021 to avoid doom-scrolling social media and has never stopped. To pay the bills, she is a middle school assistant principal and has been in education for fifteen years. She has earned two master’s degrees, one in secondary education and another in school leadership. Most of her writing is done on her phone or in the parking lot of her kids’ extracurricular activities.

When she is not writing, Ginny is a very slow long-distance runner or making a dent in her endless “to be read” list. She is the mother of three kids, two exceptionally stupid dogs, two codependent cats, and the grandmother to a hermit crab.

While she started writing during the pandemic, she has found it to be a new lifeline and form of self-care and has already planned her next five books in the series. If you enjoy reading about Fern and Alex in Adding Up to Loveyou’ll love Our Path to the Stars (Violet’s story) and Where You Are (Lord Henry’s story), both coming in 2023. Rose’s story (Finding North) is coming in the spring of 2024, and Lily and Marigold will have stories later next year.

A pickle-loving industrial designer sets out to prove that the only man worthy of her younger sister is their cute-AF childhood best friend. Forced proximity/one-bed/friends-to-lovers awesomeness ensues in this romantic comedy novella.

Winnie’s sister Nancy is engaged to The Wrong Person. Anyone who isn’t Steven Yi is The Wrong Person. He’s a cute, silly doctor with a crisp, yummy voice, and the two of them were born in the same hospital on the same day. How much clearer could the Universe be?

A recovering divorcee, Winnie knows all too well what it means to marry badly. She’ll do anything to prove that Steven is The Only Person for Nancy, even if she has to throw them together over and over again herself. But her plotting pulls her closer to Steven, close enough where she begins to suspect that The Only Wrong Person is her. She could be happy, so much happier than she is now … but is it worth risking a life-long friendship and utter heartbreak?

Hint: Yes, yes it is. HEA guaranteed!

REVIEW

20230213_205526858_iOS

An utterly delightful novella by a new-to-me author, Double Happiness lives up to its title by delivering a funny and low-conflict friends-to-lovers story that’s filled with witty banter between lovable characters. A true rom-com. 

As an older sister, I related so much to Winnie and her “I know best” attitude. She wasn’t overbearing at all. Everything she did came from a place of caring. I love her and Nancy’s relationship. It reminds me of the same closeness between my younger sister and me.

I was charmed by Steven. He was adorable. Jen wrote him so well. Despite not knowing his POV, the reader can tell his feelings through the dialogue.

Jen incorporated Chinese wedding traditions so seamlessly into the story. The groom’s challenges in the wedding door games were highly creative and really hilarious. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read and will now catch up on Jen Trinh’s book catalog.
