Grace Lisa Vandenburg counts. The letters in her name (19). The steps she takes every morning to the local cafe (920); the number of poppy seeds on her slice of orange cake, which dictates the number of bites she'll take to finish it. Grace counts everything, because numbers hold the worlds together. And she needs to keep an eye on how they're doing. Seamus Joseph O'Reilly (also a 19, with the sexiest hands Grace has ever seen) thinks she might be better off without the counting. If she could hold down a job, say. Or open her kitchen cupboards without conducting an inventory, or make a sandwich containing an unknown number of sprouts. Grace's problem is that Seamus doesn't count. Her other problem is...... he does. Addition is the bestselling debut novel of Toni Jordan, author of Fall Girl and Nine Days. Grace is witty, flirtatious and headstrong. She's not a bit sentimental but even so, she may be about to lose track of the number of ways she can fall in love. 'A winning love story, a sorbet for tired souls.' Age

Addition is Toni Jordan's memorable debut novel about Grace, once a teacher but now unemployed and essentially housebound. Grace spends her days counting everything, from the number of bristles in her toothbrush to how many steps she takes to and from her house to her local cafe. She needs to count and it has become the primary focus of her life, consuming it completely. Counting everything is what keeps her grounded and yet she has lost her job and is on a disability pension, her social life is non-existent and until she meets Seamus she is very unwilling to leave the house, even to see visit her family. This book is insightful, hard to put down and not easy to forget.
