Addition
Author(s): Toni Jordan
Review(s):
“How will Grace Lisa handle change? The messiness of falling in love? One thing is sure. You can count on an amusing few hours with this debut novel.”
“[A] spunky debut…Addition is witty fun…Number of times I laughed out loud: 23” (3 ½ out of 4 Stars)
“Grace Lisa Vandenburg’s self-described ‘counting thing’ goes far beyond a charming quirk. Often funny, always lovable, this endearing novel of obsessive compulsive disorder and romance is outstanding.” (Pick of the Week)
“Count on a good read from a fresh voice.”
“Jordan’s book is not just about a woman with OCD. It is, of course, also about fitting in, about accepting ourselves and our loved ones as they are, about coping, compromise and conformity. The writing is witty and quick.”
“The turns this tale takes, by its final few pages, leave you breathless. Once you begin the story inside, this love story that’s unlike any you’ve read before, you’ll be turning pages long after you should’ve called lights out.”
“A witty heroine with a crippling case of obsessive-compulsive disorder is at the center of this gemlike debut-think The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. A smartly written comedy that cheekily suggests recovery may not be for everyone.”
“A poignant love story with a truly original heroine.”
“A delight of a debut novel. Toni Jordan has created an unforgettable heroine, charming, vulnerable and real.”
“In her insistence on holding fast to the parts of herself she likes best, Grace challenges concepts of illness and health, brokenness and wholeness. I love her for this, and for the way she aches, bristles, back talks, and shines her way toward an off-kilter equilibrium, a ramshackle splendor.”

“Often funny, always lovable, this endearing novel of obsessive compulsive disorder and romance is outstanding.”
—Boston Globe
An absolutely delightful tale of obsessive-compulsive love, Toni Jordan’s Addition is just the ticket for fans of TV’s Monk and readers who were captivated by The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. A wonderfully funny, supremely intelligent debut novel, Addition is “witty fun” (People), while OCD-afflicted heroine Grace and her new-found paramour Seamus are “thoroughly endearing characters, and their romance is sweet and fun” (Washington Post Book World).
