Publisher's Summary

Grace Lisa Vandenburg counts - the letters in her name (19); the steps she takes every morning to the local café (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 world 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.

started great but lost me halfway

Love that the main character has mental struggles and gives us a lens into their daily challenges. It's also funny and Melbourne references make it interesting too. unfortunately, it goes into splitting the narration into 2 separate Brains and it's extremely hard for me to keep listening to it. After this portion, i lost the story when i listened until the end. really disappointed as i think the book had high potential. this is only my personal experience and i have no doubt many pple will be able to enjoy it all the way through

Enjoyable Australian story of today

I loved the use of the numerical theme to show a variation of an anxious individual’s life. Being based in Southern Australia it was familiar and comfortable even with the difficulties of the main characters life. Enjoyed it all
