Addition: A charming and uplifting comedy about finding love without losing yourself
by Toni Jordan'A moving and intelligent comedy about finding love without losing yourself.' Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie ProjectGrace 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 orange cake, which dictates the number of bites she'll take to eat it. Grace counts everything, because that way there are no unpleasant surprises. Seamus Joseph O'Reilly (also a 19) thinks she might be better off without the counting. If she could hold down a job, say. Or open her cupboards without conducting an inventory, or leave her flat without measuring the walls. Grace's problem is that Seamus doesn't count. Her other problem is . . . he does. As Grace struggles to balance a new relationship with old habits, to find a way to change while staying true to herself, she realises that nothing is more chaotic than love.

Adela ist eine junge Frau, deren monotones Leben auf den Kopf gestellt wird, als sie einen leidenschaftlichen, attraktiven und interessanten Mann trifft, mit dem sie endlich “Ich liebe dich” zu sagen lernt. Adela wird sich aber auch bewusst, dass das Leben immer für eine Überraschung gut ist und nicht immer eine angenehme und dass das Konzept "für immer" und das Wort “Zeit” eine andere Bedeutung annehmen können. Adela lebt eine atypische Liebesgeschichte, aus der, nach einer katastrophalen ersten Begegnung und anfänglichen Hindernissen, eine Beziehung mit dem Mann wird, in den sie sich verliebt hat. Nach einigen Monaten Beziehung kommt eine neue Phase, in der sie sich einer unerwarteten und noch nie durchlebten Situation stellen muss, was sie dazu bringen wird, Entscheidungen zu treffen, die ihr Leben verändern werden. Adela lernt zu verstehen, dass in der Liebe die Grenzen nicht existieren und dass es, egal wie viele Steine einem in den Weg gelegt werden, immer eine Lösung gibt, auch wenn es manchmal nicht die Gewünschte ist. Sie versucht, so sehr wie möglich eine Liebe zu bewahren, von der sie fühlt, dass sie ihr nach und nach entgleitet, bis sie an einen Punkt kommt, an dem sie sich entscheiden muss, ob sie nach vorne blickt und sich verabschiedet oder sich weiter an der Vergangenheit festklammert. Begleite Adela auf dieser persönlichen Reise, bei der sie sich selbst ins Gesicht sehen muss, während ihre Ängste, Wünsche und Prioritäten den Kurs ändern, um neuen Erfahrungen Platz zu machen, die ihr am Ende ein neues Leben ermöglichen.
