Description
Grace's life is structured around a strict routine - she wakes up at the same time every day, flosses a set number of times each morning, and takes the same steps to her favourite cafe. Her daily rituals are precise, with even the smallest details accounted for. However, when her usual table becomes unavailable, her carefully constructed world is disrupted. This change forces Grace to confront the limitations of her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which has led to her losing her job and feeling increasingly isolated. As she begins therapy and medication, she starts to question the societal expectations placed upon individuals with OCD. The novel explores the complexities of mental health, challenging readers to reevaluate their assumptions about those who manage their lives differently. A thought-provoking and humorous exploration of identity, routine, and the human experience, "Addition" is a smart and engaging read that invites readers to consider the value of individuality and the importance of embracing imperfection.
