A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF 2022 AS FEATURED IN TORONTO STAR,
ZOOMER MAGAZINE, AND ON CBC'S ONTARIO MORNING AND GLOBAL TV For
readers who love Mark Haddon, Miriam Toews, and Sally Rooney
Paisley Ratchford is trying to keep it together, but in eight
weeks, the Toronto apartment building she lives in will be
demolished. A last-ditch effort to reclaim her abandoned childhood
home on Amherst Island plunges Paisley into memories of growing up
in the tight-knit community, and into the obsessive compulsive
disorder that has only ever offered a semblance of control. Her
compulsion to count in sets of eight had little effect on thwarting
bullies, her father's bad luck, and her mother's mental illness-all
of which return to haunt her. When help arrives in the form of
Paisley's old classmate and tormentor Garnet Mulligan, her
predicament only worsens. For a shot at a future, Paisley needs to
stare down her past, including all the habits that have stopped her
from thriving. At Last Count is a wise and often laugh-out-loud
funny tale that proves we don't always need to believe everything
our brain tells us.
