Jacqueline Firkins's The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch is
a beautiful story of friendship, and second chances at love. Imogen
Finch has just been through her seventeenth breakup. She saw it
coming, so she's not as crushed as she might be, but with all
seventeen of her exes leaving her for other partners, she's come to
believe a prediction her well-intentioned and possibly clairvoyant
mother made over twenty years ago: that Imogen would never come
first at anything or to anyone. Is her love life failing due to a
magical curse? Insufficient effort? Poor timing or personality
mismatches? Everyone has opinions on the matter. Imogen's ready to
give up altogether. But when Eliot Swift, her secret high school
crush, returns to their small coastal town after a decade of
nomadic travels, Imogen has new motivation to try again. Eliot's
full of encouragement. He suggests that her curse is not only
imagined, it's easily breakable. All they need is one win--any
win--and she can believe in love, and in herself again. From trivia
games to swimming races to corn-shucking contests, the pair sets
out to snag Imogen her first first. But when victory proves more
elusive than Eliot anticipated, and when his deep-seeded wanderlust
compels him to depart for far away places, Imogen fears she's
destined to remain in second place forever. Fortunately for them
both, sometimes magic lingers in the most unexpected places. And
love is far from predictable.
