Jacqueline Firkins\'s The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch is a beautiful story of friendship, and second chances at love.
And love is far from predictable..
Fortunately for them both, sometimes magic lingers in the most unexpected places.
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.
From trivia games to swimming races to corn-shucking contests, the pair sets out to snag Imogen her first first.
All they need is one win-- any win--and she can believe in love, and in herself again.
He suggests that her curse is not only imagined, it\'s easily breakable.
Eliot\'s full of encouragement.
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.
Imogen\'s ready to give up altogether.
Is her love life failing due to a magical curse? Insufficient effort? Poor timing or personality mismatches? Everyone has opinions on the matter.
She saw it coming, so she\'s not as crushed as she might be, but with all sixteen 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.
Imogen Finch has just been through her seventeenth breakup.
