The predictable heartbreaks of Imogen Finch : a novel / by Firkins, Jacqueline,author.;
"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 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. 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" --

He was the boy next door as they were growing up. And he's also been the boy in love with Gabby since high school. But neither of them have been willing to cross the Friend Zone. Even as the sisters intercept Dear Amelia's letters and conspire to help play Cupid in their small Massachusetts town, they still seem to be moving in separate directions. Margaret is using her job to escape family time, and Emma is determined not to put down permanent roots. So Gabby still has her work cut out for her. But it's TJ who has the biggest task of all. He has to get Gabby to see him in a different light. He's ready to take things with Gabby to the next level before he's left wondering what if for the rest of his life"--
