Imogen Finch has long since accepted she will never come first. Whether its elementary school sports, an art contest she was a shoo-in to win, or a friendly game of trivia at the local bar-- Imogen's mother (a sometimes oracle) accurately predicted her daughter's two decade long losing streak. So its no surprise when all of her seventeen relationship end because the other person found someone... better. However, when the long-lost third leg of her friend trio finally returns home after years of vagabonding, Imogen may finally have the encouragement she needs to break her second-place curse.

Personally, my favorite romances are the ones that end on a more realistic note (warning: HEA not to be found at the end of this story) but are still so achingly satisfying. All the characters in this story are well developed and utterly lovable, and Imogen and Eliot are just the right amount of infuriating to make everything that much sweeter. And the setting? I would love to find myself a member of their tight-knit coastal community. THE PREDICTABLE HEARTBREAKS OF IMOGEN FINCH has a little bit of everything for everybody. It's a little steamy, a little funny, a little tender, and a little magical-- and definitely worth a try.
