Something is Wrong With Emilia Finch

By Meghan Juliana Bird

"Writing this book was like exhaling after a year of holding my breath and a lifetime of hyperventilating." Nineteen-year-old Emilia Finch leads a charmed life. When she meets a confident boy named Aaron, she asks him out for coffee, wondering if he could be the next chapter in her uneventful life story. After a puzzling date, Emilia begins to spiral into a strange new world of unrequited love and heartbreak. Deep-buried trauma disturbs the fa ade of Emilia's perfect existence and in one summer, Emilia runs away from home and speaks her truth about the abuse she faced at the hands of her unstable mother. Raw and intimate, this debut novel explores the nuances of sexuality, trauma, mental health, heartbreak, and parent-child relationships. Through the poignant voice of Emilia Finch, Something is Wrong With Emilia Finch tells a story for all those teetering on the precipice of adulthood. A coming-of-age novel for all ages, Something is Wrong With Emilia Finch shines a light on the heartbreaking exchange of idealism for resiliency, perfectionism for growth, and girlhood for womanhood.
