Publisher's summary

He was my beginning. And my never-ending.

Ellis

There’s a lot I’ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he’s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless.

Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn’t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn’t mine to keep.

So why, when I finally try to get over him, does he sweep back into town? Why is he upset? Why is there tension between us for the first time in years?

I never saw a future where Lucky could be mine. But now, unless I want to lose my friend, I might not have a choice but to tell the truth. My heart belongs to him. It has from the start.

If only I knew how to hold onto a creature that’s meant to fly.

To Catch a Firefly is a standalone, childhood friends-to-lovers romance told in dual POV. There’s epic levels of pining, a neurodivergent MC with selective mutism, two friends who always come back to one another, glass hearts and romantic declarations, and a HEA beneath the night sky.

This story! 🥰🥲

Loved it all. Such a great story, all the feels! The narration was spot on for each character. Highly recommend.

Awesomely beautiful

My heart was extremely touched by this wonderful, enriching journey of two boys meeting at 10 and immediately bonding. Although life took them in different directions they always found their way back to each other. The old adage that 'if you love something set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be' most definitely fit for this story. Blake Lockheart and Liam DiCosimo are in my top 20 so almost anything they perform I enjoy.

5 stars - worthy of a repeat listen

Perfect

This book broke my heart in slow motion, then put it back together again. I will remember Lucky and Ellis for the rest of my life. This book is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read and I just wish I could have known them more. I would have read a thousand pages of their childhood memories and it never would have been enough. I love, love, love this book and I will never get over it.

Ellis and Lucky brought to life

5 star read. I love this book so much and the narrators did an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. Wonderful neurodivergent representation. Beautiful love story.

Just WOW

My heart is just so full! The amount of tears I’ve shed during this book is overwhelmingly wonderful. The pure love in this book is just so much and not enough. And THE END!! Just listen. It’s beautiful.

And I thought I cried before

Every time I read this book, I cry so when I found out about the audiobook, I knew I had to have it. I’m not one to listen to audiobooks. I much prefer the characters in my imagination but I couldn’t resist. Boy, am I glad I gave in!! Listening to the audiobook as I read along just made everything that much more perfect. I am a literally blubbering mess. Well done.

Stunning

This book was easily top 5 of the year. It’s absolute poetry for the soul. But HEARING it? Oh man. I was so worried how Ellis would be portrayed but Blake 💯 came through for me. His slow cadence was just… ugh. Perfection. This book put me in a slump because nothing hit quite like it, and I can just FEEL the audio doing it as well.
