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.

Love Ellis & Lucky

Emmy Sanders has done it again. I absolutely loved this book. Adored Ellis & Lucky sooo much. Their friendship was so special. And their HEA was well earned. Everyone needs to read this book! Amazing narration by Blake Lockheart & Liam DiCosimo

All the feels

This was such a cute book. Emmy Sanders did such a great job capturing love in all its forms. A beautiful friendship that turns into love. It gave me all the feels.

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.

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.

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.

There are no words for this perfection

This experience will go down as one of the greats. Love is such a beautiful thing. You felt it with every word in this book and felt it deeper with this amazing performance. Highly recommend! Just do it, stop reading and do it.

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

Everything!

This book was everything!! The story was amazing and the narrators were perfection! Loved everything about this!

Loved!

I absolutely love this book, the narration was awesome and added even more emotion to this already emotional book.

beautiful story

I really enjoyed this book. I think that you could feel the connection between the two main characters so well. it was written in such a way that their connection, Their bond just bled through the page.
I think it was realistic and made sense that Lucky had other people in his life but was never serious with any of them. He never actually believed that anything would happen with Ellis, so it didn't bother me that he found physical connections with other people while still holding on to his emotional connection to Ellis. I personally liked that Dani went from being a co-worker to a friend with benefits to the person who guided him back to Ellis. Dani made him see that he needed to be brave and say what he was feeling, and I liked that he was still able to hold on to that friendship with Dani even when him and Ellis got together.
My only, very small issue with this book, was that the miscommunication between the 2 of them got dragged out a little longer than it should have, but otherwise, this is a beautiful story of best friends/soulmates to lovers.

I think both narrators really understood their individual characters. And portrayed them so well and with so much feeling and emotion that it brought this book to another level.
