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.

The Quiet One

I absolutely love Elis being on the spectrum. Even though he doesn't say much, his presence and intentions are loud and clear. And Lucky? I adore how he just "gets" Elis and they have that unspoken communication. Totes adorbs and they tickled my happy feelings. 😊

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.

Beautiful story

This is a beautiful heartfelt story that will stay with me for a very long time. It’s a story about 2 child hood friends growing into adulthood.
The narrators were amazing at bringing these special characters to life.
I highly recommend this book.

Best Romance Ever

The relationship between Ellis and Lucky is by far the most heart wrenching, heartbreaking and purest love story I have ever read. It pulled me in to the point that when I had to run errands, I immediately bought the audible version so I wouldn't have to miss even a moment. Smiles and tears and gut-wrenching perfection in every chapter. Thank you for bringing this story to life. It was beautiful and I am so very glad that I took a chance on it.

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.
