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.

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.

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

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. 😊

Lucky Blue!!!

I loved the story this author brought to life between these two characters. The pining! And omg… Ellis is the absolute best! The way he loves lucky and to see the world through his eyes is just beautiful.

Everything!

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

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

Loved!

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

Stunningly Beautiful!

Started listening at 11:00PM, and could not stop listening. So needless to say did not sleep, but it was well worth it!

The relationship and love of these two boys into manhood was so poignant and lovely. It was not without it angst, and at times I became so agitated over the fear and lack of communication I wanted to scream, but finally their courage overruled their fear.

The performances were stellar!!!

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.

Fantastic story!💜

This love story was brilliantly written with some very moving and emotional moments. I absolutely loved these characters and the stories behind them.
The way they connected on a level not many get to experience in their lifetime was so incredible.
The narration was amazing. These two narrators did a fantastic job complimenting each other and were perfectly suited for this story.
This story was a bit longer than I preferred, however, I never got bored and I couldn’t wait to read the next page.
I highly recommend this book!
