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.

Story of Ellis and Lucky

This is a best friends to lovers romance, featuring Ellis Cole and Lucky Buchanan, and is a standalone book. I was hesitant to jump into this one because I thought it would be too sad. Fortunately for me my new book buddy recommended it, thanks Kamryn.

Ellis and Lucky meet when they are 10 years old, when Lucky’s family moves in next door. This story is about their growing friendship and them finding their way to each other. Swoon!

I was so glad I gave this book time because omg it is absolute perfection. Emmy Sanders has done such a phenomenal job bringing these two characters to life. I pretty much sat up all night reading as time just slipped away and I was completely engrossed in the story.

I seriously squealed with happiness about 50% in. Won’t give any spoilers but I will say READ THIS BOOK, you will love it.

I also listened to the audiobook. Liam DiCosimo and Blake Lockheart’s narration was so beautiful, they really sounded like the characters, such an awesome immersive experience reading along and listening to the narrators.

Make sure you download the bonus epilogue too.

Oh My Heart

Such a sweet honest love story. Yes it has some spicy parts, but OMG the story was superb.
I listened on Audible and whilst I did enjoy listening, it was a little hard to tell the difference between the narrators voices and I didn't like their 'female' voices for their mothers etc. Otherwise it was a great performance that bought the book alive!

One for the feels

Made me cry several times but always in a good way. This could also be an amazing movie or dramatisation, and I’d really like to see that.

Delightful

I had to keep listening to this as the story was so sweet. Not sure author wanted it reviewed with that word but they portrayed Ellis so well I fell in love with him. A deep person with a hint of innocence and always true to himself. Lucky was his everything and I totally felt that. Also liked how family was strongly portrayed.

Sweet and beautiful story

Wow the narrators were so good bringing their characters to life, especially for Ellis who with ASD didn’t talk much. I loved that the neurodiverse representation, it was done very well.
What a lovely story of acceptance and having your person always.
