Catch the Sun

De: Jennifer Hartmann

Narrado por: Raven Wildewood, Dane Anderson

"Kissing you feels like catching the sun . . . "

At seven years old, Ella Sunbury and Max Manning were inseparable—until life scattered them in different directions, forcing Ella to abruptly leave town. A decade later, she returns for their senior year of high school, moving in across the street from her childhood best friend. But she's not the same girl Max once knew.

She now lives in the shadow of her brother: a notorious felon on death row, convicted of a crime that shook the nation. Reeling from the fallout and shunned by her peers, all Ella wants is to fade into the background.

Max has little room for distractions, juggling responsibilities for a disabled father and a distant twin brother. But Ella's return reignites something within him. He wants to be close to her again, to understand her . . . and to turn their friendship into more.

But as their relationship blossoms, new tragedy strikes, and darkness threatens to tip their delicate balance. In order to find the light, they'll have to navigate the shadows.

And to catch the sun . . . they must first endure the flames.

Contains mature themes.

Good book

I quickly disliked max's voice but pushed through the book to see how the plot would play out. Happy I did

Good story- double 2nd chance

The female narrator was perfect
I liked the male voice in and of itself but it didn’t match the MMC. His voice is too gruff and mature for an 18 year old.

Hartmann does it again

Spine tingling master piece! Characters are so well written. Even though there’s very little spice, it’s not missed. The story makes up for it.

Another 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 book by Jennifer Hartmann ! I would love to say I've flown through her books. But it always takes me far too long to get to the next. I have to give my heart time to heal. Even though she always does an impeccable job of healing it by the end of the book! I'm so glad I'm finally getting to this book!

Ella and Max's story was 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. But I did enjoy the ride that Jennifer put me through! Ella's character stole my heart right away with her witty and take-no-BS personality! And Max, oh sweet sweet Max, this boy's patience was insane. His love for Ella was beautiful! Right from the start. Even as children this boy adored her. And knew that she was it for him. And even as a broody teenager, he saw Ella just like he always had as kids. Even the sides she hid from the world.

These two couldn't have found their way back to each other at a better time. I loved watching Max win over the very cynical Ella. And watching both of them find a safe place in each other.

This book is told over a few timelines. And each one flowed so well. Jennifer did such a good job of having you connect with the characters. Even the side characters. I feel like that's one of my favorite parts about the books she writes. She always does such an incredible job of making you see the character. Fall for them. And never wanna let them go!

Thank you Jennifer for another 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 story! You always blow me away! And this book was no different!!!

This audiobook was so good! I'm so glad I listened to it. Raven Wildewood was the 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 Ella. With her playful voice she delivered Ella's sarcastic comebacks so flawlessly! I thought so many times while listening to this book, that I couldn't have imagined a better Ella. Dane Anderson did such an incredible job giving us 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 Max. He brought so much life to Max's character. Especially during the emotional scenes. They were delivered so well. Max and Ella needed this pair. And I couldn't have been more happy with their performances!

One of the best!

Jennifer Hartmann does it again. This book was fantastic. It’s a must read! Story was great, a little mystery and lots of romance.

Incredibly storytelling

This story is so heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. The incredible narrators made it feel so real and vivid. Be ready to shed quite a few tears with this one.

Loved It

I loved this book!!!! The storyline was great. The characters were amazing. It had passion, emotion. I am now a big fan.!!!

Sooooo good!

I loved this story when I read it and I love it even more hearing it brought to life by two incredible narrators, this story was amazingly written and the feelings you have during this story as it unfolds is like a rollercoaster. I love max and Ellie so much! This was an incredible audiobook

One of the best love stories of all time

I found this book relatable and I just love the characters. It had me gripped the whole time, and there were so many points along the way where I was gripped by intense emotion and hanging on by a thread as the story unraveled, I really felt like I went on a journey with the characters. Absolutely loved it!

Wow

Wow, just wow! This book has alot going on in it. But it's really well written and well worth every minute. There isn't a ton of sexy scenes but it's super romantic. And yes they're young when the sexy times start but they're 18 and older and both have been through more then some people go through in one life. So don't listen to the bad reviews about the them being young. That isn't worth not listening to this story. Loved!!
