To Catch a Firefly

De: Emmy Sanders

Narrado por: Blake Lockheart, Liam DiCosimo

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.

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!!!

I love this story

I love characters that have endearing traits. These characters are both so easy to like. The story has a slow burn, which is something else I also like. Highly recommend!

I am moved

This book is so damn moving! I just finished listening and I can’t stop crying and this is a definite first for me. I honestly can’t say that I’ve been moved to tears before reading this book. It’s tricky to get emotions out of me and joy doesn’t =/= sobbing for me. With that said, I am moved and I don’t know what to do with my hands.

I still have 4 hours left in my work day, and I really want to feign sick so I can just go feel in peace while considering all of the love and beauty and sparkly blue oceans whilst sobbing uncontrollably. Sheesh! Slow clap for all parties involved.

a true gem

Really beautiful story. And as an autistic person, I really appreciate the representation through the neurodivergence lens.

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

Most beautiful story and narration perfection

This story is the sweetest story ever told. It’s absolute perfection. My heart felt so full the whole book. I had never heard the narrators before, and they are now in my top five. I loved them both so much, and their performances were perfect for their roles. I follow a lot of other narrators and none of them could have done what these two narrators did. Superb casting and absolute stellar performances. I felt the emotion through their voices. The mutism was perfectly demonstrated. Gasp! I can’t get enough of this book and these two narrators. 5,000 stars. So much love pouring out of the pages of this book.

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
