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.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Ellis and Lucky have been best friends and inseparable since the day Lucky moved in next door to Ellis. Unhappy to have moved in the first place, Lucky never wanted to be in their small town in Nebraska. But Ellis makes it worth it every single day. And while Ellis is quiet and has some trouble speaking his thoughts, Lucky is able to understand him in a way no one else does. Their bond is sweet and beautiful and they are everything the other wants. If only they had the courage to say so. For Ellis, he knew that Lucky wanted to see and explore the world. He has never been shy about it. And even when he realized his feelings for Lucky, he could never ask him to stay. And Ellis could never leave after learning his mom was sick. He always loved their town anyway. It’s home. And he’ll always be here for Lucky. He may not be able to tell him his true feelings but as long as Lucky still wants to be his friend and come home, he’ll be there. Lucky knew he always wanted to leave but he refuses to lose Ellis in the process. When Ellis pushes him to pursue his dreams, he goes with reluctance. But he stays in touch with Ellis through it all. And through the years it takes Lucky a while to realize that he is in love with Ellis but he believes Ellis doesn’t feel the same. And it only takes them a moment of courage to realize they could have everything they always wanted if they are brave enough to take that leap. I adored this story. I loved how their friendship slowly turned into so much more. They grew up together as their relationship grew as well. And only when they were ready did everything finally come together. Such a sweet, sweet story! I couldn’t put it down.
