To Catch a Firefly by Emmy Sanders

5.0

What a phenomenal read. This book squeezed the living daylights out of my heart. What a beautiful story. I absolutely adored Ellis and Lucky. The way the chapters were split in the beginning, showing them growing up together, was perfect and helped build so much emotion. I was weeping before they were even adults, and I swear, the tears kept flowing throughout this entire book. It was just so tragically beautiful to watch these two men figure out that it was okay to love each other. They went through so much together, and they both knew they had a deep love for the other, but were always faced with some reason to only view it through a lens of friendship. I feel like I could go on and on about how much I loved Ellis, how much I loved Lucky, how perfect this book was... but I might never stop, so I'll just say that I loved it, and if you haven't read it, do yourself a favor and grab a box of tissues to dry your eyes with before you start reading.
