The Catch by Amy Lea
5.0
✨I want to build a home inside this book and live there forever and ever and ever with a hot fisherman and cozy b&b and all the poutine I could ever eat and a charming if slightly dysfunctional family and fresh air that smells like pine trees and maple syrup and lobster. God so much lobster. I’ve never wanted to move to Canada so badly. The “what is health insurance?” joke hurt just a little bit too much. Nova Scotia I will be inside you.✨
Anyways, The Catch was such a fun blend of While You Were Sleeping meets The Proposal in the best way possible. It embodied romcom humor SO WELL. I could pick out similar scenes from each of the movies while reading, but it was completely its own thing. (For those who don’t know, Lea’s Woke Up Like This is a YA 13 Going on 30 masterpiece!)
I know there will be more books and new series (and I will be SAT!!!) but how am I to move on??? Especially when Evan and Mel were so lovely and the book so atmospheric. Again, I just want to live in it! My favorite part was just the chosen family—similar to how Sandra Bullock craves it in both While You Were Sleeping and The Proposal. But it was also definitely the hottest book in the series.
So while I’m so sad to see this series end, what a lovely send off it was. We saw brief cameos of all the past characters, and I feel such an attachment to their patchwork friend group. I cried a few times, but I definitely cried just knowing the series was over because I’m become SO ATTACHED to the way Lea writes such soft and sexy romance. I think you could read this without reading the first two, but I think the emotions will emotion the best if read in order!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶️🌶️.75*/5
*Multiple open-door scenes, language was sometimes vague and sometimes explicit. Great dirty talk and various locations.
**Spoiler**
I just need to mention the bag of false eyelashes. I won’t say anything more but once you read it YOU’LL KNOW WHAT IT DID TO MY HEART.
Thanks so much to the publisher for an eARC via NetGalley. All opinions are honest and my own.
