AlbakiReads Editorial

A childhood friendship at the edge of confession

Ellis and Lucky’s bond stretches from boyhood into adulthood, shaped by a contrast between Ellis’s quiet reserve and Lucky’s free-spirited nature. Ellis has long kept his love for his best friend unspoken; when Lucky returns to town, a new tension makes that silence harder to maintain. Told from both characters’ perspectives, the romance centers on friendship, longing, and the risk of changing a relationship that has endured across years and distance. Ellis is described as neurodivergent and as having selective mutism. This special edition adds an alternate cover, a bonus epilogue, interior character art, and custom formatting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in childhood-friends-to-lovers romance and long-held feelings.
  • Readers seeking a romance with dual points of view and a neurodivergent character with selective mutism.
  • Collectors interested in editions with character art and a bonus epilogue.

Book overview

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.

 

**Special edition includes alternate cover, bonus epilogue, original character art inside the book, and custom interior formatting.**
