The Catch

By Jenna Miles

Book Overview

Poignant and powerful, The Catch is a retro Gen X second chance romance with an angsty love triangle. Set in 1993, 2006, and 2012, it captures the nostalgia of young love alongside the all-too-relatable trials of motherhood and responsibility.

Julia Dunphy's husband just left her for the second time, her thirteen-year-old won't stop swearing in public, and to top it all off, her four-year-old just asked to buy condoms. Needless to say, this isn't how she expected her life to pan out.

As a teenager in the nineties, Julia had big dreams of a marine biology career that even William, the working class boy next door, could not derail. Still, despite time, distance, and marriage to another man, Julia's fondest memories revolved around William's blue eyes, loyal heart, and quiet intellect. After eleven years and countless broken dreams, Julia and William had a second chance when they imagined a whale-watching business - until Julia's family and responsibilities had to come first.

Now, amid the irreparable wreckage of her marriage, Julia learns that William has made a success of their whale watching ideas. She knows a third chance with William is far too much to hope for. But when she uses her training as a paralegal to save William's business, and he shows up to thank her, she dares to wonder - is another chance with him possible, after all?

Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Christina Lauren, and reminiscent of classics like Jane Austen's Persuasion, The Catch is witty, heartwarming, and inspiring.
