Poignant and powerful, The Catch is a contemporary second-chance romance that effortlessly captures the nostalgia of young love and relatably reflects the trials that come with family, 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’d expected her life to pan out.
Then, Julia’s new work in an aquarium shop washes up old memories of a whale-watching business she once imagined – and of William Quinn, the man she imagined it with. William walked into her life with striking blue eyes and constant surprises. Before she knew it, she was head-over-heels in love. However, the realities of life eventually pulled them apart. When Julia and William’s paths cross again, despite their baggage, an undeniable spark remains.
When she learns that William has made a success of their ideas, she wonders if it’s too late to finally make a success of their relationship. But Julia has already blown her first two chances at happiness with William, so a third one seems like wishful thinking. Then she uses her prowess as a paralegal to save William’s business, and when he shows up to thank her, she dares to wonder – is another chance with him possible, after all?
Perfect for fans of both modern romances like Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him and reminiscent of classics like Pride and Prejudice, The Catch is witty, heartwarming, and inspiring.

This was an excellent read from the first page to the last and would make an excellent movie to boot! The characters and plot are rich and so well developed! I love the format of the time jumps. I’ve read a couple of other books with time jumps, but both have been awful and I didn’t even finish them. But this book, The Catch, is enhanced by that style. I love that it doesn’t have raunchy and over the top sex scenes, rather it’s sweet and sad and romantic relatable story of life and love. It’s going to appeal to teens and adults alike which is rare in this day and age. I highly recommend this book, I finished it in two days. Any free time or break I got, had me picking it up because I couldn’t wait to read what happened to these true to life characters. I highly recommend this as your next book!
