Title: A Little Bit Country

Author: Brian D Kennedy

Emmett Maguire wants to be country music’s biggest gay superstar – a far reach when you’re seventeen and living in Illinois. But for now, he’s happy to do the next best thing: Stay with his aunt in Jackson Hollow, Tennessee, for the summer and perform at the amusement park owned by his idol, country legend Wanda Jean Stubbs.

Luke Barnes hates country music. As the grandson of Verna Rose, the disgraced singer who had a famous falling out with Wanda Jean, Luke knows how much pain country music has brought his family. But when his mom’s medical bills start piling up, he takes a job at the last place he wants: a restaurant at Wanda World.

Neither boy is looking for romance, but sparks fly when they meet – and soon they’re inseparable. Until a long-lost secret about Verna and Wanda comes to light, threatening to unravel everything.

Will Emmett and Luke be able get past the truths they discover…or will their relationship go down in history as just another Sad Country Love Song?

Emmett and Luke both find themselves working at Wanda World for the summer, one a budding country star and the other a budding cook. But their reality is far from their dreams!

It was a beautiful tale about falling in love, it made my heart sing! Watching them navigate their relationships, their inner struggles was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time!

So, Emmett, I loved him!

‘I like who I am.
And I like who I like.’

He is his own person, he likes what he likes and that’s it. All teenagers should be like that instead of the typical mold they are all shoved into these days. But anyway, I digress.

Luke, I so felt for him. He has a lot on his shoulders and doesn’t think he can be who he is but then he meets Emmett.

‘I may not be big on theme parks. But I’d buy an endless number of tickets to stay on this ride.’

Cute, real, beautiful. Absolutely loved it!
