![]() How the world can expect us to hide who we are to succeed, to make things easier for us, but how it would mean losing a piece of ourselves. For Luke, I loved the ways A Little Bit Country examines ethics and the sacrifices we make for success. At the same time, the layers of secrets and concealment he lives under. The responsibility he feels that is crushing him. My heart went out instantly to Luke and how hard he’s working to keep his family together. To discover who we are apart from the expectations we have. With the ways in which we have to fight for our dreams and make new friends. But A Little Bit Country brings them together in not only a shower of chemistry, but also forces them to sit with their own selves. On paper Emmett and Luke may seem different – one an aspiring country music singer and another with family conflicts with one of country music’s greatest singers. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Unless the boys can uncover the truth of what really happened, their dreams could be over before they start, leaving their new relationship to go down in history as just another Sad Country Love Song. However, when a long-lost secret about Luke’s grandma and superstar Wanda Jean comes to light, it threatens to unravel everything. But sparks fly when they meet and soon the two are inseparable. With Emmett focused on his career, and Luke blossoming in the kitchen, neither boy is expecting to find romance. But as medical bills pile up at home, he’s forced to accept a job in the last place he’d ever want to work: a restaurant at Wanda World. As the grandson of Verna Rose, the disgraced country singer who had a famous falling out with Wanda Jean, the world of country music has only brought his family pain. Luke Barnes, a 17-year-old Jackson Hollow resident, has no interest in country music. Thankfully, his parents are letting him do the next best thing for the summer: stay with his aunt in Jackson Hollow, Tennessee, and perform at Wanda World-the amusement park owned by his idol, country music legend Wanda Jean Stubbs. He wants to be country music’s biggest gay superstar-a far reach when you’re 17 and living in suburban Illinois. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. It will bring you back to country fairgrounds, fried snacks, and fireworks. Dual POV, A Little Bit Country is the perfect queer summer read. A Little Bit Country is a character grounded story about honesty, love, and following our dreams.
