Dumplin’ meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this heartfelt and funny LGBTQ+ contemporary romance about two teen boys who fall in love against the backdrop of a fictional Dollywood-esque amusement park—from debut author Brian D. Kennedy. A pitch perfect next read for fans of Phil Stamper, Julie Murphy, and David Levithan.

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?

Lily F. ★★★★★

I finished this in two sittings, which never happens for me anymore. The two boys' voices felt so real, and the small-town country backdrop made the romance hit harder. Getting a signed copy was just the cherry on top.

Lucy S. ★★★★★

The signed title page made this feel like a real keepsake, not just another paperback. I finished it in two sittings because the two boys' romance kept pulling me back, and the small-town country backdrop was way more charming than I expected.

Jason ★★★★★

I’ve been waiting for a romance that feels this genuine, and the signed copy on my shelf is already a little dog-eared from rereads. The way the two boys’ chemistry builds through those banter-filled scenes had me grinning like an idiot on the bus.
