The backstory to this was so good, the family secrets, hidden songs, and some good old gay country music. As someone who grew up listening to country music it is so satisfying to see all the queer artists gaining recognition. So I loved this book and Emmett fully committed to his dream.
I am so happy with how this book ended. I was a little nervous there for a second. The internalized homophobia ran deep. Having said that the character development was amazing. All the characters were written nicely, they had depth and personality. I really enjoyed reading this.

This was a book club book. I listened to the audiobook. the narrators did an amazing job. I believe the author had the story plotted out well . I enjoyed seeing some of the plot twists and it was neat seeing them working at a park inspired by one I grew up going to . I did struggle getting through this book due how Luke treated Emmett through most of the book. I also felt that some of Emmett's actions came off selfish at the beginning . The character development and the ending made this book worth the listen . I did end up liking the characters . I also liked the plot twist. I was glad I stuck with it .
