After the Instagram algorithm absolutely pelting me with this book on release, I knew I would eventually read it as I have no willpower and I am susceptible to marketing 🤣

A Little Bit Country is a fun queer YA romance with a country music twist. I was feeling Dolly Parton vibes the entire way through and loved it. Emmett dreams of making it big as an out and proud gay country music superstar, and plans on spending the summer working at the amusement park owned by his idol, country music start Wanda Jean Stubbs. Luke is focused on working as hard as he can to support his financially struggling family as his mum suffers from MS, and ends up working at the amusement park owned by his grandmother's former country music co-star...

I really liked the sparks that flew between Luke and Emmett and felt particularly drawn to Luke, struggling with coming to terms with his sexuality and having an unwell/disabled parent as a dependent. Also, a fun little mysterious story in the background, which I have to admit I did guess at the moment it was hinted 😅. Overall, a charming story with lovable characters, thoroughly enjoyable.
