🏳️🌈 Gay Country Music
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.

Growing up listening to country music, this book was absolutely adorable! I loved the homey feel of the writing and references to country music. I wish the two boys meshed a bit better together. I don't know if I could picture them in real life together, I feel like their personalities are a bit too different.
