Okay, this book warmed my East Tennessee, Dollywood-loving heart. Brian nailed this story with two protagonists that stole the show in completely different ways!

I loved the dynamics of this story, the complicated mess of emotions that exist between two people trying to figure out if what they have together is worth the trouble (you’ll have to read to see the answer to that!) and all of the intense questioning and self-reflection that come with it.

Wanda World is clearly a love letter to Dollywood, a magical place at which I’ve spent countless hours in my life. Brian gets the atmosphere SO right, and it was delightful reading a story set in a similar place.

This book will definitely appeal to Robbie Couch and Phil Stamper fans with its wit and tenderness, as well as Julie Murphy fans, with its healthy dose of Southern charm and tribute to all things country!

Bravo to Brian on a fun, charming debut that left me very emotional in several spots toward the end!
