A Little Bit Country by Brian D. Kennedy is an LGBTQ+ rom-com set at a country-music theme park — and yes, it's as delightful as it sounds. At 17, Emmett Maguire already has dreams of being country music's most famous gay star. But for now, he's happy to spend the summer in Jackson Hollow, TN, where he has a gig performing at an amusement park owned by country-music royalty Wanda Jean Stubbs. Meanwhile, Luke Barnes despises country music due to the painful dispute his grandmother Verna Rose had with Wanda Jean. But with his mom being inundated with medical bills, Luke has no choice but to take a job at the Wanda World restaurant, where he's destined to cross paths with Emmett.
