Absolutely stunning!" -- Mason Deaver, award-winning author of I Wish You All the Best and The Ghosts We Keep "Equal parts emotional, earnest, and entertaining, A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY made my heart sing from the very first line. Emmett and Luke's joyful, tender story left me swooning, while Kennedy's lyrical writing captured the beauty and humor perfectly on every page. This impressive debut should be moved to the top of everyone's TBR immediately!" -- Jennifer Dugan, author of Hot Dog Girl and Some Girls Do "I devoured this heartfelt and honest LGBT+ romance in a single sitting, unable to tear myself away from Luke and Emmett's story. With sweet original lyrics, a heaping serving of comfort food, and the heart-stopping aches and flutterings of first love, A Little Bit Country is a glittering love song of a debut." -- Erin Hahn, author of You'd Be Mine and Never Saw You Coming "Sweetly romantic and completely charming, A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY is a heartfelt celebration of finding out who you are and doing it on purpose. Just as Emmett and Luke fall for each other, you'll fall head-over-heels in love with Brian D. Kennedy's fresh, funny new voice. This is a stunning debut, and it shines from start to finish." -- Katie Henry, author of This Will Be Funny Someday "Like the best country songs, Brian D. Kennedy hits every emotional note! I found myself remembering the first time I fell in love, the anxieties of when and how to come out, my hopes for the future that I could be out and proud and thriving in the career field I was most passionate about. I immediately wanted to hit repeat like with my favorite music. I'll be singing the praises of A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY everywhere I go!" -- Jason June, author of Jay's Gay Agenda and Out of the Blue "Kennedy's dual first-person perspectives earnestly showcase Emmett's irrepressible passion for his dreams and Luke's courage in the face of vulnerability, making for a light and hopeful debut." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans of Jennifer Dugan will devour this ode to music, summer love, and being true to your own desires." -- Booklist
