Summary:
Emmett Maguire has big dreams. He wants to be country music’s biggest gay superstar--a far reach when you're 17 and living in suburban Illinois. Thankfully, his parents are letting him stay with his aunt in Jackson Hollow, Tennessee, for the summer, and perform at Wanda World—the amusement park owned by his idol, country music legend Wanda Jean Stubbs. Luke Barnes, a 17-year-old Jackson Hollow resident, has no interest in country music. As the grandson of Verna Rose, the disgraced country singer who had a famous falling out with Wanda Jean, the world of country music has only brought his family pain. But as medical bills pile up at home, he’s forced to accept a job in the last place he’d ever want to work: a restaurant at Wanda World. Sparks fly when Emmett and Luke meet and soon the two are inseparable. However, when a long-lost secret about Luke’s grandma and superstar Wanda Jean comes to light, it threatens to unravel everything. Unless the boys can uncover the truth of what really happened, their dreams could be over before they start, leaving their new relationship to go down in history as just another Sad Country Love Song.
