When your career trajectory isn't what you expect and you end up home and compare yourself to your friends, it's not a good feeling.
Rosie is back home and just isn't making it big on broadway. She accepted a job to be the director for Cinderella, she thought this was her big break. She was surprised to find that this was not a typical theater but one in a retirement community.
I love books where there are elderlies and they form a friendship. The found family and the growth of Rosie was so perfect.
Though there is a romantic aspect to the story, it does take a back seat. This book focuses on life and how it may not go as you plan but it can still make you happy.
Jorjeana Marie did a great job on the narration.
Thank you @thomasnelson @netgalley for a copy of the audiobook.

“Sometimes dreams shift and change and grow, and changing along with them isn’t failing.”
All the love for Everything’s Coming Up Rosie! Courtney Walsh brilliantly delivers a beautiful love letter to the theater & acting in this heartfelt, inspirational romance. Having been on the stage a time or two, I eagerly devoured every page of this book. From all the plays & musical references, to the witty banter, ups & downs of putting on a show, & the sweet, slow burn, friends to more romance, I loved every moment.
Rosie Waterman’s dream is to make it big as an actor. She’s lived in New York, auditioned, & put herself out there, without much success. When she returns home after losing her job, she feels like everyone’s grown up, having babies, getting married, getting their dream job except her. After submitting several resumes, she lands a job in Wisconsin directing Cinderella for a recreational theater. Though it’s not her dream, it’s a theater job & she leaps. What she doesn’t realize is that the theater is in a retirement community & all the actors are senior citizens. But, Rosie decides to give it a go & it doesn’t hurt that there’s a handsome, young physical therapist on staff. As she interacts with these wise, delightful new friends, she learns dreams can be reimagined.
I absolutely adored this book! Rosie’s & Booker’s romance was so achingly beautiful. I loved the sizzling attraction between them, their witty banter, & Nonfiction Fridays. Then there’s all the endearing residents of Sunset Hills. I especially loved the gruff Arthur & the special connection he has with Rosie.
This book was such a delight & a favorite of this year. Rosie’s dream & the way she learned & grew will stay with me. I only wished I could have seen the Cinderella production for real. The author captured all those highs & lows of performing & leaving the deepest parts of yourself on stage. It’s a not to miss read especially for anyone who loves the theater.
The audiobook was fantastic! I loved the narrator & the way she voiced all these endearing characters. She put just the right amount of emotion into her performance & it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Highly recommend to inspirational romance fans! I received an advanced copy from the publisher with no expectation of a positive review. My opinions are completely my own & provided voluntarily.

Cute story. I loved all the characters at Sunset and the journey of Rosie’s self discovery. I wish the romance had more tension or build up, it just seemed too easy.

I love the novels that bring in a bunch of people at different ages and stages in life to provide perspective - I feel like it's a nice mirror into our actual lives. This was cute and quick read!
