Everything's Coming Up Rosie is my 8th book by Courtney Walsh. I always enjoy knowing I can go into her books expecting a sweet story, a clean romance, witty banter, lovable characters, and good life lessons all packed into one. Readers who also enjoy these things (plus theatre arts) are sure to enjoy Courtney's newest.
While it took me a while to warm up to Rosie's character and really get into the story, by the second half of the book I found myself enjoying it more. The banter between Rosie and Booker was fun to read. Arthur was my favorite character by far. Seeing him finally open up and also share wisdom with Rosie sold me. I also enjoyed seeing other characters develop as the story progressed. My biggest struggle was with Rosie's character, especially in the beginning. It was incredibly hard for me to believe you can have life-long best friends that you can't be open and honest with. Later on, we learn a bit more about Rosie and why she holds back, but I still felt like I was missing something in the resolution.
At the end of the day though, I did enjoy this story. I think a lot of people will. My heart strings were tugged, as they always are with Courtney's books.
Thank you to NetGalley, Thomas Nelson, and Courtney Walsh for providing an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
