THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. 😍😍😍

I’ve been a big Courtney Walsh fan for several years and adore her! Her writing is charming and endearing while also deeply meaningful. She knows how to tell a good story!

To know Courtney is to know her passion for theatre—and this was a love letter to the theatre! How cool is that?!

Rosie was… herself! She’s quirky yet endearing, a proficient actor who struggles with vulnerability, feeling like a failure but actually incredibly brave. She was real and nuanced, and I loved her for it. Fans of Penelope Edgewood from Pepper Basham’s Positively Penelope will be enchanted by this heroine!! 

I laughed till it hurt so many times. In fact, I read part of this in the waiting room at the doctors and was silently shaking in hysterics. 😂 That’s why I can’t read in public—my facial expressions are too pronounced. But I couldn’t put the book down! 

And then I had to swipe away some tears because for all the giggles, matchmaking seniors, mishaps, hilarious side characters, and swoony adorable romance (I’m Booker & Rosie’s biggest fan 🙌🏻🙌🏻), there was real depth to the book. Arthur’s wisdom and wisecracks made him a favourite, and Rosie’s journey of discovering how dreams change and adapt—a new dream isn’t a failure, it’s a learning curve—hit me hard. 🥹

This might be my new top favourite Courtney Walsh book! 🤭
