Rosie went to live her dream in NYC to become a broadway actor, but the best thing she did was play a corpse on Law and Order. On the brink of bankruptcy, she takes a temporary position in Wisconsin at an assisted living facility to cast and direct a production of Cinderella, starring the octogenarian residents.
Everyone is in love with Booker, the old and young ladies alike. Eventually Rosie falls for Booker and has to decide if she is going to give up the dream of acting on stage or keep going.
Rosie has a sad (but not overly tragic) backstory. The older crowd has some cranky naysayers and some filled with wisdom. They are a cute side character addition and a fun setting. If I have one criticism I would have liked to see more of the residents, less of Rosie’s insecure internal dialogue.
I am a fan of Courtney Walsh, she is the master of building chemistry while still keeping the bedroom door closed. It’s not easy to do. But I always end up a little happier when I finish her books.
Book to be published June 10, 2025. Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson fiction for the ARC.
