Everything's Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh 

Pub Date 10 June 2025 

 

“Sometimes what you think you want and what you want turn out to be different things . . . 

 

Rosie Waterman has one goal to become a working actor. But lately, that hasn't been working out. When she loses her apartment and job on the same day, she does what she always does--puts herself out there, ready to find the next big thing.When she's offered a job as the director of a regional theatre's production of Cinderella, she jumps at the chance--even though she's only directed in college and the job is in Door County, Wisconsin, and not in New York. She has no other offers, and at least she'll be getting paid to do something theatrical. But when she arrives, she quickly realizes that the "regional theatre" is actually in a retirement community, and the "actors" are actually senior citizens with no acting experience whatsoever. The more time she spends with her new cast, the more she begins to rethink what it means to dream big, especially when that big dream hasn't turned out to be at all what she thought it would be. It's not at all what she expected, but could it be exactly what she needs?” 

 

The pros of this book were great. It felt like a movie, and it played in my head fantastically. Ask for a book; I wanted much more! The book took me quite some time to finish, and I was on the slower end of the finish line. I found the ending of the book emotional even though I was not ever connected at all. 

 

I recommend this book if you like less romance-heavy books, though you might like this one! 

 

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for the free book in exchange for this review.
