Everything’s Coming Up Rosie follows Rosie Waterman, a woman with a big dream: to become a working actor. But life doesn’t seem to be following the script. When she loses both her apartment and her job in one day, she does what Rosie does best—throws herself back into the world, chasing the next opportunity. But how do you let go of a dream that’s rooted in your soul?

This book hurt me in the best way. It made me giggle, tear up, laugh out loud, and want to break into song. It stirred up something deep—belief in dreams, love, and the kind of hope that feels like sunlight after rain.

My favorite characters? Rosie, of course. Plus her amazing friends, a wonderfully complex teenager, a swoon-worthy love interest, and a delightfully grumpy old man.

Why am I being a little vague? Because this is a story you need to experience for yourself. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Also the end is amazing.

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley, but that doesn’t affect my review. I don’t sugarcoat my opinions—I only recommend the stories that genuinely touch my heart.
