Book Summary:

Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh is a clean romance book published in 2025.

Rosie Waterman has a dream of becoming a working actor, but that hasn’t been working out. She loses her apartment and her job on the same day. A trip back home makes her realize that while she’s been struggling to make her dream come true, all her friends have become regular adults with careers, weddings, and babies on the way. Rosie realizes she has nothing to show for working on her dream, but how does she simply let go of it?

When she’s offered a job as the director of a regional theatre’s production, she jumps at the chance, even though it is in Wisconsin, and not New York. She has no other job offers, and at least she’ll be getting paid.

When she arrives, though, she realizes that the “regional theatre” is actually in a retirement community, and the “actors” are senior citizens with no acting experience whatsoever.

Her job presents new challenges, and Rosie has to step up and be the leader this fledgling theatre. The more time she spends with her new cast, the more she begins to rethink her dream.

Lynn's Review

Rosie’s dream of becoming an actor hasn’t gone as planned. After losing her job and heading back home, she ends up taking a job at a regional theater.The job is nothing like she expected. It isn’t just a regional theater; it is a theater in a retirement community.

The job may not be the one she expected, but the retirement community ends up changing her in so many ways.

This book is listed as a romance, but it felt like a rom-com book to me.

I enjoyed this book. Courntey Walsh books are hit and miss for me. This one I really liked. I loved the retirement community setting because it was different. I also liked the romance part of it and how the two characters helped each other overcome their struggles.

This book had a depth to the characters that so many romance books lack.

I will say that, like most romance books, this one was a bit cheesy in a few places, but it wasn’t as bad as many that I have read.

If you like Courtney Walsh’s books and haven’t read this, I think you will enjoy it.
