I was never a theater kid. I was a choir kid, but I was always more of a writer. Now I’m a teacher, and I had the honor of codirecting Peter Pan Jr with my best friend at the elementary school I worked at.
One of the things Rosie, the main character, says is that theater is a community. And it’s so true.
This book was warm and cozy. It was hopeful. It was funny. And it had a nice amount of romance sprinkled in it. If you want a quick, feel good read, this book is for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the ARC.

I’ve read a couple of CW books and this didn’t disappoint. I loved the romance and the plot, it was perfectly balanced.
Rosie is very relatable, nothing in her life or career is going how she thought and is struggling. She ends up getting a directing job but it’s not what she thinks. Booker is her perfect match and helps Rosie open up and she finds her true self again.
This rom-com has quirky-witty-banter, life challenges/lessons, only kissing, lovable side characters, and you definitely need tissues on hand.
I can’t wait to reread this when it comes out and listen to the audiobook.

Courtney Walsh writes the feel-good books that I NEED. I am so grateful to have a go-to author for when I need a little pick-me-up. This book was DELIGHTFUL. A misunderstanding when accepting a job offer (in Door County, WI, one of my most FAVORITE PLACES IN THE WORLD, so I was extra excited for that part) leads to quite the summer adventure for Rosie Waterman. While The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley and The Summer of Yes are still going to remain slightly above this one in my ranking of CW books, this one isn't that far off. Add this one to your TBR if you're in need of a sweet story that feels like a warm hug.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher; I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was such a wholesome, sweet story 🥹 it took me a little while to get into but I absolutely loved the setting and all of the side characters. It was really refreshing to read from Rosie’s point of view and see her struggling to find her place in the world, I found myself really relating to her in a lot of the book. I absolutely loved Booker but I wish we got a little bit more romance!

Thank you, NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for providing me with the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another delightful read! I loved it! It's a wonderful combination of romance, finding your path in life, adorable and quirky characters, snarky dialogue, and a satisfying HEA. I also enjoyed how Walsh really captured the feeling of being part of a production where the cast and crew become a family. As an added bonus, there are lots of entertainment-related trivia which made me smile.

I also loved Rosie's friends. Maybe there's a potential series here???

No profanity and PG kissing. Yay!

Bottom line: This will definitely be a re-read when I buy the final version of the ebook and audiobook.

Oh man! Everything's Coming Up Rosie may be my new favorite Courtney Walsh! Her writing has such an incredible way of pulling me in and keeping me invested every step of the way! This book felt different from her usual stories! It had a little more depth, and leaned more towards women's fiction rather than just a quirky romcom book! I really loved each of the characters! AND ROSIE! She's a spunky heroine who feels so deeply, in such a beautiful way! I loved the romance in this one! While it had its deep themes, Everything's Coming Up Rosie was just plain fun to read!

This book is perfect in every way!! I could not put it down. Rosie is so relatable as she is struggling to figure out her life. Booker is the perfect match for her and is such a cutie pie. The multigenerational characters pull on my heart strings. I will be thinking about this book for days and months to come. Courtney Walsh has quickly moved to the top of my must read authors over the last couple of years. and she certainly did not disappoint with this one.

I love Courtney Walsh books and this one did not disappoint. Rosie is a loveable character trying to find her way in life. She's lost her job and apartment in the same and returns home to find her friends all have families and careers. She gets offered a job directing a ragtag group on senior citizens in a production of Cinderella. I found myself rooting for Rosie the entire book! This book is funny, heartwarming and sweet. Everything really is coming up Rosie!

Okay, so I picked up Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh because the synopsis sounded like a rom com wrapped up in a feel good life lesson, and it delivered exactly that! The story is about Rosie Waterman, who’s this relatable mess of a human being. She’s been chasing her dream of being an actor for years, but life keeps throwing her curveballs. She heads back home and gets hit with the reality that all her friends are thriving as adults while she’s still out here hustling with nothing to show for it. Then the opportunity to direct a Cinderella play lands in her lap. Except when she gets there, it’s not a real theatre, but a retirement community, and her actors are all senior citizens. It’s basically her worst nightmare, but also kind of hilarious! Rosie starts to rethink her dreams, priorities, and what “making it” even means. Overall, it’s funny, heartfelt, and super sweet journey!
