Rosie wants to be a successful actress on the stage, but she is in a place of stagnation. Her roommate kicks her out of the apartment for nonpayment of rent on the same day she loses her job. In desperation, she moves back to her parents' home--but she was going to be going there for a baby shower for one of her best friends. She hasn't been totally honest with her friends about how life has been in New York. When she gets an offer from one of her blind applications for the summer she takes the offer without thinking. She finds out she's taken a job in a retirement center to direct their summer musical.
Rosie's summer gets off to rousing start when she sinks her golf cart into the mud. Life at the senior community has its charm and its mishaps. It also has Booker Hayes, a physical therapist and handyman who is called on to help out in a myriad of ways.
There is a romance that brews between Booker and Rosie, but it develops slowly and organically. I liked the way Rosie's dreams developed. I really appreciated the way Courtney Walsh pulled that part of the story together. This is the kind of book that readers will not want to put it down and will lose sleep to finish the novel. Four Strong Stars.
