'Beautiful, sexy, and escapist, DOLLY ALL THE TIME is my new favourite Annabel Monaghan book. I adored it!' - Beth O’Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare


A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion, from the New York Times bestselling author of It's a Love Story

If they begin by pretending, can they end with something real?

Dolly Brick is a woman you can rely on. She’s never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was ten, and not at thirty-nine when she returns to her hometown of Whitfield, Rhode Island to help her dad and brother from losing the family home.

So when she sees Stewart Whitfield – annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family – with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it’s in her nature to help. But what Stewart asks of Dolly ends up being more than either of them bargained for. As public dinners and high society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that give her butterflies, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?

Critics Review

Beautiful, sexy, and escapist, Dolly All the Time is my new favorite Annabel Monaghan book. I adored it!
Beth O’Leary, bestselling author of THE FLATSHARE
Quick, witty, and an absolute triumph, Dolly All the Time is escapism at its very best! I laughed out loud and swooned at the chemistry. I can’t get enough of Annabel Monaghan, she’s a star storyteller
Paige Toon, internationally bestselling author of Seven Summers
Another delicious story about falling in love and finding yourself from Annabel Monaghan. Annabel has such a tender way of crafting her characters. I couldn't help but tumble head over heels for Dolly and Stewart and their fake-dating-turned-very-real romance. The perfect book to soak up the summer sun with, I can’t wait for readers to get their hands on this enchanting story
BK Borison, New York Times bestselling author of GOOD SPIRITS
Everything I want in a love story! Dolly and Stewart’s chemistry is off the charts, and their summer romance grips you from the very first page and sparkles like the sun
Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of THE GRAHAM EFFECT
I have fallen in love with Dolly. And with funny, fizzing Annabel Monaghan. And with love itself! This book is like a spicy margarita or a magic ice cream cone, the way it's sweet and a little salty and tart and hot and just the tiniest bit bitter. And then also deeply, surprisingly nourishing. What an absolute treat is what I'm trying to say. I wish I could read it again for the first time. (Lucky, lucky you!)
Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of SANDWICH and WRECK
I finished Dolly all the Time last night – I think I nearly died. It might be my favourite love story of all time. This book isn’t just brilliant, it’s exceptional. I loved it with all my heart.
Rosie Walsh, New York Times bestselling author of THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
A fresh take on fake dating and a cheeky wink to Pretty Woman, this is a love story for the eldest daughters, who hold the weight of the world on their shoulders and just want to be held in return. My face hurt from smiling when I finished this book
Iman Hariri-Kia, author of A HUNDRED OTHER GIRLS
I wish I could live in the worlds built by Annabel Monaghan. Dolly All the Time sweeps us away to a charming seaside town for a salt-laced summer with Dolly and Stewart, and you'll never want to leave. A Cinderella tale spun with a lovable and eccentric cast of characters, this book might be my favorite one yet. No one writes modern love stories like Monaghan—with wry humor, warmth, and a deeply romantic soul
Maurene Goo, author of Reese Book Club YA winter pick THROWBACK
Monaghan creates an impossibly winning story with a charming, lovable heroine. Dolly is capable, hardworking, and will do anything for the people she loves . . . It’s also refreshing that, even though Dolly must learn to allow other people to help her, she never views her caretaking responsibilities as burdens. She deeply loves her family, and that love carries through the entire story. A charming love story that absolutely radiates warmth
Kirkus (starred review)
Equal parts comforting and inspiring, Dolly All the Time had me grinning from ear to ear, from beginning to end. With a delightful cast of characters and a romance worth kicking your feet over, Annabel Monaghan has written a winner
Brooke Averick, author of PHOEBE BERMAN'S GONNA LOSE IT
A fresh, funny take on the fake-dating trope that cements Annabel Monaghan as the queen of contemporary romantic comedy. Dolly is a heroine everyone will be rooting for, I loved her, and didn't want her story to end. Packed full of chemistry, and Monaghan's signature humour and charm, this is going to be the must read rom com of the summer.'
Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of THIS TIME NEXT YEAR
