A luminous story of love, duty and the tension between the two, Dolly All the Time is so beautifully rendered... I never wanted to leave – CARLEY FORTUNE, bestselling author of Every Summer After

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 beside herself, can she really start now?

PRAISE FOR DOLLY ALL THE TIME:

'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

'Annabel has such a tender way of crafting her characters... The perfect book to soak up the summer sun with' – BK BORISON

“Quick, witty, and an absolute triumph, Dolly All the Time is escapism at its very best!' – PAIGE TOON

'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

'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... I have fallen in love with Dolly' – CATHERINE NEWMAN

'This book isn’t just brilliant, it’s exceptional... It might be my favourite love story of all time' – ROSIE WALSH
