A Town & Country Best New Romance Novel to Read this Year
A Scary Mommy Most Anticipated Book of the Year
“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
“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.”
—B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of Good Spirits
“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)
“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
“I finished Dolly all the Time last night—I think I nearly died. It might be my favorite 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
“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
“Monaghan frames the story around independence, vulnerability, and the uneasy shift from self-sufficiency to partnership.”
—Town & Country
"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
“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
"Annabel Monaghan is the queen of writing romances about actual normal middle-aged people, some of them moms, who still deserve romance. And in her newest effort, we meet Dolly, a single mom who’s about to get into a pretty intense fake relationship. Can’t wait!"
—Scary Mommy
“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
