“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

“Whenever I read Annabel Monaghan, I find myself basking in warmth, wit and wisdom. A luminous story of love, duty and the tension between the two, Dolly All the Time is so beautifully rendered that it’s less like a novel and more like a place I never wanted to leave. This might be my new favorite!”
—Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

“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)

“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 signature humor and charm, this is going to be the must read rom com of the summer.”
—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven’t Met You Yet

“No one writes funny, lovable women like Annabel Monaghan. She’s the closest we have to a modern-day Nora Ephron. Her characters sparkle on the page and have such warmth—what I strive for in all my books as well. Dolly sends us to a small seaside town with a single mom and the son of the town’s fanciest family. I drank this book up like I do all of Annabel’s books, the love story tender and funny.”
—TODAY.com, Maurene Goo

“[A] heartening summer romance . . . Monaghan’s sunny tale expertly balances the joy of falling in love with the realities of making difficult life decisions, dealing with anxieties, and managing stress. Throw this one in the beach bag.”
—Publishers Weekly

“This slow burn is heartfelt, weaving a story of prior neglect and abandonment into one of acceptance and hope. Monaghan offers a beautiful read in which two unlikely characters come together and learn the meaning of love and acceptance in times of need.”
—Library Journal

“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

“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

“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

“Annabel Monaghan is a MASTER at slow burn romance! . . . Annabel has this gift of using such small moments to really pack a punch and have you wishing you are a fly on the wall . . . I honestly hope Annabel never stops writing.”
