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 Nora Goes Off Script.
‘This book is like a spicy margarita…sweet and a little salty, tart and hot…I have fallen in love with Dolly and with funny, fizzing Annabel Monaghan!’ —Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich
If they start by pretending, can they end with something real?
Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home.
So when she comes across 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 Stewart’s proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high-society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that hit her bloodstream like a ghost pepper, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself—can she really start now?
Genre: Romance

"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
"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
"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
"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
"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

"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 anabsolute treat is what I'm trying to say. I wish I could read it again for the first time. (Lucky, lucky you!)." - Catherine Newman
