Dolly All The Time by Annabel Monaghan Pre-Order May 26th 2026

From Annabel Monaghan, the bestselling author of Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script, comes a charming, heartfelt romance about second chances, fake dating, and learning when to finally let someone help.

Dolly Brick has built her life on one rule: solve everything herself. She’s done it since her mother left when she was twelve, and she’s doing it again at thirty-nine, moving back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer with her young son to save her family’s beloved home from foreclosure.

Enter Stewart Whitfield — irritatingly handsome heir to the town’s most prominent family — stranded with a flat tire and fresh from a spectacularly public breakup. When Stewart proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement that involves pretending to date, Dolly agrees, fully intending to keep things practical and temporary.

But fake dinners turn into sunset boat rides. Public appearances turn into stolen kisses. And somewhere between high-society fundraisers and late-night conversations, Dolly realizes she’s no longer pretending.

She’s spent her whole life being the strong one. But what if love means finally letting someone be strong for her?

Warm, funny, and irresistibly romantic, Dolly All the Time is a joyful story about independence, family, and the terrifying, wonderful leap of trusting your heart again.
