'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


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 her busy dad and perplexed siblings needed taking care of, and not at thirty-nine when she moves home with her son to Wickford, Rhode Island for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the house.

So when she comes across Stewart Wickford-annoyingly handsome scion of the Wickford family-with a flat tire and a newspaper headlining how his fiancé dumped him for a NY Yankee, it's in her nature to help. But the arrangement Stewart proposes is more than she bargained for, because for the first time in her life she's forced to make space for something other than taking care of everyone else.

As public dinners and high society benefits turn into boat rides and Red Sox games, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. But she's never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?


'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. And with love itself!' - Catherine Newman, NYT bestselling author of Sandwich
