Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan

Pub. Date: May 26, 2026

 

Goodreads says, "If they begin 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 swinging on the porch, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?"

 

Annabel Monaghan has been my go-to author for a perfect summer read over the past few years, and I’m so happy to hear she has another beach read coming out this May. With winter approaching, it’s comforting to daydream about enjoying this book somewhere warm. Are you a fan of Annabel Monaghan? Let me know in the comments!
