Dolly All the Time: A GMA Book Club Pick by Annabel Monaghan

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK A heartfelt, funny, and romantic story about a hardworking single mom who returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake-dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic local scion—from the New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script.

Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not now 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 crosses paths with Stewart Whitfield—the annoyingly handsome scion of the town’s most prominent family—after his very public, very humiliating breakup, helping him out feels like second nature.

What starts as a practical arrangement (public dinners, high-society events, and boat rides in exchange for helping save her family’s house) quickly turns into something more. Sunset kisses, quiet moments by the shore, and genuine connection make Dolly question everything she thought she knew about relying on others—and whether she’s finally ready to let someone in.

With its perfect blend of humor, emotion, small-town charm, and sizzling chemistry, Dolly All the Time is a luminous story of love, duty, family, and the courage it takes to choose yourself (and maybe fall in love while you’re at it). Think Pretty Woman meets Cinderella with a modern, heartfelt twist.

Perfect for fans of Annabel Monaghan, Carley Fortune, Emily Henry, and anyone who loves smart, swoony contemporary romance, fake dating tropes, single mom stories, and feel-good summer reads that also tug at the heartstrings. Ideal as a beach read or GMA Book Club selection for your next book club discussion.
